well said!
yea..how often does an iOS device freeze up? once a week at most?
My xoom lags if it hasn't restarted over 24 hours.
Try going into the app drawer in the Xoom and be in portrait view...it still lags...and that is equivalent to the "GRID VIEW" on iOS
I don't think you can compare Android 3.0 on tablets and iOS 3 as launched on the original iPad - Honeycomb differs significantly from previous versions of Android, while iOS on iPad was more of the same. Google was already hugely behind Apple in the tablet space, so better to get products out the door and drum up some support rather than wait another year. Not saying this is the ideal way to go about it, but you gotta start somewhere.
Android on tablets is still in its infancy; look back at say Android 1.5 on smartphones of the time and you might remember that was a pretty miserable experience as well. The point is there's potential, and some people like to bet on the dark horse
If your device hasn't gotten 3.1 you cannot view it, therefore you cannot REview it or judge it in any way. I
It looks like we have people who will complain about Google/Motorola blindly.Thanks...it looks like we have people who will support google/motorola blindly
fact is, yes we are early adopters...but so where the people who bought Ipad 1's....that didn't have any issues at all
if they had so many issues with 3.0 HC...then they shouldn't have released a premature product....I dropped $650 on this device and expect it to work like a $650 device

Why did you get a Honeycomb device? Why are you on Android? You need to ask these questions.
What was it that drew you away from iOS and toward Android? Was it the smoothness of a scroll when the unit was inverted? Or was it the more powerful and capable operating system that gave you more freedom, more utility, and more promise?
Seriously, you guys are complaining about something I can only see if I try to see it. In normal use, it doesn't even come up. Something you see when the unit is upside down? Really? That's how you are judging XOOM and Honeycomb?
Darn the features. Darn the flexibility. Darn everything because when it's upside down it doesn't scroll the ENTIRE screen as smoothly as an iPad scolls one tenth the number of pixels.
And you think we are the blind ones?
It's time you sold your XOOM and bought an iPad. Seriously. Stop torturing yourself with what you firmly believe is an inferior product.
Not exactly. I said I haven't seen lag and asked for someone to show it to me. I've said I don't see lag many times before.first you say there is no lag....then you say there is lag, but give a reason for it...now say you do see it if you try to see it....make up your mind already....
Android is superior in terms of customization and capabilities. The "cost" you complain about so vehemently, most of us don't even notice... not unless we go out of our way looking for it.HC is definitely superior to iOS in terms of customization, but it comes at a cost
Then I don't understand what the problem is. Seriously dude, you sound like you spent your last $800 on a XOOM, have no recourse to return it, and you are bitter you didn't buy an iPad2. That's exactly how you sound.Sorry...won't buy an iPad no matter what

Lag or no lag... Financially foolish or not. Both are all about what you're doing with the device.Lag, stutter, freeze...whatever you want to call it (i am not sure of the proper term)
As for the quote above, You have it all wrong....
I bought the iPad 2 on launch day at Walmart...64gb....I of course didn't like it because I am an long time android user, but I figured I would give it a shot. I ended up returning it on day 9 (I had a 14 day return policy).
I then waited for the Xoom to come to Cotsco and bought it on launch day. I have a 90 day return period, so I am have plenty of recourse.
Next. I didn't spend my last $800 on a xoom....that would be financially foolish.
Have a nice day!
