I don't think we can sell the stationary terminal for under US $600.00 with touch screen and mounting hardware. Most reasonably rugged terminals sell for $1200.00+ Maybe if we can get enough orders we can get a volume price break from our component distributors. > Why not a standard touch screen?

USB is cheap for clients (palm pilots, PDAs, printers,etc) but the host side requires reasonably sophisticated controller--we are currently investigating it:-) > Basically a PC-terminal replacement - maybe a PDA > replacement too.
