I agree totally after having tried 3 devices in Staples (here in UK) where they have an old one like this with slow CPU and this horribl, "milky" display (compared to the newer,cristal clear looking ones) and, which is not "multitouch"(started a "display thread" in here after this experience)
I
do not agree on "what do you expect for this price" because you know we in the so called "1st world" are the milk-cows when it comes to "paying"...especially "Mac Users" (..the kindle is a really top,innovative product and with it's 100 quid on a quite low price compared to the overprice, overhyped Apple Devices, but hey, "marketing" that's called) and most devices are produced for 5 to 10 percent of the sales price.
Anyway, back on topic
this device here is availble somewhere on eBay for 50 quid, which would be ok, as said, display looks crap, slow response, the android "experience" with using your more fingers doesnt work.
(Staples tries to sell it for 139 quid by the way
)

One point to the OS is that when youy install an app, you are inforned about all the resources that tha app will access....

Very good point(s) you mention here...it seems that after years of moaning about "big brother policy" with microsofts OS's there comes a better marketed product of the REAL "Big Brother", who watches everyones (Searches) by profession, "Brother-G00gle", and suceeds without any resistance of the "target group", to collect any data they want..well, at least it'S open source
and it will be watched carefully.
But strange phaenomen after all the windows-spying fuzz, isn't it?
Said that, coming back to handheld devices, it makes me wish to have more platforms available (with bigger screens than mobiles) like Linux, symbian, WindowsMobile, to view pics, browse a bit, read books & docs...
...and after all, why do we really need a 1000Mhz CPU just to get a "multitouch display" up running, that we can slide some icons around on a screen...what a glorious nonsense!
