Next week I have to go out. In my destination I will have the chance to test some touchscreens among other usb devices (touchpad, trackball, etc). If touchscreen test success I will inmediately order this device. If everything goes rigth next week weekend I could be recording video II.

Great!
Did you think about using BT adapter instead of CF adapter?
Like that:

Will it work?

I focused the problem over touchscreen USB connection. I have not found any adaptor from "human interface device USB client" to BT.
If you just want to connect mouse & keyboard, probably BT is better option.
Do not forget al BT devices are also expensive.

Interesting. Twin Paradox's USB host has only been pushed back to April 11 this time. It looks like they may actually produce it! Oh, and the picture on their front page is not the latest picture. The latest is in the online store. I like the new look, it doesn't have that USB plug sticking out of the card. They have had this product in development for some time now. I wonder if Ratoc's shipping price will drop once TP starts to sell, considering they will finally have competition?

They should, they should.
Ratoc price is expensive, it is near half current PDA price.
I red TP is $89.99, it is more reasonable and becomes a temptation. Who does not have an usb mouse and keyboard?, also, if you have and old unused HD for just $15 you can fit it in a portable usb box. TP cames also with printer driver. And so on for several more usb devices...

Nice job!! Combine that with the front-page news (SSD) and who knows what we may be able to do in the future.

Have you tried this in true VGA mode? It would be amazing!

I have used it several times to read doc and pdf documents using ClearVue suite applicaions whitch directly drives the mirror mode at 1024x768. It is amazing!.
Is it what you meant?

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If enabling mirror mode from inside apps like ClearVue when it is already enabled in System-Configuration, it usually hangs.

No sure about how mirror mode works, as I haven't been able to test it. I was talking about setting your screen to true VGA mode (480x640) using OzVGA or a similar tool. Check this thread:

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. They just push the date every once in a while to keep people looking at their pages
