- Screen

Resistive rules because of the stylus. I can see better around a tiny stylus that my finger. Great visibility in daylight is a must.

- OS

It needs to be open, and work well. Anything that can't be updated by the community is doomed to die early, and I want to get several years of usefulness out of a device, at the least.

- Software Features/applications

Phone, txt, internet, games, video, and music is what I use mine for the most.

- Hardware features

Physical keyboard and a kickstand at two features I love. 3.5 to 4" screen. Anything bigger and its not going to be pocketable.

- Price/Manufacturer


$500 is as much as I would be willing to pay.
