Ars ( 10 page long) Xoom review:

If you are looking for the best tablet available today, then look no further than Cupertino.

Although this review has largely been negative, I want to make it clear that I'm not completely dismissing Android as a tablet platform. The basic elements we are seeing in Honeycomb are compelling, and there is a lot of potential under the hood. Android has a long way to go before it's competitive with iOS on tablets, but it could have a lot to offer when it finally catches up.

The Bad:
The software is not particularly stable or robust
Requires a proprietary power adapter and can't charge through microUSB
Users have to rely on the MTP protocol to manage media on the device
The built-in e-mail client has extremely poor protocol support
There are very few third-party Android applications designed for the form factor
The Google Books e-book application doesn't support side-loading content
Very few websites handle the Honeycomb browser's User-Agent string correctly
The browser's support for advanced CSS3 features lags behind Safari's
