Let's see my Mother is in her 70's got her a Xoom over a year ago, she loved it until she got it ripped off so I got her a Nexus 7. She loves that even more, it's just the right size for her to carry around in her purse.
I wanted the TF700, suited my needs more so I gave my Xoom to my Father who is in his 80's, he's almost always has it on him. Both of them use it for web browsing, emails, photo's, readers, light gaming, church stuff, etc. It's much easier/convenient than a laptop for them.
Back a couple of years ago Apple may have had an advantage with ICS Android really addressed most of the issues and Jelly Bean really IMO (I'm not alone either) has overtaken Apple. The hardware options also blows Apple out of the water.
