    Small format touchscreens

    Does anyone know of the existence of any small format touchscreens for wall mounting? I have several large format touchscreens throughout the house - but I would like to place smaller ones in rooms where larger screens are not practical. I would use it generally for lighting and audio control. Many automation companies offer touchscreens in this format so there must be someone manufacturing these? I am using MainLobby for my large screens, homeseer is the brains behind my system so the homeseer touch program would probably be better suited to these smaller screens.

    Ideally it would be an all in one maybe 7-8" screen. I have in place today Liliput automotive style touch screens connected to small footprinter Atom based computers. Way too big of a footprint.

    Lately playing around with the Joggler which is an Atom based "do all" which runs XP, Linux and Android (now ICS). Its a small capacitance all in one table top. I am currently testing it via PoE and its doing well. I have one totally taken apart now on my desk being held together with painters masking tape. There is nothing out there right now similiar that will run Linux, Android and XP.

    Here are the specifications of the Joggler.


    512MB RAM (NOT user upgradable - not easily anyway)
    1GB internal filesystems (soldered, non removable)
    1MB EFI bootloader and nonvolatile parameters (socketed)

    Wired Gigabit Ethernet. Realtek RTL8111C
    WiFi B/G/N based on the Ralink RT2870 chipset (connected to the internal USB port).

    USB (High Speed USB 2.0 Ports):
    1 x external.
    1 x internal (+2 with soldering).
    Power: 5v DC
    Screen: 7in Sharp LQ070Y3LG4A 800x480 LCD, 16m colour (24-bit), LED backlit, capacitative touch-screen
    Size: 180 x 130 x 115mm

    You can go with a CE based in wall touchscreen like what HS offers. There are offerings of small in wall HA automation touchscreens. They are expensive though.

    Attached is an XPSP3 hybrid screen shot via VNC. I'll put one up with Android and Linux running on it. It does well and runs HSTouch just fine with Linux and Android too.
