Raspberry Pi gets an official 7-inch touchscreen The cheap micro-computer now has a touchscreen to build a basic tablet or control your Pi-powered creations.

[Optismon] has long held an interest in capacitive touch screen sensors, and has recently turned his attention to the official Raspberry Pi 7-inch touchscreen display.

Now there’s an official accessory that turns the Raspberry Pi into a sort of standalone device though: Raspberry Pi now offers an official touch display for $60.

It's taken almost a year, but the official Raspberry Pi touch display has gone on sale today, offering tinkerers a 7-inch capacitive 800 x 480 touchscreen display that supports 10-finger touch.

The first official touch display for the Raspberry Pi has been released. The display is 7 inches, and has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
