Google's first real answer to the iPad is not exactly blowing the doors off.
According to an estimate from Deutsche Bank, Motorola has only sold 100,000 Xooms thus far. Deutsche Bank got its estimate after looking at the Android developer website to see how many people were using Honeycomb.
For some context, Apple sold 300,000 iPads on the first week weekend it was available. (And it's been selling like crazy since then. Total sales are probably over 20 million at this point.)

Actually, XOOM is a surprising success. The tablet came to market with four huge handicaps, all of which make comparisons to iPad 2 unrealistic...
...Now that XOOM is available for the more affordable $600, without Verizon commitment, I expect to see sales growth. If not, then by all means call XOOM a failure. But looking at the situation right now, 100,000 is a strong start given these handicaps -- and that should encourage other Android tablet manufacturers.
