, there simply is no comparison. I can't imagine buying either the Xoom or the Acer over the ipad 2. I like to check out all of the new devices, wondering if I will regret my ipad 2 purchase. So far, nothing even comes close. My personal reasons:
1. The ipad 2's 4:3 screen works better for everything but video.
2. The ips screen on the ipad 2 has better viewing angles and more vibrant colors. It really outclasses the other devices.
3. The weight and thickness of the ipad 2 make it much more comfortable to hold.
4. The aluminum case of the ipad 2 is more stylish and better looking than either tablet. The ipad 2 makes the Acer in particular look really cheap.
5. None of the preloaded apps on the Xoom and Acer offered any advantages over their ios counterparts.
For $50 more, the ipad 2 is a no brainer compared to the Acer. I'll reserve judgment on the Asus eee Transformer because I haven't been able to play with one yet. at least the Asus is $100 cheaper and has a unique feature (the enhanced keyboard dock option).
