An official touchscreen monitor for the Raspberry Pi computer-on-a-board
has gone on sale.

The seven-inch touchscreen allows Pi owners to turn their board into a
touchscreen tablet or a home automation device with touchscreen control.
It features an RGB 800x480 display, supports ten-finger touch, and
allows an onscreen keyboard to be added into the Raspbian OS, which will
allow it to be used without a physical keyboard or mouse. It costs £48
($60).

The displays from UK-based Inelco Hunter are supplied as a kit that
requires some self-assembly, but future batches will come
ready-assembled.

The screen is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and Raspberry
Pi Model B+ and A+.
