inexpensive standalone monochrome LCD touchscreen 3x5" note cards?

[[email protected]]

Does anyone know if someone manufactures something like this, or
manufactures an inexpensive (monochrome ok) touchscreen LCD display
(3x5" = okay) ? I am curious how expensive/difficult it would be to
build touchscreen notecards - just a "dumb" screen that you draw/write
on with a stylus and it holds the image in memory (kind of like an
etch-a-sketch). It would probably have 2 or 3 buttons - one to erase
it, one for "erase mode" - when you hold that down, pen input erases
instead of draws, possibly a 3rd button to "open image from sd". It
would have an SD slot to xfer images off of it (or possibly a mini-USB
plug to sync to computer). When you plug in a SD card you'd see a
sorted list of filenames on the SD card with a scrollbar. Scroll down
to the image you want and click on it to edit in the device. Basically
it would be a dedicated dumb digital input device, powered by a
lithium battery like in a motherboard, or small watch battery (like in
a laser pointer) or maybe a solar cell. The initial idea for these was
to use as 3x5" note cards for project planning (ie scrum development)
so the target price would be as cheap as possible so you could have a
bunch of them (50-100) at meetings. I'd be curious to hear people's
knowledge of any such products/components that could be used for
this...Thanks

older Palm have mono LCD and touch capability. I've seen software
that turned the Palm into external LCD monitor, making it external
touch screen device that are slaved to a PC is possible. Palm m100
and 105 are found cheap on eBay but it doesn't offer back light if
that matters.

That's pretty cool - do you have any links for instructions on how to
do that?

Did the software or hack also turn the touchscreen into an input
device for the PC?

Has anyone seen anything like this - software or hack or mod - that
lets you connect a Pocket PC or older Win CE device to a Windows
machine to use as a combo external monitor / touchscreen input
device? It would be pretty cool to be able to use your old PDA (or
touchscreen cell phone) as a touchscreen game controller like with the
Nintendo DS ...

Can't you do XP with even _less_ than index cards? Such as a list of
features on a whiteboard with a ___ before each one for a check mark?

We have all seen how over-engineering something leads to abusing it...

We do nearly pure XP at work and I haven't seen a card in a couple days...
