The Acer is actually pretty cool looking! I liked the style of it more than the Xoom, which kind of looks just like a black slab.

The good thing about the Acer is that it feels good when you hold it. It was more comfortable than the Xoom due to the weight distribution and rounded edges.

Guilty as charged with my nook color! I loved it while I had it, but was seduced (as always) by a sexy new gadget. Good thing I'm not like that with women (my wife agrees).

If I didn't want an apple product, I think I would probably go with the Acer over the Xoom due to the significant price difference at the entry level. With the Asus model already released (although sold out), it would be hard not to wait just a bit longer. Of course, you can't wait forever. But then again, the Toshiba and the new Samsungs look awfully good...
