The screen size used in the Touch is a very popular size, they are available from a number of manufacturers at quite low prices. The difference between the LCD by itself and with the touch screen is not very much. Traditionally the biggest expense in adding a touch screen to a fairly small size screen has not been the screen itself but the controller it talks to. But for the Touch the touchscreen controller is built into the processor so no extra electronics are necessary. It would actually cost far more money to make one without the touch part due to having two units to keep track of, inventory etc. John S. -- JohnSwenson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74694 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
