Being able to show it as part of the "audience screen" is needed
anyways for the scenarios where pinpoint is run with only one
window/display. I still think it would be useful to be able to bring
it up only on the speaker screen - since seeing potentially yet unseen
parts of the presentation can be distracting to the audience.

Figuring out the details of this is related to another unresolved
issue; which is how to integrate the speaker screen with the
applications overall behavior. (This is also related to possibly
adding a visual editing interface.)

The visual slide picker would probably not involve the speaker notes
at all. But probably be a grid showing all the slides in the
presentation allowing you to click one of them to jump to that slide
in the presentation.
