Resistive screens are much more accurate and you don't need a special pen for them.

Yes, you
can use your finger on a resistive screen, but it's not an enjoyable experience. Resistive screens require you to
press, not just touch. Compare the sensitivity (not accuracy -- that doesn't matter when you're talking about touch targets the size of a fingertip) of your resistive-touch phone to any capacitive touch phone (iPhone, modern Android phones, etc) and then try to tell me that resistive is superior.
For a touch-centric device, the only reason you should not use a capacitive screen is if you're targeting the super low end and simply can't afford a capacitive touch screen. Anything else, especially if it's $300+, is just dumb.
I believe the Dell Streak is capacitive touch, but it's a bit small. I haven't seen any 7-10" Android tablets with capacitive touch yet.
