The 32gb 3G/4G Xoom is closer to the price of the 64Gb iPad 3G though.
As it should be considering the fact we will be able to have basically unlimited storage once the SD card comes online. LTE, built in HDMI, no paying Apple $39 bucks for a $2 dollar part. The other obvious advantages from OTA updates, dowloading directly from the web, file system, notifications, email attachments, Flash, customization out the wazoo...
That is just what i can think of off the top...
Freedom to do basic tasks is worth the $$$ to me.
The Asus at $400 bucks is a good entry level tablet but no way i am using a device with a 16gig hard drive, no expansion SD slot and no USB ports. If i wanted locked down id go back to an iPad. No flash storage on a tablet device in 2011? What the heck are they thinking... way to sluggish to even bother.
