I maintain a (C++) CE app that uses a touch screen.
Couple of issues - don't use pop up menus on mouse right clicks (these are
simulated on CE by alt-tap).
Keep the buttons big & give instant feeback (the user does not get tactile
feedback so you have to give audio & visual feeback that the button has been
depressed).
If the user needs to enter any data like their name then you might want to
think about an on-screen keyboard or a letter entry system like a
playstation game might have.
Keep the UI simple - people are putting there grubby hands all over the
screen so keep the graphics & text 'thick & chunky'.
