Plain old standard touch screen monitors based on that 7" touch screen format cost more than $100, without any smarts in them at all. So I don't think you'll see them at $100 any time soon. But if they get down to $600 to $700, I think that they'll do pretty well. I think that, being based on a reference design and having a number of companies making them will help insure that they don't become just an afterthought. I think that it was smart to make sure that they were basically ready to go before really debuting the concept publically. If they'd just said, here's a great idea and we are going to get a lot of people ot make them, I'd not have much hope. But given that they are already available a month after the announcement is a good sign to me (again, as long as they really work.)
