Probably I'm coming from a VGA pocket pc, and while the screen is decent, it was... not quite as crisp looking as I was expecting. It was noticeable, but after a short time, I became used to it, and now it's not a problem.

If I remember correctly (muzzy headed from a cold) from my searching that this has one of the higher resolutions in this price range, along with mostly better reviews than others in the same range or cheaper.

It's not as fast as a Color Nook (coworker has one) but then again, my PB can do more than his, albeit, not as much as others. It's an acceptable trade-off for me

Just saw this one lastnight while browsing Internet:

Velocity Micro T301 Cruz 7-Inch Android 2.0 Tablet (Black)

Any opinions? Very similar in some aspects to IQ but higher price. Touch screen uses capacity technology.

Not sure if I can run Nook app but I believe I can run Kindle app for sure...

In my research, it's one of the tablets that seemed to get bad reviews across the board, along with the Creative Zii?, Pandigital Novel & Augen. Not certain, but I think new versions were just shown at CES...

As for the Kindle app, it runs fine on my PB 701, although I don't like it's file system-everything is just in one file, no folders to separate mystery, horror, author, etc. I could be missing something however
