Touchscreen 17” Powerbook!

By Barb Dybwad

Thanks to the folks at Troll Touch, you can
deck out your 17" Titanium (12" and 15" models, plus 14" iBooks, soon to follow) with a touchscreen. The device fits over your Powerbook screen when in operation and connects via USB. Use Troll Touch software to calibrate the SlipCOVER screen, and away you go.

SlipCOVERs for 12" iBooks are already available. More information on the whole product line available from the
Troll Touch web site.

I love the idea. No word on pricing, though, from looking at the web site – could be too rich for my blood. What I
would really crave even more than a touchscreen is to turn my Powerbook screen into a scanner. Just hold a document or photo up to to the screen and voila. I heard some buzz that a device like this may be under development – anybody seen this?
