I actually sold a Xoom to him, and I don't even work at Best Buy.
My point is it's not complicated to learn, most if not all is a learn once and your done. Apple does have this country under it's spell

1. 16x9 is a movie/video ratio. It is not a text-reading ratio.
2. I couldn't tell the body was metal. They've hidden it well.
3. You seem to have a prejudice against Apple. Usually when someone is prejudiced against anything or anyone, they aren't able to see things clearly. When a salesman has an apparent leaning towards one product over another, I always analyze to see if they might have an agenda. If one product is clearly better than the other, the salesperson is only stating the obvious. But when both products have equal appeal, then there must be another reason.
I haven't yet figured out what the problem is with Android fanatics... they can be worse than Apple fans. They (you?) seem to leave their reasoning at the door.
I still own an Android phone... I love it! I don't know if it's any better than an Apple phone but it works for me. I have also owned three Android tablets... a tablet is not the same thing as a phone. Apple realized that when they designed the iPad. Apparently not everyone else has realized that yet. Android seems to be a better phone app than a tablet app... at this point in time. But I bet by the end of the year there will be some good tablets as the manufacturers play catch-up.
So, I'm giving a perspective of someone who is NOT partial between brands or OS. My point in writing was to shed a wee bit of light on low sales of a decent device... not to proselyte one device over the other, just to understand why things are.
