Trust the item title and description over the small details. Hong Kong sellers tend to leave small details the same between items, probably due to their English skills being somewhat lacking. It seems to plug into the webcam port, which means without adding a hub, you'll loose the ability to use the webcam.

@almaluis,
Nice find, we've been waiting for a touch screen for the 900/901. I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling from this seller. 1st he says it is for a 7" display then he says it's for a surf. It's not a 7" display and there is no 900/901 surf so if you use this kit as sold you will lose your nice new 1.3mp webcam, Also his feeback rating is a little low at 96.0% and he won't cover damage in shipment. Of course you can always cut off the webcam connector and hook it up to the spare USB lines in the Flash_Con or Wi-Fi connectors, but it doesn't look like this seller can offer any technical support it's not even clear that he knows what he's selling.
  I think I will wait for Fifo-Dido999 to come out with a shortened Xandros compatible kit before I jump.

  I read that jkk was putting a touch screen on his 900 and going to publish it on his site. I hope so. I think most of the modders have dropped off the face of the earth. Or at least moved to different netbooks. I've been following a thread for about a month of a guy looking for the 5V hookup points on the 900 and he has not been able to get a response. If I wasn't trying to sell my white 900 I would open it up for him but I am going to wait for the black 900 or 901 instead. Who knows, I may end up jumping ship and go for the Gigabyte M912X if it turns out as good as it looks. It comes with a higher res touch screen, and plenty of storage in a package almost the same size as the 900.

But now every post up to your is outdated, why didnt you just make a new post about this?

Maybeee you are right, but I don't like to spam the forum... and actually I think that a few "bans" for ppl who just do a post "just for fun" with 100 times answered questions, should be done by the moderators...,

anyway... the important is the coming TS for ours precious... lol

I'm going definitely to have this one.

But which one is it? Jkk got it from "an industrial supplier".

I'd love to review Fido too....   PM if reading this Fido?

Any news/luck about the 8,9'' tuch screen?

I dont know if you have seen it, but JKK from jkkmobile.com has managed to fit a touchscreen into his 900, and has documented it via video.
Unfrotunetly he got his from an industril surplier, so we wont be able to get our screen from the same guy unless we order several hundred of them, i dont know how JKK managd to coax 1 out of the surplier but hes one lucky ****
I am deffinetly getting a touch panel for my 900.
