Nick: I have the epic 4g rooted and bought the xoom when it first came out. Then realized that with the xoom requiring infrastructure mode (and the wifi tether app not supporting it), that I wouldn't be able to tether. Looked for a workaround for 2 weeks and then just returned the xoom for an...

Oh don't get me wrong. I love the hardware (short of it being a bit heavy). It's actually the software that I'm dissatisfied with. Yes, "dissatisfied." That doesn't mean I think the product is inferior to the ipad. It doesn't mean I think everyone else should follow suit. But for ME, my needs...

It lags out of the box. Albeit not a ton, but enough to annoy me. I get that 'buy a new device and immediately try to fix it because it doesn't work right out of the box' is the Android way, but in this case the extra functionality of the xoom doesn't make up for the lagginess, fixable or not...

Returning mine as well. It's not the cost, it's the fact that even if I DIDN'T get FCs every few hours, even if there WERE apps written for it, and even if it DID ship with 4g/SD support/flash, there's still the problem of input/screen lag. Sure, it's only a matter of milliseconds, but that...

I've got one in brooklyn for ya for way cheaper

Yeah agree that the netbook is more versatile. The air is tempting, but the 5 hour battery life kills it. My 3 year old XPS m1530 has 4.5 hours. Now if it got 8 hours then we might be onto something...

Conclusion Hey guys, Thanks for all the feedback and opinions. I've been using the xoom almost nonstop for the past week or so, and I've come to a few conclusions: First, I've realized that tablets are useful because they fill a void -- the space between laptops and phones. I thought that...

Yeah i guess i assumed that the xoom would be way lighter and more portable than a netbook. But they're about the same in terms of weight. I wanted the xoom because i wanted to be able to use it walking around like a phone. You can, but you also can with a netbook and a netbook has all the other...

Bought the Xoom on release day and having second thoughts about it (as are a lot of you on this forum, it appears). The lack of a keyboard limits me from doing any real work on it, and although the battery life is nice and widgets are cool, it's basically just an $800 large screen android phone...
