Anyone found a production touch screen wall plate?

Looking at these and thinking of backing but would be interested if there is anything already.

I'm using samsung t-110 7" tablets. It works perfectly and is relatively cheap (90£ a piece).

The Hio project doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Automation apps are usually very small foot print, and it doesn't make sense to spend money on making it more powerful than necessary. My "app" is running on a RPi as a server and works flawlessly:

You can get even cheaper tablets at half the price of the samsung, but quality is really dodgy. The 7" is a really nice size for my application, and not only my girlfriend, but even the mother in law likes the way it works. So I don't see the need to make it more complex than necessary by creating a device like the Hio, especially as it looks really bulky. It'd much rather spend the time and cash on building them into the walls.
