Hi All,
Wanted to qualify another piece of hardware for a remote control. As I operate the website http://webdt.org I have some industrial web tablets sitting around. These were used by Crestron, Request and Ambia in the late 90's as home automation controllers.
I modified mine by putting a 4gb transcend 44 pin horizontal disk on module in to replace the standard 500mb SSD. These tablets have no moving parts and boast a 4 foot drop rating. This mod does require some hacking and I have detailed instructions in my forum under the "366 hardware" section.
Anyways I put in XP tablet edition on the 4gb transcend disk and had to bring in Dot Net 3.5 to support Yatse, or Yet Another Touch Screen Experiment. Set up Yatse and wow does this work well. Yatse has provisions to make the artwork and pictures it uses work well on even an 800x600 resolution.
Here is a youtube video link showing this set up in action.

Feel free to visit webdt.org for more information. A how to can be found in both the 366 hardware section as well as the "windows on a webdt366" section.
