I think the performance of the touch screen is critical to the experience of using a tablet. This device has a resistive touch screen. I've used a number of different touch screens, and all of them were hateful, except for the Apple iPhone/iPod touch screen. That was the first screen that I didn't want to fling violently away after using it. I'd guess that I'd be flinging this one. On the other hand, if I read that a high-resolution capacitive touch screen was available, I'd be very inclined to give this a shot.
