I have the Xoom 4G and would NOT want to be without it! I purchased it on launch day last February and have not enjoyed, or depended upon, a device more. (and I've got loads of gadgets).

That said, I pre-ordered the Fire when it was announced and waffled over my decision -- until it arrived and I had some time to use it. It's a keeper. They are both very different devices and have their uses. Many have already compared the pros and cons here. I find the Fire to be a great little device used for quick web surfing, email, video streaming and reading but it will never take the place of my Xoom or any full-sized/featured Android tablet.

Only you know what your needs/requirements are.

BTW, attempting to compare the Fire and its OS to that of Honeycomb & the Xoom is pointless.
