More cheap-electronics-for-parts! This is a good one, a touch screen you put on your PC for $39 – it’s meant for little kids to point and play games, but I bet you can use this as a touch screen for other things. [via Michael on the Dorkbot list] Link.
Touch screen for $39

Looks like onestepahead.com is having some trouble. This fun looking thing is also at http://www.leapsandboundscatalog.com/jump.jsp?itemID=413755&itemType=PRODUCT&iProductID=413755&cm_ven=Sortprice&cm_ite=LAB
This is sweet, I can’t wait till someone figures out how to hack this.
This thing blows, it’s as much a touch screen as I am an astronaut. It’s nothing more than a piece of plexiglass that covers 4 buttons (hidden under the plastic at the four corners). Total waste of money.
I second that chefjoeardee! we were ripped off!
I going to try to return the one I ordered ASAP.
