I don't see why people are so attracted to these Tablets (whether it's an iPad or the XOOM). The point is that these devices requires a lot of attention while carrying them and using them.

a notebook is better option but the tablets are the next generation pc; people started using desktop computer at first then the notebook pc came after that and it had some flaws at first and people said its a luxury that they can live without and desktop pc has better performance... nowadays every one uses laptops as their main pc and desktop computers sales has been plummeting ever since. I believe that tablets are the next after laptops or at least they will complement the laptop pc, you just need an advanced OS with no limitations ie.(Android Honycomb) and devs will do miracles with it.

This doesn't explain the urge to buy such an expensive, very limited device...
Before reaching its ultimate state, i won't consider buying one.
I just hate to be a Beta tester for a product i paid for.

Yeah!! Let them be freebies!

Concerning this tablet war thing, I'm disappointed in Apple, ergg.

I mean Steve, come on man, if I want to purchase a next-gen tablet, well, I want the best out of it. For instance, where's 4G ? - knowing that I'll fully utilize it to Lebanese Networks. So yeah, that Motorolla device wins in my books, although it doesn't have the wide array of apps. 4G FTW!

want 4G? go live in korea. hehe

the motorla xoom will be available in LTE 4G for USA, HSPA+ for Europe, Asia and middle east. when the 3G gets deployed here in lebanon it will be using HSPA+ technology. apple was also proud in the speed of ipad 2 and ios 4.3 which brings safari speed improvements, but they are are still slower then honeycomb
