MOD: Dell Mini 9 with Capacitive Touch Screen
Once again, some talented guy (gowtham) at mydellmini forum was able to mod his Dell mini 9 with a capacitive touch screen. Last time, when we mentioned the MOD, the hack was done with a resistive touch screen. The capacitive screen, which he got for $50 is working very fine under Ubuntu. The dude kept the hinges intact as he wanted to use them as stand.
So far, he has been working diligently in order to get his screen working under the Moblin OS.
We have seen people putting accelerometers and resistive touch screens into the small frame of Dell Mini 9 and now we have capacitive screen MOD which shows that it can give the upcoming iTablet very tough competition, especially when you takes its overall price into consideration: <$300. Can you beat that Apple? Of course, YOU (Apple) Cannot!
