iPad 2 is neat because it has the camera, but it's not a very GOOD camera. I haven't taken a single shot that I actually "like" with it. I thought it'd be great for taking shots of cars I'm selling (I go through them very rapidly), but it just didn't have the detail I was looking for.

Archos is a cheaply made piece of crap, and I'd stay away from it.

I'm very happy with my Xoom. Honeycomb is a great OS, and it's nice to be able to experience it before it comes to my Thunderbolt phone. I play the heck out of Angry Birds on my Xoom while I'm taking a poop.

Hope some of that helps. I have somewhat a unique perspective, owning them all.
Thanks for that

The xoom does look pretty good, I'm very tempted to order something today but I am going to try hold off the impulse and see what else comes along.

Think I have seen this, I do like the keyboard idea a lot and the extra battery would be amazing.

The release is TBA though right? haven't seen it announced anywhere.
