Yes, it looks like a nice unit and after some shopping around it can
be had for just over $1000. If you want it predecessor, which is
certainly capable for HA use you can find it for about $600. I agree -
don't know how the manufacturers of dedicated touchscreen devices that
run Windows CE at best can charge what they do.
