Touch Screen Display With Speakers?

Hi all,

I'm looking to put a tablet-like computer into the kitchen for the missus with a touch screen display so she can do a simple browse of the internet / read e-mail and also listen to the radio or watch iPlayer.

Can anyone recommend an appropriate solution? I was hoping to hack an O2 joggler which seems sufficient for the needs with Ubuntu added, but they're unavailable for cheap any more. As a guide, the Joggler would have done this for £60.

Thanks to any suggestions!

    Budget is up to £100 for this.

    Thanks forgotmyname, but £80 for a used Joggler is a bit much I think - considering the age of the hardware. I'm wondering if there's a similar device that is more powerful but with the same feature set. I can get imported apad's etc for around the £80 mark which have better chips than the joggler, but no sound!
