With all due respect, I disagree with you in a way. Naturally, nothing that anyone in a company states is necessarily binding. But when someone makes a statement on behalf of a company, the company "stands behind" (or at least should) what they said. The fact that they now have left still leaves that statement which the company should stand behind, and if the company doesnt do that it is a reflection on the company and not on the person who made the statement. The statement was not made by that person as a private citizen, but rather as a representative of the company. I do agree with what you said about the various tablets, and I only used Xoom as an example because it will ship with Honeycomb on board. It certainly stands as a different device, based on price as you correctly point out.
