what are touch tablets and how to program for that

[sachinbais]

Hi
I have to develop the application for POS/retailer shops where consumer can browse thru the list of products on the touch table deveice. But i m new to this technology and really dont know much. I tried to look into net but i didnt get anything useful except Unipower's PSA (my requirement is similar to PSA), but it doesnt describe the technology.
Can somebody please help me?

Thanks, I had been to this site earlier.
But i dont think we need to use tablet PCs for such applications for they will be costly for bulk purchase.
I have seen companies like Unipower solutions which has developed PSA is using the touch tablets. but they have developed their own device...how? i dont know.
If somebody has idea in this area, i will appreciate the response..

I'm not sure what those PSA cost but I don't think they are much cheaper than a Tablet PC. HP/Compaq makes one for $1699.00. There is nothing else to buy. Just a plain touch screen monitor is $700-$800 and up without a PC. You can then run any Windows program on a Tablet PC. So you don't have to develope anything. Plus it’s portable.
