I purchased the wifi 32Gb Moto Xoom to compare to the iPad 2. While the form factor is not as slick at the iPad 2, the actual device is fantastic compared with the earlier Samsung devices on the market. I used it solidly for a week and can safely say I prefer:
- the quality of the OS
- the quality of the camera
- the battery life is fantastic
- that the apps sync beautifully if you are already an Android user
The quality of the Motorola Xoom display is great, apps run without issues and overall it must be said that if you are a Gmail or Google Apps user, this is the device you need for everyday use. The Gmail, maps, docs et al interfaces are far superior over that of the iOS devices. None of this 200 emails rubbish, bring it on, have as much as you like offline!
Conclusion: for business use the Motorola Xoom is far better than the iPad 2, if you want luxury then the iPad 2 will do for you to surf on the sofa.
I'm sticking to my Xoom - Boom!
