Please log in for more thread options Don't know if I'm one of the few having hard time with the value of the $1200 ELK touch screen.. I can afford it, but it really comes down to the value for the dollar in my book. I came across this relatively new Samsung touch screen tablet PC. It's only 1" deep and has great specs, including wireless given the size. It is (only!) $1100 but, it's a real computer and can run the remote management software nicely. Check it out, would love to hear your thoughts.. especialy from anyone that think the ELK touchscreen is a better option for the money. http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=itbusiness&type=notebookcomputers&subtype=qseries&model_cd=NP-Q1U/000/SUK | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I'd say dedicated touchscreen interface manufacturers are crying about now. I've had my eye on this Samsung as a dedicated platform for all my home automation software and remote controls. I'd love to do some software development on it too. | |||||||||||||

If you want it predecessor, which is certainly capable for HA use you can find it for about $600. I agree - don't know how the manufacturers of dedicated touchscreen devices that run Windows CE at best can charge what they do. | |||||||||||||

The earlier model was just called the Q1 (as opposed to Q1 ultra) It looks a bit different and does not hafe the split "keyboard" on the sides. | |||||||||||||
