Notes on a desirable interactive console

I want a fully interactive computer, size of a laptop monitor, touch-sensitive, no keyboard, wireless networking.

There's no affordable one yet, but i try to keep track of what exists.

(After assembling this table myself around 2000 with sporadic updates, i note that someone has put together a serious list, the iAppliance Web - Appliance Directory)
