My old Loox (600) was 320x200, and I thought that was enough... Untill I got my current Loox (720), with the same screensize, but double the resolution. What a shocker! (but the Loox's are Windows devices, not Palm). Now, I doubt I want a lesser resolution on a screen of that size

I'm still not sure of that. Let's say it was availabe, if I would be able to get my hand on a 5, 6 or 7 inch transflective touchscreen LCD screen, I'd get it. No matter the OS. But I'd also love a larger screen, 10 to 12 inch. But I'd need Windows on that (XP or 7). I'd love to be able to take my National Geographics with me...

I was wondering back when it was first released when we'd see devices based on it that weren't smartphones, and now we have them in plenty.

On a basic reader, I wouldn't mind Android that much. But as stated above, if I had a larger screen, I'd use it mostly for my National Geographic collection. And that would require windows...
