Webpad/tablet?
I'm looking for a simple and cheap webpad-type device. That is,
something which is touchscreen-only, no keyboard, with a screen of at
least 7", 800x600, 16-bit color. This will essentially be a thin
client, just running a browser and nothing else, so the CPU and memory
requirements are modest -- one of the 200MHz embedded CPUs is probably
adequate. And of course, it should run Linux. Any ideas?

I picked up a Fujitsu Stylistic 3500 tablet last year for £50 - bargain!
500 Celeron, 256 RAM, 15GB HD, came with XP Tablet Edition, I put RedHat
9 on it. Just the job.
