	Touchscreen - Gizmodo
		LG's in the midst of revamping their touchscreen UI, possibly because their previous touchscreen phones weren't all that great, but possibly because...ok that's probably the reason.
		Not only is the Korean company looking internally at their own designers to fix the problem, but they've offered a 14 million Korean Won prize ($14,364) to the community for someone to come up with a UI theme that's good enough for engineers to work with.
		Still, Lin went on to say the expected starting price for an 8.9-inch touchscreen toting Eee will be around $500, and he also added that the Eee Desktop PC will begin retailing at the $199 mark.

	Touchscreen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Touchscreens are popular in heavy industry and in other situations, such as museum displays or room automation, where keyboards and mice do not allow a satisfactory, intuitive, rapid, or accurate interaction by the user with the display's content.
		Historically, the touchscreen sensor and its accompanying controller-based firmware have been made available by a wide array of after-market system integrators and not by display, chip or motherboard manufacturers.
		Touchscreen component manufacturing and product design are no longer encumbered by royalties or legalities with regard to patents and the manufacturing of touchscreen-enabled displays on all kinds of devices is widespread.

	Install a touchscreen for Linux
		Touchscreens are display overlays that allow a display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content.
		You may need to configure the touchscreen with the touchcfg configuration utility (or whatever utility is appropriate for your touchscreen).
		Touchscreens Hardware Checkpoint 1.3, from the IBM Accessibility Center, offers an alternative input method for touchscreens or touch-operated controls.

	Doubts over touchscreen tech choice for Venezuela recall - CAG News
		Critics fear touchscreen voting machines in the Aug. 15 vote could fail spectacularly, exacerbating a crisis over Chavez's rule that has polarized the world's No. 5 oil exporter and killed dozens in sporadic political violence.
		The touchscreen machines on which a third of the U.S. electorate will vote in November are dangerously vulnerable to hackers, rigging and mechanical failure, computer scientists generally agree.
		In the United States, touchscreen computers are partly an attempt to eliminate hanging chads and other problems associated with the disputed U.S. presidential election results in Florida in 2000.

	Use of audio-haptic interface techniques to allow nonvisual access to touchscreen appliances
		A set of audio and haptic techniques have been combined to extend the usability of touchscreen kiosks and hand-held devices to users with visual or reading limitations as well as to individuals in environments or activities which preclude the use of vision.
		This includes the use of touchscreen kiosks by individuals who have low vision or blindness, by individuals who are illiterate or have difficulty reading the particular language presented on the device, and by individuals whose vision is otherwise occupied, such as individuals attempting to use a touchscreen phone or information appliance while driving their car.
		First, it appears that access to touchscreen kiosks as well as personal data devices and household appliances is possible for people with visual impairments or blindness, including the large percentage of that population who do not know braille.

	SMR Reviews - Madrigal IRIQ Touchscreen Remote Control by Nigel R. Pond.
		Touchscreen and advanced remote controls were once restricted to the domain of high-end home theatres, but all that changed with the popularity of the Marantz RC2000.
		Products from Madrigal (the IRIQ) and Philips (the Pronto) bring the touchscreen, usually a feature of higher end systems, within the reach of most of us, (there are also almost identical offerings from their respective sister companies Harman Kardon – the Take Control – and Marantz – the RC5000).
		By definition a touchscreen does not have real buttons so unless one’s spatial awareness and brain-to-hand coordination is perfect, one has to look at the screen to operate the "virtual buttons" – back-lighting helps with operation in the dark, but it does mean a change in one’s couch potato habits!

	Florida touchscreen voting: So far, so good - Politics - MSNBC.com
		In Miami, Joseph Steiner walks past a touchscreen voting machine as he attends a voter education program in May. Local election officials hope to avoid a repeat of the 2000 presidential election with a federal project to educate the public about voting machines before the November election.
		Concerns have centered on the ATM-style touchscreen voting machines that are used in 15 counties and which critics argue are vulnerable to tampering and glitches.
		The touchscreen machines are the state’s solution to the much-maligned and no-longer-used punchcard ballots, which were responsible for delaying the outcome of the 2000 race between George Bush and Al Gore for more than a month.

	CBS News \| Fla. Touchscreen Vote Records Lost \| July 29, 2004 20:38:38
		Earlier this month, a newspaper study indicated touchscreen machines did not perform as well as those that scanned paper ballots.
		Election supervisors from some of the 15 counties using touchscreens had asked the state if they would need to go through the laborious process of printing screen images of each ballot during a recount.
		Florida counties without the touchscreen machines use optiscan technology, in which computers read voters' pencil marks on paper ballots, and would be able to do physical recounts in tight races.
