I disagree, I believe the Xoom is the better product. I believe the processor and screen resolution are relatively similar. True the battery life may be better with the ipad, however Honeycomb 3.0 is superior to Ios 4.3 when it comes to notifications, multi-tasking and app switching, the Android os is also open source, so its only a matter of time before there are more apps developed for it. Lets not forget to mention the fact that Apple bans any apps that it doesn't agree with, i.e. wikileaks, or other "adult" oriented app ideas - which will never be the case for Android. Xoom also uses a chrome-esque browser, which is far superior to the safari browser (ie, browser tabs) Xoom also will be able to run Flash, which for some reason Apple hates and will probably never support on its mobile devices.
