Screen: Resistive. I don't care much about multitouch; I've used my Nintendo DS heavily since 2005 using stylus. Resolution definitely matters for me, more so than physical size.
Software Features/applications: Also using it as a phone is a handy "all-in-one" solution IMO.

And one last thing: I apologize that my english is not perfect, as it's not my first language. I hope you still understand what I mean.

Broken down in, roughly;
- Screen
Resistive/Capacitive, Multitouch, size, resolution, etc
- OS
Does it matter if the device is running an Opensourced OS?
Is Android 'open enough'? Would you use a great hardware - but it's running Win? Etc
- Software Features/applications
What are your top 4-5 application features you are looking for?
Streaming media, Social media integration, video conferencing, do you want it to be a phone or 'just' a tablet, seamless integration with work applications like Outlook, VPN capabilities, do you 'need' to be able to gain root (or equivalent) access, etc
- Hardware features
Physical keyboard or not, physical size (a) for a device that incorporates phone functionality, b) for a device that is a tablet only), USB, two-way facing cameras, minimum megapixels, speakers, etc
- Price/Manufacturer
Where do you draw the line for a device that would meet these/your requirements? Does the brand/manufacturer matter to you?
As an "interesting" tidbit: In 2005 90% of people wanted to just buy a phone and use it as delivered. In 2009 that number was down to 75% where 25% said they wanted to have more control over fundamental features including operating system.
If anyone out there have any strong thoughts on what he/she would like to see in a future touchscreen tablet I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Note: There is no commercial interest or intent in asking these questions.
