See, I was so excited about the XOOM's release that I wasn't aware of the proper way to spell it's clever name.

I am certin that there will be throngs of crowds at Verizon stores to snap up supplies. Poor Apple. At least with the focus squarely on Xoom, the congestion at the Apple Store will ease somewhat.

And with that I'm pretty sure this thread hit troll status.

Yes, perhaps!

I think its the result of minor frustration of the constant baiting by Droid freaks. The hyperbole of the droid claims is just overwhelming. A post explaining the pros and cons of each device is fine, but the idea that Xoom leave the iPad or Apple in the dust is pure BS. Posts along the "how will the iPad survive" or "admit it, Xoom is clearly suprerior" are laughable and meant to stir fecal matter.

Yes, Xoom has upgraded hardware. Does no one think the new iPad wont have a faster processor etc? Does Android have some nice features or UI tweaks? Yes. Some are improvements to iPad while ithers or just a variation on a means to perform a function.

Apple set the bar and created the market for the tablet. Google, Moto ate just riding coattails right now. Apple has tremendous brand recognition for the iPad much like the iPod. While I dont believe the iPad will command the same dominance of the iPod, it has already acheived cultural icon status like the ipod. Here's betting there will be lines at Apple Stores on launch day of iPad 2G.
