Just picked one of these up from Bestbuy because my Motorola Xoom was sent in for 4G upgrade. I decided I would try samsung out for the 1st time. I must say the screen colors are insanely beautiful compared to my xoom. What is most attractive is the size. I believe this 8.9 is the perfect size for a tablet. Samsung includes many of their own apps which all seem pretty cool. I bought the 16gb which seems fine, but if I decide to keep this, I will get the 32gb. It only comes with Android 3.1 which sucks. One thing I love about the xoom is they get new software updates rather quickly. I also wish it had a SD card slot as an option. Overall, the device is very light and great to hold. I bought the belkin verve folio stand which is a nice little case, but overpriced IMO.
I may wait for the Xoom 2 8.2 in tablet which is coming out soon just because they are timely when it comes to software updates and bug fixes. But I must say this is a really nice tablet.
