good point there, cap. multitouch on a device where you need to use one had to hold it makes less sense then on something that can be put on a surface, or into a angled stand, so that the user can use all 10 fingers.

still, i dont think there is any limitation on size on this, and resistive screens are a fair bit cheaper to produce then both capacitive screens (iphone) or active digitizer screens (most convertible laptops).

one good thing tho (though i suspect all future nokia tablets to have N810 style keyboards) is that using onscreen keyboards become easier, as you do not have to worry about lifting one thumb before pressing down with the other...
