Which touchscreen do you like best?

Size wise I think the 10.5" TS is a bit too big. The 7" TS is about the right size. The 7" TS is also newer hardware. The 7" will run the new OS 2.0 flash interface. I don't think the 10.5" TS will run the new flash interface and will run the older COP GUI.

I would go with the 7" TS.

I like the 7" touchscreen. I don't like some of the wifi funkyness it seems to have. I have the latest C4 software version installed and it got better, but not great. I also have a Luxul in the house so I know it is not signal strength.

I love the portable touch screen but my wired gets much more use and it is in the wall.

Don't do the 10.5. Older device = shorter life cycle.

Quick question about the 7" touch screens. How much are these ts set into the wall? I see from C4's website that the depth is 3.4" but it was my understanding that it does not sit flush on the wall. Anyone know how much clearance I need behind the wall to properly mount this thing?

Thanks

I don't have a back box in front of me to give and exact minimum wall depth, but it does fit in a standard 2x4 wall cavity. What is the depth of the wall you are planning to install it in?

Edit

Here is that the install sheet for the back box says

NOTE: The wall box should be installed flush with the wall,

so you do not need to subtract the depth of the sheetrock

from the depth required for the wall box.

NOTE: Wall box dimensions: (H x W x D): 5” x 7.4” x 3.3

I only have 2" of depth including the sheetrock in spot I was hoping to mount the touchscreen. Thanks for your reply. Time to find a new spot.

I have heard a lot of rave reviews for the iphone app. An ipod touch would work nicely instead of the ts. I think that is the route I am going to go......maybe even an Apple tablet in the near future.

I'm holding out for the Android app before I buy any more touchscreens.

I don't own any iPod touches anymore, and I am not interested in getting one just for this purpose.

Nice...Who's we? Also, care to tease us with any screenshots?

Did you have access to the SDK for this?

Im a gold dealer and two of my partners are software writers for banks...so we decided to take it a little easier for a change and just write what we wanted...a few months later we came up with a few new version...they will be available on the control app store when it goes live...ill see if I they think putting up pics is a good idea as we have a few others guys out there looking to do the same... all three of us have been running our home from each phone with no issues...oh and something else is real special but I Cant spill the beans yet!

Competition will be good as I believe ControlUI will be announcing the Blackberry and Android versions of their apps this week at CES.

I am traveling this week and this is the first chance i have had to log on. I was expecting to see the "New from CES" thread and didn't. Is there one somewhere?

I'll start it, information is already being compiled on the blog.
