Right now I'm looking for plastic film solutions, that let you use the same built-in screen while having touch screen functionality. The reason is that I want to write educational/fun software for my kids, and they don't understand mouse or keyboard yet. Touch is more direct and removes the "interface" factor. What you touch is what you mean. --Cosimo |

Just wanted to know if anyone is looking into replacing OLPC display with a touch screen panel, or maybe adding a touch screen plastic film to the existing display. I'm having a hard time finding some company that manufactures 7,5" touch screen panels. If you know something, please contact me. --(cosimo (at) cpan (dot) org)
