Digitimes is reporting that ASUS is pricing out what it would take to build an Eee PC with a 9″, resistive*touch display (http://www.digitimes.com/systems/a20080117PD214.html).
The article suggests that touch would add about $15 to the cost of materials. My guess is that it would be lower, but I don’t really know.
Cost aside, what I’d really like to see is a 9″ display with capacitive touch equipped with drivers that support gestures and multi-touch. Then we’d be talking. I imagine the price would be too high, for this up and coming technology.
