i picked up on sunday. the biggest disappointment is that it doesn't handle high profile hd and can't handle ac3 5.1 sound. i don't want to have to reduce the quality or reduce my files to 2 channel as it make the hdmi port nearly useless for me.
my archos 101 handles the same video files flawlessly.
now besides that the xoom is far better than the archos 101, but it seems a bit slower that the gtablet (viewsonic tegra 2 tablet). i don't know if it's b/c the rom it tweak so well by roebeet, honeycomb is that much of a strain on the processor or if there's just some other reason. i haven't rooted yet as i'm not 100% sure i'll keep it. i may go to another ti omap device or try qualcomm's if they have no problems with hd video.
