Gumstix is a company that makes computers the size of, guess what, a stick of gum. They currently have a kit that comes with a 4.3" LCD. The kit includes:

600 Mhz CPU
128MB RAM
USB Host
4.3" LCD touchscreen
Micro SD card slot
3 RS-232 ports
10/100 Ethernet

They don't yet offer a touchscreen, but it does have 3 serial ports available. It shouldn't be hard to add a few buttons, or possibly even a small keyboard.

Edit: Yes it is a touchscreen!
