The Pixel Qi screen does not come in 5" size. It has a capacitive multitouch screen. I would prefer resistive but the general public prefers capacitive. Is resistive multitouch ready for production yet?

The Pixel Qi screen is the main reason I want this. It's much better for the environment than regular LCD screens. I own an OLPC that my kids still use occasionally and I can't understand why it's taken this long for computer manufacturers to switch to this technology:

"The readability and legibility of our new screens rival the best epaper available today. What's new about our screens: fast video rate update (refresh), and fully saturated color at low pricing because we use standard manufacturing materials, processes and factories. Our screens use 1/2 to 1/4 the power of a regular LCD screen, and when integrated carefully with the device can increase battery life between charges by 5-fold."
