I would, but you have about summed it up :)

The screen is nice and crisp, and the machine is quite usable under Android
now that 2.1 has been released for it. The touchscreen is resistive, not
multitouch, and doesn't feel quite as responsive as the capacitive screens
used on other devices.

I'm now hanging out for the Viliv X10 - 10" Android tablet with a 1366x768
screen.
