    I'll believe it when I see it.

    Manage to get the 25% coupon? Congrats, Moto will honor it

    Mine didn't ship until I called them to ask where it was. Did anyone else get theirs shipped without a call?

    Farewell Xoom

    It also still needs an anyconnect VPN client from cisco. This may cause me to sell my Xoom I got with the 25% off. I have the Xoom doing most of what I need it to do, but the VPN issue has me teetering on the birng of an iPad2 despite the fact I think the Xoom may be the long term better...

    Some Android Newbie questions

    Well I am pleased to announce I am playing video files streaming off my media server using skifta and rock player. I got the exchange server issue worked out and have all my mail. Now I am only a anyconnectVNC client away from full happiness. I think I may consider stickig out the early adopter...

    Portfolio Case for Xoom Suck?

    If you really care about resale value, don't buy bleeding edge tech the first week of release. In 6 months its worthless compared to what you paid anyway.

    Some Android Newbie questions

    Well, the rushed to market criticisms I have read are resonating with me further. I tried to navigate my network fileserver via the web interface, and the browser does not properly handle the web site. I can't even navigate the web based file manager on my NAS to DL some content to try the media...

    Some Android Newbie questions

    I am downloading qqplayer as I type this, I'll load some media and try it out. All other players I have tried have been unsuccessful, and it really made me miss the tight control apple has on the itunes store. It is a lot easier to find stuff that just works. I will start a new thread for the...

    Some Android Newbie questions

    I agree they will come in time. But these are the main uses I have for the device. So, I think I will be returning my Xoom. I don;t really need to have all this money tied up in a device that can't do 3 of the 4 fundamental tasks I want it for. I have been waiting for something better than the...

    Some Android Newbie questions

    I am new to the android world, and the Xoom is my first android product. So far there seem to be a few missing apps for this thing to be useful to me. The ipad currently does most of them. I am typically not an early adopter, and this may be just early adopter pain. So, any speculation on the...

    You already overpayed for the Xoom.

    Mine says shipped. As we say at the poker table: "Ship it!"

    You already overpayed for the Xoom.

    well, if they cancel mine, I will have to wait and see if it goes back anyway, depending on the announced features of the iPad2. I really hope I am the lucky one who gets the $600 deal. :-)

    You already overpayed for the Xoom.

    Yup, I too ordered one for $600, and my best buy purchase goes back tomorrow. I also was told at best buy I had to do at least a 1 month activation, so there is $20 I didn't need to spend. I hope I can transfer my plan over to the new one rather than just cancel it so I'll get some use out of it.
