Yeah, exactly - the Xoom has matched the price on one of Amazon's more expensive models, but are still $200+ above the entry level price of the iPad (and I think that the $500 wifi iPad is by far the most popular model).
While I'm perhaps vaguely interested in a tablet (more as a toy than as anything else, really...but, hey, I've always liked toys), and would prefer a non-Apple version due to concerns over e-reader apps, I haven't really seen a compelling alternative yet...despite Android and makers having had a year to come up with something. I mean, when you can't even match Apple's prices, there's something of a problem that I see.
Plus, you can get a refurbished iPad 1 for $350, and a new iPad 1 for $400.
