• The Xoom vs the Ipad 2?
    3 replies, posted
Alright, anyone who's planned on getting a tablet has probably been watching these two and I'm honestly stuck. [B]Price aside,[/B] what are the pros and cons of each? I wanted the Ipad 2 for a while due to having it for work and other tablety reasons. I know there are alot of apps ready for the Ipad 2.. but I see the Xoom's stats and wonder why it wouldn't be a better choice. Now, The Xoom is going to run Android 3.0 which seems awesome and all but I don't want to buy something that's just pretty. I already have a Motorola Droid 2 which makes me worry the apps list will be the exact same.. and I'll gain nothing but a bigger screen. While the Ipad 2 will offer more apps. But then it comes down to what will be produced for the Xoom once it's out? What are your opinions on this? Which one are you planning on getting and why? (if at all.) Also, if this belongs in hardware/software mods please move it there. I figured it fit better here but maybe my judgement was wrong.

[QUOTE=JeffAndersen;27947263] but I don't want to buy something that's just pretty. [/QUOTE] Then don't get the iPad2. I don't know how good the iPad2 will be, but the iPad is comparable to my phone, Evo4G, so there is really nothing innovative there. Apple products for the most part sell well because they are sex symbols. Now dont just believe me, as you can tell by my avatar that I support Android. Also, concerning the app count, it is really trivial. The Market is catching up and better and better apps are coming out. 2.3 and 3.0 will improve heavily on speed for their JIT VM and the gaming experience will most definitely improve. warning: Since the Xoom is by Motorola don't expect a lot of updates, although rooted is a possible option.
let's speculate on a device that hasn't been released and another that hasn't been announced yet!
