at least its capacitive, so its not too bad.
seems expensive to me tho - you either want a cheap tablet or a high end one, and that sits in the middle. i got my 7" tablet for $60 ($100 retail), and it could do what you're asking.
edit: lack of USB charging would kill it for me. thats a neccesity IMO when dealing with unknown brands like that, since replacing the charger would be a nightmare.
edit 2: the res aint bad actually. the ipad 1 was only 1024x768, so its comparable to that - and its actually widescreen for better movie watching. that shouldnt be a concern. (if it was higher res, games would lag on its comparatively weak hardware)
