On: Connecting an iPad retina LCD to a PC

What's the cheapest most compact PC you could drive this level of display with? One could imagine packing them together to put together a open source, absurdly cheap (albeit bulky) iPad wannabe.

People have already beaten you to it, with accurate ID and everything: http://www.onda-tablet.com/onda-v818-mini-quad-core-7-9-inch... (they probably have one that copies the big iPad, too, with the same panel mentioned in the article...).

I don't understand, can the iPad3 panel be put into that or what?

It's not a touch panel.
