Wow! That's exactly what I've been (well, still am) waiting for! And I wanted to develop this myself once I had won the bingo millions :-)

pros: runs embedded linux, looks to be < $350, >4" display,
touchscreen, quick boot
cons: comes loaded with Opera as a web browser (major bummer)

I love Opera! What's your problem about it?

Has anyone found a similar niche device that looks like it fits this

As I said I have been looking for something like this. What imho comes closest might be the Simpad. But it's EOLed and on ebay still more or (almost as) expensive then these 350$

ViewSonic AirDisplays (big, Microsoft-shackled).

Do they still exist?
