[maemo-developers] Beagleboard touchscreens?

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

yes, i have built some of these, although the displays themselves
are pretty expensive as they are robust industry quality ones. 
It's a 7 inch 800x480 display which i equipped with the necessary
hdmi input and some touchscreen i got from ebay (those EUR 30 
things sold to upgrade your eee-pc).

So yes, these definitely work, but they are everything but cheap
and the current EUR/$ exchange rate will also do its thing.

You can find one in this picture from the danish weekend:

and of course here (still without touchscreen, i need to update
that page):
