All well and good BushCountry... except no one has seen one.
And no one was allowed to touch one at CES.
First time in history of CES that a non-working device won Best of Show. What a scam!
BushCountry, I hate to burst your bubble, but that was a mock-up playing an animation of the proposed Xoom working that was shown at CES. That very slick demo being shown there was all sleight of handnone of the apps were really workingwatch the video again, carefully, and you will notice that events supposedly responding to touches occurred both before and after the cause, his touch. Amazing. That's because it's an animation, designed to simulate the device in operation, as he pretends to work it. I loved the page turn on the ebook when he wasn't even touching it. Many others have commented on this, but few of the punditry were willing to declare that King Motorola Xoom has no clothes.
So far, as far as anyone has been able to determine, the Motorola Xoom hardware is hot air ware. It's design has not yet been released to gold master for manufacturing and neither has Android 3.0 for publication.
When Motorola sends out review models to reporters for REAL hands on testing, then we shall see how good it is, or is not. If it's a 3G or 4G cellular model, they have to submit it to the FCC for approval, a 4 to 6 month process before the production model can be released. Short range WIFI has no such restrictions.
damn bushcountry, the last time i read your comments, you were rabid microsoft. glad to see you over here on the linux side.
