It's not that they are charging more for an equivalent product; it's that they are not offering a popular, less expensive product. And that they may have lost potential customers because of this.
The Xoom was released on 2/24; the update enabling flash was released on 3/11 (at least in the US). So it was a couple of weeks.

So, just to be straight, equivalent Xooms and pads are identically priced. iPad is better because it offers cheaper , lower specified options? By that logic, Fords are better than Rolls Royces, simply because they offer lower priced, lower specced, alternatives?
XOOM was released later in the UK with flash working immediately hence my confusion.
