WiFi only Xoom $599 at Staples
sounds about right, if Sams Club rumor remains true for the norm Warehouse discount price of $539.
If not a member then $600 for 32G is a very very sweet deal. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/12...99-at-staples/ |

Plus tax (8.25% for me), plus extended warranty. *sigh* Can't Amazon sell these things direct? I gotta stick with my $500 limit for these gadgets. We'll see what November/December brings in terms of holiday price drops.

so far i've played with 2 display units. both have dark bars at the bottom edge (holding horizontally). if this is typical i may skip the xoom. then again a dim small sections is better than light bleed (ipad 2) imo. i always use dark bg in home screens and reading.

Or just wait for an improvement... Pretty sure there will be some nice "bugs" on the iPad 2 to.

Xoom does not have hardware buttons like previous Android devices and uses software buttons. The only physical buttons are the power button and the volume up/down buttons. If you are talking about black bars across the viewing area -- that's definitely broke. |

i've only seen one other post about it - could be my search params different. the response is that he/she had a defective unit. it may be possible that the other's eyes aren't as sensitive to the change. i have very good eyes at detecting colors - i work prepress and do tons of color corrections, i even made 100% on a color test . |

Mine is not like that and this is the first I've heard of any such thing.
