The "official" 7" PI touchsrceen (800x480) sells for $60 at MicroCenter. Lady
Heather has a built in touch keyboard or you can use the PI's touch keyboard
routine. But touchscreen keyboards can be a pain to use for a lot of typing.
Heather lets you attach script files to the function keys.
The Smartipi Touch case is very nice. It sells for less than $20. They also
sell extended back covers where you can mount some boards, etc. My alarm clock
is built into one (uses a SIRF GPS module and a battery backup board):

The combination won't be as cheap as a low end Android, but will probably be a
lot more functional.

>Raspberry Pi has no display, no keyboard. If you add those, you far exceed
the cost of a 7" tablet and you still have a pile of stuff that barely fits
in a shoe box let alone in a decent looking enclosure and that you would
not want to leave on a table unattended.
