Wow, that's alarming. If prices keep plummeting, it means the resell value will go right out of the window by the time you want to trade it in for a better device.
Do a lot of people buy something purely based on the potential resale value? Personally, I buy based on my enjoyment in using the thing, not how much I can expect to sell it for if I get impatient and want to upgrade to the newest thing next year.
Surprisingly, I really liked the 7" form factor of the Tab after actually playing with it; I actually think the widescreen works better in that size and the iPad's more square screen works better in the 10" size. I also really liked using the 7" Tab as a camera, it felt like a huge P&S :awe: Apple needs to get on that size pronto!
Jobs lashed out at the oncoming new generation low priced 7 tablet, announcing that it would be DOA Dead On Arrival. On a conference call to analysts, Jobs said of the 7 tablet was going to bomb in the market and The manufacturers will learn the painful lesson that their tablets are too small.
This is the first time in history that apple has a better product for a cheaper price, the ipad 1 trounces this $800 tablet and you can have one for $350 refurbished. Sure is a bit more limited but the overall ecosystem of iOS is better than the Android Tablet, with no apps i'm not sure if i feel adventurous enough to drop such a high amount of money just for a few google apps that sure are nice but is not going to be the bread and meat during the useful life of the device.
How do you figure that? The Xoom has better specs than the iPad 2 does. Even 6 months after the iPad came out, decent apps for it were virtually nonexistent. Running iPhone apps on it was an atrocious experience. Not to mention that for apps that had an iPad version, you'd usually pay $10 for the iPad version when the phone version was $1.99 and the only difference was the resolution. The main thing the iPad was any good for was web browsing and reading books and that's still what it is mainly useful for today. That's what the Xoom will be useful for as well.

I think whether the XOOM has better specs remains to be seen.
6 months after the iPad was out? It has a ton of apps built specifically for it. The iWork suite was there by default. Then you had Sketchbook Pro, etc...
iPad apps were $9.99 but most of them have dropped to $4.99 by the end of the first 6 months. And now you have apps that are universal, or only $1 - $2 more expensive for an HD version for iPad.
XOOM will be useful for web browsing when it's less buggy, and when it finally has Flash. Whenever that is...
Dude, return the damn thing, it'll be awesome after a revision or two, and when it's sold with the 4G radio already installed....
I also have some concerns about battery life with 4G after the mod....
Go score a nook color and call it a day till the 2nd 1/2 of the year...
