I was wondering if anyone here had one? I played with it a little at Best Buy. And I thought it was pretty awesome. The price and the weight are the only problems for me. It felt a little heavy. But it was tethered to a cord, so I couldn't get an actual feel for it. And it is pretty expensive considering what you can get an Ipad for. But I was really impressed with it. And for once I didn't think the reviews were tying to pump up something that wasn't worth the money like the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The Xoom is the first real competitor for the iPad. Android 3.0 (Android for tablets) is waaaaay better than iOS on the iPad.

As for the weight, its similar to the iPad (1.5 points). Its seems heavy, but its really not that bad. Its about the same as a hardcover novel.

Yeah, like I said, it was tethered. So I wasn't sure if I was feeling the actual weight or the weight with the cord attached. But I liked the OS a lot. I'm not someone who buys first generation hardware. But I would consider buying it.

Read on engadget the other day that it will be the first divice to get 3.1 from google. The one thing I didn't like about it, was that it seemed like Moto. seemed to just rush it a little when they released it. They didn't have the update for flash when it came out but advertised the hell out of it that it could do it compared to the Ipad, it still can't use the micro sd card slot as a expansion for the flash hd (update suppose to come out soon) and the fact it came out on Verizon 3G when 4GLTE was up and running kinda was the same thing (update for that at the end of the year).

Its a great device and like people have said, its the first real competitor for the iPad. There are going to be ALOT being released this year, HTC is making one and ASUS is making one as well, which are the two I'll be looking at closely.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
