Comment on Motorola XOOM priced at $800parent

"When you could that with a higher resolution screen, dual cameras, /and/ a built in barometer, Id say its a near even deal"

Remember though that the Xoom will spend most of its life competing against the second generation iPad, so most of these feature advantages are likely to vanish. Throw onto that the fact that judging from Apple's pricing history the next iPad will either have the same or a lower price, _and_ the Xoom will require a cellular contract to use Wifi (!), the Xoom will likely compare poorly to most people.

very true. But I also guarantee that there will be price cuts almost right after release, much like the galaxy tab, let alone a few months after its release when the 2nd ipad is available.

Although it may still win on the barometer.

I bet someone at Apple is trying to figure out 1) How to include one 2) How to leverage one

[yes, in that order]
