i've heard flash runs pretty well on a jailbroken iPad. I only need wifi and the xoom wifi is nowhere in sight. Why not go this route and get all the apps AND flash? The base iPad cost is pretty darn cheap.
its so annoying that u have to connect the ipad to itunes every time u wanna add music, or sideload books.
I thought you could buy music and apps from the store directly from the iPad? I agree with you on the resale value. I just sold a bunch of old istuff on Ebay and got darn near what we paid for it. crazy.
