Here's the course correction. To the OP: What's the application for the device? Is $200 really realistic given the actual requirements you have (screen size). What are your actual [full] requirements? On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 10:16 AM, John Aldrich <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Well, the Dell Mini is about $250 running Ubuntu Linux.

All it needs to do is have a touchscreen, wifi & have a browser. Does such a device exist? If so, can anyone supply a link? Thanks!
