Jason,
I'm a big android fan. And my tablet purchase will probably be an android tablet.
But if it came down to only the iPad and the Xoom, I would begrudgingly say the iPad. I just don't trust Motorola's support of the Xoom given the state in which they released the hardware.
They should have at least drop the price "for a limited time" for the inconvenience of having to mail it back. And that's just to get a finished product. They could have spun it as an "early adopters special". That would have kick-started sales. If the discount was enough.

I was on the fence until the original iPAD dropped in price when they announced the new iPAD. I then went ahead and bought the cheapest of the original models (16 GB WiFi-only).
I am a cheapskate tech enthusiast, so my choice is probably the minority among the members here.

I actually greatly admire your ability to do that - I just couldn't, no matter how much I tried to convince myself. I've also never bought a used car before, which is financially a bit silly as well...

Don't ever live where I am. You'll be broke real fast. :P

Yeah...the fact that if I keep the Xoom I have to ship it back to Motorola to get the microSD slot working is just dumb. I knew that going in, but really, who ships a product like that before it's ready?
