btw, the non-starter about the Xoom for me is the 16:10 screen ratio. It really is a skinny screen and feels wrong to me in portrait orientation. My tablet device must be closer to 4:3, even 9:5 is better if it's wide enough in portrait orientation. but then it would need to be about a 17" device and, well, that would be just too big. I would be fine with a 4:3-ish 10"-12" device. The one thing I feel Apple did right is the screen size and proper ratio. A 12" version would be better for me but still at 4:3 it's a lot easier for me.
