Check out this link for an interesting device: http://www.cowonamer...ucts/cowon/q5w/

It's labeled as a PMP, but it runs on top of Windows CE, has a 5" touchscreen with 800 x 480 resolution, built-in wi-fi and bluetooth, and flash 7 built into the web browser. Seems like it could serve a whole bunch of purposes including running ElkRM (windows and resolution), running the upcoming HSTouch (flash 7!), among any number of other things...

does anyone have any experience with one of these?

How about this smaller version: http://www.windowsfo...5616302369.html

2.9" touchscreen display, 4GB storage, microSD expansion slot, WiFi, web browser

Expected to sell in Korea for $156 (equiv USD)

I suppose with a sub 3-inch touchscreen it might be difficult to control one's M1XEP though.

Jetmall.net has it for sale. 40gb unit runs $369.99.

Too bad it runs Windows CE. If it was XPe or something like that I would be all over this. I'd use it for a wireless touchscreen to control my CQC system. I currently use some Nokia N800 and N770's for this purpose. But they have to RDP into another CQC machine which just adds a layer of complexity. With Windows CE I'd still have to RDP the same way.
