Hi Mani, take a look at the code of android-x86 that implaments a way to use MENU, BACK and HOME buttons in a device with just touchscreen. The name of the file that implements this is Touchable.java.
http://www.android-x86.org/documents/touch-only-device-howto The inconvenient is that you need to do this modification in the Androidplataform, but as you will use Android to a specific device, if think it is not a big deal.
