All those existing Android market existing games and apps scale really well, because they don't have to scale. We evaluated higher res screen options, but felt 800x480 gives more bang for the buck. I feel for you though, I run dual 2560x1600 30" on my desktop.

This is a valid reason.
Granted I don't know what degree of performance differences you are referring to but my nook running 1.2GHz(0verclocked) 1024x600 is snappy enough. If I was given a choice between speed increase or resolution increase I would always chose screen resolution every time.
Never the less for the price it's a nice piece of hardware. One thing that was not on the spec sheet was the screen protection. Does this have gorilla glass or something equivalent?
