Horrible AC receptacle

[pixelsyndicate]

agreed. the power plug is horrid. it's a 12 volt charger, so usb charging wouldn't keep up with usage, but the pin is miniscule, and I just know I'm gonna tear it out. Im hoping the little metal flanges near the power charge area at the bottom can be used with a doc to charge, because I can't see myself aligning the Xoom up on a charger doc with a pin-like prong to align up with.

I was at Best Buy yesterday playing with the Acer Iconia, Went to boot up the Xoom next to it to compare screens and the Xoom wouldn?t boot up. The battery was dead.

Tried to re-seat the power connector and the little pin charger just wiggled around loosely inside the Xoom. I know store demo units have a tough life, but it still didn?t look good.

Even more sad, that store will never sell any Xooms with that display on the table.
