Playbooks sales exceeding Xoom. Not a shocker.

This is no surprise to me, the thing is for BlackBerry users, and since there are actually millions of BlackBerry business users and so corporations or companies will buy them. The Xoom is like the iPad, not really aimed towards the business, but sure as hell can be ( sort of like the Verizon commercials, the children with the tablets and Droids? Yeah lol)


Plus RIM had variety, like the iPad 2. It offered a 16gig and 32gig model and soon models for CDMA AND GSM carriers. The Xoom only comes in two flavours, 3/4g and wifi only. Very limited and no difference in hard drive space.

If only the Android Honeycomb Xoom could be used by business but in its current state it cannot, it has less business orientated apps, simple things like Cisco VPN / WebEx etc. are not supported (well they are in specific ways but not fully), its just too hard to break into Corp business with these toys at the moment. As soon as there is better support and buy in from companys Corps deal with then it will kick off in this space - I cannot recommend the Xoom to my CEO's and exec team as it just cant do what the iPad and Blackberry can, great that the Xoom can play lots of media files but is that really what we want to use in the board room ?

What the heck are you talking about?! You're making things up.

I'm an enterprise user, working for a multi-billion dollar technology company. We are dropping our notebooks for Honeycomb tablets, not iPads, not Playbooks... Honeycomb tablets.

In a Honeycomb tablet, we have a familiar file system. We can drill down into logically laid out folders and open these files automatically with their associated applications. Try doing that in an iPad... you can't.

I regularly receive file attachments via e-mail in my XOOM. I open these attachements, modify/edit them, and send them out as attachments in another e-mail. Try doing that with an iPad... you can't.

It is clear you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and I don't believe for a second you even own a XOOM.
