The "official" 7" PI touchsrceen (800x480) sells for $60 at MicroCenter.   Lady Heather has a built in touch keyboard or you can use the PI's touch keyboard routine.   But touchscreen keyboards can be a pain to use for a lot of typing.  Heather lets you attach script files to the function keys.

The Smartipi Touch case is very nice.  It sells for less than $20.  They also sell extended back covers where you can mount some boards, etc.  My alarm clock is  built into one (uses a SIRF GPS module and a battery backup board):

The combination won't be as cheap as a low end Android,  but will probably be a lot more functional.

>Raspberry Pi has no display, no keyboard. If you add those, you far exceed
the cost of a 7" tablet and you still have a pile of stuff that barely fits
in a shoe box let alone in a decent looking enclosure and that you would
not want to leave on a table unattended.
