[senit] Touchscreen portable

The wireless screen was from Panasonic - part of their Toughbook range.
They don't seem to sell it in this country any more but I believe it is
used extensively in Canada by motorcycle police officers.  Model number
is CF-07

I got the one for RSDCD from a supplier I found on e-bay who deals in
toughbooks I can't remember which - there are many on there. 

The Panasonic wireless screen is rechargeable and (should) connect
wirelessly to any PC/Laptop. I forget what the range is.  However the
resolution is quite low and you would need to know the user had enough
dexterity to operate a communication grid on the 7 inch screen.

As a whacky alternative, Fil McIntyre from Inclusive briefly
demonstrated a wireless touch screen monitor as part of his shared
presentation at CM...
i.e. you could keep the desktop/laptop running somewhere safe in the
classroom and just use the wirless monitor...

 Can't find details of it online, perhaps Fil/Inclusive could point at a
supplier? Be great to try it in an AAC device... (-;

Cheers.

 Dear all

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions of currently available laptops
which offer "touch screen" functionality?

Many thanks
