well it's at least worth noting that the NintendoDS which is in a
similar price bracket does have a touchscreen, that presumably isnt
fragile or expensive.
iirc the Zaurus also has one, though the starting price is higher, it
does run a pretty complete version of linus on a fabulous 640x480
screen.

It seems that a touchscreen has been rejected by OLPC, though this

I can't speak to the definitive status of touchscreens on OLPC hardware
(although there isn't one on the latest incarnation, or if there is,
that's
a surprise to me). I _can_ say that touchscreen technology is both
expensive
and fragile, attributes which make it unattractive for a device with
OLPC's
goals...
