It may be sporting a pretty competitive tablet OS but all consumers are going to see is

Introducing some thing that looks like an iPad, does the same stuff as the iPad but costs $100 more than an iPad.

People may argue “but it has higher specs, 3G LTE, etc etc”. No consumer cares about what gigahertz are in the thing, all they care about is whether it can do “The Facebook” and play those cool games like “Angry Birds”.



Also what do mean by fully Flash enabled (ASTERISK)? If by that you mean that Adobe is still working on a good version of Flash for tablets, then you lied it isn’t fully Flash enabled. It’s Flash ready, just like my care is not Spoiler enabled but Spoiler ready.

The XOOM really feels like it is for Android geeks or people who want a hybrid tablet-PC. It doesn’t feel or seem to be a tablet aimed at people who don’t care about dual core CPUs, RAM specifications or some advanced operating system and just want a tablet to runs apps and browses the internet. I think the Motorola’s website for the XOOM especially speaks to some sort of sci-fi nerd fantasy.
