"Easy and Fun" Touch-Screen Kit for Netbooks

Give the hard-core techie in your life a tactile jolt with the $95 "Easy and Fun TouchKit" from Hoda Technologies. This modification adds resistive touch-screen abilities to those ultracompact, ultracheap netbook computers that are all the rage right now. Though no soldering is required, installing the kit does involve some dismantling of the netbook (which most likely will void its warranty); Hoda provides full instructions on how to proceed.

The kit currently claims compatibility with most 8.9- and 10.2-inch netbooks, including the Acer Aspire One, the MSI Wind U100 and various Asus Eee PC models. Support for the Dell Mini 9, the Lenovo Ideapad S10, and other netbooks is reportedly coming soon. Available for purchase online through Fidohub.com or eBay.
