i'm a newbie to these embedded development boards and had initial success 
with a beagle bone black, i got the combo :
- beagle bone black https://beagleboard.org/black
- and the 7" lcd touchscreen cape from 4d systems 
http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/4DCAPE_70T/
 
this is a great/awesome combo as it makes the BBB a complete (linux) 
computer with its own (resistive) touch screen LCD running off a 5 volt 
power supply ! (not a simple usb port though)

unfortunately linux is very keyboard based & i installed florence 
(on-screen virtual keyboard) from 
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/florence
(florence do have various dependencies which needs to be installed together 
and in addition install the package "at-spi2-core" as a dependency as 
otherwise florence fails/aborts with errors at every key click)

a screen print:

running chrome(ium) is very heavy on this tiny little board but it works 
for what's worth!
this still leaves room to patch circuits at the extension headers (gpios / 
analog inputs, etc) 

would likely try the android install as it'd seem android is more 
appropriate / usable for a touch screen device
