I am looking for a very good list (or set of lists) of practical
business applications for tocuh screens.  I am developing
database-based products for simple applications, and want to find
markets to research, in which case we'd need ideas of markets and
their uses.  Examples would include a simple database to track
maintenance of fleet vehicles,  a guest book sign in program
with touch screen keyboard, or a nursing home maintenance program for
tracking patients activities (movie attended, etc).  The previous
three have been met with great success, but we're looking for
specifics on more industries with simple application requirements that
we could pursue.  Sites listing ideas as well as further details/info
preferred.  Price increase on question available if required.

Have you concidered looking at the web sites and profiles/testimonies
of companies using touchscreen technologies.

I worked for the Itronix Corporation and know their web sit has many
testimonies and examples of laptops with touchscreen options being put
to work. Also Panasonic is the world leader of ruggedized Laptops and
their website also will help you see who and where customers are
employing the technology. do the research on the touchscreen suppliers
and figure out who they are selling to.

Try looking at Touchscreen maufactures websites for testimonies.

May the Lord lead, and you be wise enough to follow.

You might also look at http://www.jltmobilecomputers.com/ there
systems only come as touch screen.  They outline some of the
industries they serve.  Hope this helps.  You can contact Marketing &
Public Relations;  shoba@jltmobilecomputers.com for a media packet,
