Check out the 23" Android 'tablet' I made for $600

This is a little project I've been hacking on for a few weeks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8lHdgHQmvc

Google Earth is a bit laggy (it shows a lot of I/O errors in the console), but Fruit Ninja runs quite well. It is basically a consumer-grade optical touch panel hooked up to an ARM development board running Gingerbread.

Nice. Got links to the parts?

 

[Exterous]

Neat! Where did you get the touch panel from?

 

[Platypus]

Neat, what can you tell me about the board? Did you make your own device/vendor for the board or was that available already?

You'll have to write a "Visual Basic GUI" to do that.

Nice Acer T230H widescreen touch screen monitor OP, too bad you can't lug it around with you.

a decent size touch screen is under $300 on newegg. home built touch photo frame/android spot?

 

[Spikesoldier]

after watching the video, i thought you have taken android x86 to a regular pc. guess i was wrong.

cool project!

I can't see the YouTube link at the moment, but I assume this was done with an ARM-based development board? I've looked them up a few times in the past, and I know they're quite capable and have a fairly wide array of I/O capabilities.

EDIT:

Oh wait, apparently I can't read. You mentioned this in your post. At least in my failure, I guessed correctly!

 

[SSSnail]

You suck at fruit ninja! And you cheated!

 

[OBLAMA2009]

now all you need to do is have your mom invent jeans with huge pockets

 

[amdhunter]

Oh man! I saw this all over the web today. It's nice to see you are an AT'er!

 

[dfuze]

Wow, that looks cool. Great job, but how's the battery life

Same here. Spotted it on Gizmodo. Never would have guessed it was one of our members.

What are the specs for this bad boy?

 

[gevorg]

Nice man! Now make a Anroid coffee table out of it.

it's neat....but why didn't you just use a PC again? couldn't you build a tiny, tiny little system that would be infinitely more powerful?

 

[Phokus]

Oh that was you? I saw your project on reddit... you're famous!

 

[waggy]

very cool. but damn thats huge!

 

[SKORPI0]

very cool. but damn that's huge!

That's what she said.
