Does Apple Pay FR to run Ads, similarly i wonder if they pay Fox News to advertise their current product roll-outs?

Siegler reports, “The consensus? iPad 2: Good. Xoom: Bad.”

“I haven’t extensively played with iPad 2 yet...

So he's reporting on the relative merits of products he admits he hasn't even "played with" yet, let alone fully evaluated? Worthless.

That’s a nasty accusation for someone that has been registered here for an entire week.

The consensus? iPad 2: Good. Xoom

Far too simplistic.

I have followed both (as well as the upstart "Notion Ink" lately because I am considering getting one.

Here is my take: In specs and operating system - Xoom is better - for now.

In apps - Ipad is far superior - for now.

For roll out - Ipad wins handily.

The Xoom roll-out is almost going to guarantee it will not be a serious competitor. As another poster comment who want to buy a Verizon plan just to get free WiFi. Also, the added features are not enough even though they are comparable to the most expensive Ipad don't justify the purchase. Essentially, Motorola wrote off everyone that wants a more basic tablet (which is a big share of the Ipad market. If they wanted to be a serious competitor they needed a second model priced lower than $499.00.

Even though I am not 100% happy with the Ipad, I am going to make it my choice primarily because of the Apps.
