Are you looking for a standalone screen, or are you looking for a small form factor PC attached to a regular touchscreen?
I would (personally) go with the later. I have 20 years of experience with touchscreens, but today's hardware is cheap, easy to use and maintain, and easier to develop for. Most touchscreens today just function as a mouse, and are handled at the os level. They are either bought with the screen, or are add on kits you can handle yourselves. (You no longer need to inject silicon between the glass panes, which was a _pain_. Especially with the 12" needle used to extract air bubbles. And you no longer have to write your own device drivers, which is _lovely_.) The main considerations for a standalone kiosk/touchscreen are diagnostics and remote update and control, and making sure the interface is adapted for touch interface (read large well-spaced buttons). We built many kiosks using old-school cbt software, and later Director, but Flash and Firefox (in kiosk mode) handle it wonderfully now right out of the box. What is the environment? Budget? User needs? Is it the only interface, or an additional interface (keyboards, mice, movement or weight sensors)? What about feedback? Screen only, or do you need sound as well?
