Just curious if the Xoom is so bad and unacceptable, why don’t you return it and buy some other tablet? I’m not trying to be a smartass just curious.

It's a Honeycomb thing... or maybe a graphics processor thing... (they both use the same).4. When the samsung comes out, I will certainly give that a try to see if its a honeycomb thing or a motorola thing. I have held, but not tried the Asus one yet, but I dont' like the build of it.
Yeah. It's frustrating, but a few people found what I call "stutter" or "lack of smoothness" when the unit is upside down or in portrait mode. They continue to misuse the term "lag".i dont have ANY lag but i keep seeing lag post
"Dysfunctional"? Puh-leeze. I read .pdf files in portrait all the time. I'm an electrical engineer who needs to read data sheets, application notes an other technical documents... all in .pdf. I never even noticed this stutter. One needs to deliberately look for this.
No, I dropped nearly $3000 on three of them and accompanying accessories and tax. ;-) But I'm not counting and will upgrade as soon as there is something significantly better.my pdf files are over 200 pages in length and 50mb+......small pdf's don't have issues, but large ones do
keep justifying this dysfunctional tablet to yourself, my friend.....you dropped $600-$800 on it and now your psychological defensive mechanisms are kicking in........and can't accept reality...makes sense really
You accused me of having no recourse...but now I accuse you.....you know you are stuck with this tablet and are trying to make the best of it, while the rest of us still have the option to return this unit.
We have presented evidence and proof do you that this lag exists.....but you just can't make up your mind if there is or isn't lag.
This will be my last communication to you.
1. I never accused you of having no recourse. Show me anything I wrote that remotely implied that. In fact, I said the opposite. I told you to buy something else. That's what I would do if I hated my XOOM so much.
2. and you keep using the term "lag". Lag means it's not keeping up with your finger. This is not the case. What you are complaining about is a lack of smoothness when dragged slowly. Nothing is lagging behind your finger.
3. From another thread, I believe you're getting the Samsung tablet. You'll find the same lack of smoothness with that tablet.
.
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.
Re-read it dude. It's a comparison. I was saying that's how over the top you sound. Who doesn't have recourse to get a different tablet? To underscore the idea it was a comparison, I ended with "That's exactly how you sound." I was trying to say you sounded like a cornered dog. (Please don't accuse me now of calling you a dog. I'm just making another comparison.) If I was trying to actually say you don't have recourse, I would have just said it... but again, that would be ridiculous. It's a free country, of course you have recourse.I said I wasn't going to respond to you...but I just had to show the board to counter your denial.
1. Look below...are you already forgetting what you have posted?

OMG. Do we have one dimension of agreement?! Be still my heart.2. Lag, stutter, freeze..whatever it is...I'm not familar with the technical terms...lets just call it a lack of smoothness.
No, I said I haven't experienced lag. And I've been saying that for quite some time. As far as the "lack of smoothness", I said I never noticed it. Now that it's been brought to my attention and know what to look for, yes, I can see it. I think it's about as important an issue as a pimple on an elephant's butt, but I can see it.3. You said you have never experienced this lack of smoothness, yet you do now..please make up your mind already
Any one else still experience the text input delay in the browser?
I respect your rant! My PDF files are horrible thus far... If I could I would get the Ipad2 ~ I don't care about Widgets or custom screens! I want a device that fits my needs.
I know updates will fix a lot of the device problems but...Wow I just said I would own an oversize iPod touch! Lol

OK you two. You both disagree and that's fine. Now lets move on and be done with it.

That's something I have definitely noticed. It seems to be worse on some sites than others. On sites that are really bad I usually just type it in another app and copy and paste it over. It's certainly not ideal, but it's a decent enough workaround.
All I can say is WOW!
lol....typing in another app and copying and pasting in? sure it works, but should we really be doing that on a $600--800 tablet? Maybe on one of those cheap $200 viewsonic tablets it may be acceptable, but not for google's flagship tablet product.
