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)

I'm not sure why you would want to replace Jepson's innovative screen with a touch screen, you'd certainly lose some power consumption advantage. You can find directions to map mouse/keyboard functions to the buttons available on an XO when in e-book mode, which is a step towards what I imageine you are looking for. To modify an asus-eee-pc to add a touch-screen, see here. Cjl 18:13, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
