That's a pretty good price, but it's something of an engineering project since it needs a power supply, packaging, etc.etc. And if you want UL or CE you have to do it yourself. I've just noticed this: http://www.advantech.com/products/35%2DQVGA%2DTFT%2DLCD%2DXScale%2DPXA270%2DTouch%2DPanel%2DComputer/mod_1-2IZ84H.aspx which is about the lowest cost (~$300) I've seen for touch and published OS. I think that's hard to beat. There are a number of these solutions that run CE, but which are (relatively) expensive ($700-800), and a number of very interesting, very low cost systems that run proprietary OS's. Getting Angstrom, or some similar embedded graphics on one of the really low cost ones would be interesting, but might be a challenge, just wonder if anyone's been there.
