Is there a netbook ( 8" laptop ) with touch screen similar to iphone? In developement?

somebody must have, or be preparing something like this.. maybe even apple.... the ipod touch is almost perfect... it just needs a keyboard and slightly larger screen .... keep the touch screen... I was worried about marking it up with my greasy fingers, but it cleans easily and stays looking good! 2009? 2010? any time soon? thank you very much for you help in this matter!!!

There is the Raon Everun Note, and the Gigabyte M912.

They are touchscreen (but necessarily "multi-touch" like the iPod.)

There are also quite a number of rumors about an Apple touchscreen netbook being released soon. (At next month's MacWorld?)

It looks like Intel is making one in their Classmate line. More info probably at CES 2009 coming up in Las Vegas.

One Laptop per Child is looking to release a smaller 2.0 version in 2010, in which dual touch screens will replace the keypad.
