I got it. I like it, though I found Android rather disappointing, to be honest. However, for a variety of reasons I also ordered a Ectaco Jetbook mini which I should get by tomorrow. And, as I wrote in the original post, I also I purchased an Ematic 7-Inch TFT Color eBook Reader for my daughter. I want to wait for the Jetbook mini (which I should get before the end of the week) to make a comparison of the PB IQ 701, the JB mini, the Ematic eBook Reader and my good old Nokia N800 Internet tablet. Each in their own way are pretty good, I think.
But Android? That is a big disappointment to me. I was expecting GNU/Linux on "Google steroids" and instead what I got is an wannabe iOS. And now that Nokia is dumping Meego for, of all things, Windoze, I am rather discouraged. Maemo OS2008 was such a nice OS, and it looks like the corporate world simply never saw it this way
