And how much power does your (touch) screen draw? I would be really
interested to see such a setup, and I must say I find the concept
intreaging. Maybe you can fit, say, a 10" screen in your pannel. That
would
allready be a huge improvement over a PDA screen, and I must say that the
additional CPU power of an x86-based system would give some *very* nice
options indeed...

Some of these screens draw about 650ma @ 12V with the brightness all the way
up. I don't know if this is a good number or if there are better screens.
A narrow viewing angle would reduce the demands on the backlight.

What are your thoughts on Real-Time Linux for this application?
