No the jetbook does not have a touchscreen, I am looking for one like they install on the netbooks that has a serial controller. I am just having a hard time trying to find one.

This will allow me to run all the apps that are available for Android 2.1 !

If I have to I will write a button driver so that a touchscreen is not needed.

Instead of trying to do that on the jetbook. I will tack a series of buttons to a Beagleboard that has:

* Over 1,200 Dhrystone MIPS using the superscalar ARM Cortex-A8 with highly accurate branch prediction and 256KB L2 cache running at at 600MHz
* OpenGL© ES 2.0 capable 2D/3D graphics accelerator capable of rendering 10 million polygons per second
* HD video capable TMS320C64x+ DSP for versatile signal processing at up to 430MHz

Expansion capability and power options to satisfy your imagination:

* DVI-D for connecting digital computer monitors
* Compatibility with a huge collection of USB peripherals including hubs, keyboards, mice, WiFi, Bluetooth, web cameras, and much more
* MMC+/SD/SDIO interface for memory or wireless connectivity
* S-Video out for connecting your NTSC or PAL television or wearable visor
* Stereo audio in and out for a microphone and headphones or speakers

I already have Android running on this and by mimicking the jetbook keys I can debug the driver.

This would allow a functional version of Android to run along with:

FBreader
Mobireader
PDF reader
TXT reader

As well as more than 200 Free Android apps to run on the jetbook. There is even a webbrowser and email client already running on Android.

I have even contemplated taking the Beagle Board and hooking up two 5 inch REFLECTIVE color panels that hinge and fold to make a unit that folded would be the size of the jetbook and yet when opened would make a 10 inch screen that was 640 x 960 resolution.

But I want to get a version of Android that other people can tinker with here without modifying their jetbook.

A lot of work yet, but when I compiled the system and got the sign in screen on the jetbook it made my day.
