There are all kinds of rumors of the next generation of this device coming out very soon. It may be in your best interest to wait either because of the price drop in the Xoom or the advantages of getting a Xoom2. I will say that I have no regretted my Xoom and that I think its a very good tablet. For all the reasons you mention, the Xoom is a good choice. I use it for all of those reasons as well.

Thanks guys for your replies.

Productivity - Word processor etc.

Hello Xoom owners,
I have been closely following the progress of the Xoom and am excited with what I'm seeing. I plan on purchasing the Wifi version when it releases in April. The reason I am interested in the Xoom is the productivity aspect of it, i.e. typing and web browsing. I'm not too worried about video playback or apps right now. My question to you is, how proficient is the Xoom in these categories? I need this tablet to be as much of a standalone device as it can be (unlike another tablet that needs to be plugged into itunes). I am happy to see usb mounting because this will help file transferring even more. I used pages on the ipad and was moderately impressed. Any opinions? How does the Xoom match up to the ipad in writing and the web?
Thanks in advance!

The Xoom has zzero productivity apps, no word processor no excel. Honeycomb will Bea great os once they get rid of the lag, until that point apple really does win because it just works. Now i have a Xoom and the I pad 2, I love them both and trying to pick which one to return is ggoing to br vvery hard.

Documents to Go is available on android and iOS platform. What makes you claim that Xoom has zero productivity apps?
I have Documents to Go and although it's not optimized for Honeycomb, I haven't had any problems with it. I'm looking forward to a tablet version but for now I don't have any complaints.

What about Google Docs? Is the standard html5 interface accessible?
I also use documents to go on the XOOM. No problems at all making word and excel docs. It also does power point, but i don't.

If it is just for the "I need a word processor NOW" effect then go with the iPad. From what I've heard the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps are pretty sweet. If you want a great overall experience of a real OS, however, you should stick with the Xoom. I love how I can play around with it. And since I have no urgent need to write a lot or crunch numbers on the Xoom (that's what I have my laptop for for now) I will wait until something really effective comes out. For now I'm stuck with the Documents To Go which is very basic but at least I can open and view documents decently. Yes, it's the paid version.

HAHA! I would say what you get from D2G in regards to PowerPoint is more comparable to a very pathetic "PDF" version of a .ppt(x) file. No animations, picture effects are messed up, etc. BUT, if you have plain and simple presentations you can view them OK.

It doesnt match up at all. You just have to be patient, or go with the ipad. I chose the latter, but I'm impatient.

No netflix thru the browser because Netflix uses silverlight which has no android port.
I have no problem waiting for the word processing to get better on the xoom. I'm not planning on writing papers on this thing, maybe just rough drafts but it needs to have something. Probably going with the xoom, just having second thoughts after seeing the ipad 2.

Okay i e-mail quickoffice to see if they're offering a honeycomb version of their suite
they made a tablet version specifically for notion ink adam as shown here:
so here what they said
"Hi Kam,
Quickoffice is indeed available on the Motorola XOOM. The app ships preinstalled on the device, and is currently available in view-only mode. Quickoffice for Honeycomb will be available soon, offering editing functionality as well. Please stay tuned!

Give me some reasons why I should get a Xoom and trade my iPad 2

I want to hear from Xoom users some advantages on getting the Xoom. I currently have an iPad 2 and it's cool but there is no JB for it yet. I saw some articles on Google IO today and was amazed at the USB host support which would make it awesome for emulators.
What are some advantages you guys think would be? I currently own an Evo so I'm familiar with Android. I'm more interested in knowing the cool things you can do with it. I found someone in CL who is interested in trading his Xoom for my iPad 2. Thanks.
Reason #1, it gets you away from Kool-Aide drinking mac-bots who think everything has to be white.
Anyone else have a constructive response?

Those of us who show our loyalty to google will be rewarded with land and women once the takeover is complete.
Additionally, flash is neat, USB hosting, I'm fairly siked about google music. Greater customization. I'd wait to see how 3.1 runs but it looks very promising in the dev notes.
you are not bound to itunes, you can customize your UI, your notifications wont interrupt you, its positioned to be compatible with a ****load of other devices, hdmi ready, amazon and sony love android

How is that not contructive? Apple confines you to their standards. Time to open up and do what the user wants to do....Coca-cola taste a ton better than Kool-Aide
Best advice I can give you is just read the reviews and see if you like it. Seriously read up.

dunno why you need convincing ... just check out the features and play with one at a best buy.
Is Google Body available for the Xoom? I'm interested in that. I'll still have my 1st gen iPad so I don't mind trading it in. Are their any cool things you can do with it like connecting bluetooth devices, etc?
One thing I hate about the iPad 2 is the camera. I took a picture of my daughter up close and it was so blurry I thought she was a UFO. I think it's rated at under 1MP.

I played with one at Best Buy but it was molested beyond recognition. There was so much stuff scattered all over the screen I didn't have the patience to look through it. I wanted input from someone who owns it and has played with it for over a month.
Are the apps catching up? What I mean by this is are there a lot of tablet apps out yet or just phone apps.

Plenty of tablet apps and "tegra HD" apps available.
Also, pretty much every app I've tried that didn't specify Honeycomb support worked anyways. the "HD" games are spectacular (youtube "pinball HD honeycomb" ... it's 2.99 USD (2.84 CDN haha) and it rocks.
multitasking, much better webexperience than safari, flash support

Starting a thread like this is just to fan the flames of fanboyism. Don't come on this forum and try to stoke fires. Go try them out and make your own decisions.
I actually purchased the Ipad 2 and received it about 2 weeks ago. It took me less than a week to call Apple and request and return package. I then went into Best buy and purchased a Xoom.
Here are the reasons why:
- FLASH: I watch videos online all the time, and most of them are sites that use flash
- Being able to just download a mp3, an image, or even videos right from the browser and save it wherever I want to
- Being able to open the downloaded file with the app I want
- Being able to connect my Xoom to my PC at work and transfer whatever file I want
- Being able to customize my homescreen to my liking
- Notifications
- Widgets (I just hated that fact that I always had to go to the settings to activate bluetooth or wi-fi for example
- Now with Honeycomb 3.1 announced, I'm really not regretting buying the Xoom

Thanks. I'm going to pull the trigger and do the trade. I still have an iPad 1st gen so I can fall back on the apps I love like Netflix. Hopefully they hack other OS's on the Xoom like Linux. Thanks for all the positive responses from the few of you who weren't just looking to increase your post count.

In short, it's not quite a slick as the iPad 2 and there are nowhere near enough tablet specific apps, but imo the browser is better, it's more customizable, google maps is far better as is the multi-tasking. But you should know that HD videos will require re-encoding due to the Tegra2 chip and it's limitations.
I think the biggest reason you have already mentioned in your post.
Jail-break.
iPad2 is a Jail. It needs to be broken.
I used to be an iPhone user (3GS and 4G).
I am sick of being told you should do things this way and if you don't , you are screwed.
Xoom and all other android device brings me "freedom" in what I OWN.
Specifically in terms of functions
0. Flash
1. You get much better camera (5mp back, 2mp front facing)
2. You have the rights to root it, install customized roms/themes
3. You can install third party apps freely.
4. You can flash kernels to overclock your CPU to 1.5Ghz while iPad 2 is stuck at 1G max
5. You have strong Dev community to create stuff. as long as there is a need. Apparently it requires certain level of computer proficiency but from what you mentioned, you definitely have it.
6. You have google rolling out more and more exciting updates and with an open source concept, the market share of Android will bypass iOS by much and developer community will definitely notice this part of the market and create apps (commercial apps) around it.
7. many apps you know what is going on because you can see source code.
8. To someone who may worry that iPad apps are more than Honeycomb apps, I think at the current rate of brining new apps to platform, it wont be a problem a few months later at all.
9. Oh, you can install and dual boot Ubuntu in it.

I hope it was suppose to be a joke.
I'm not looking at promoting myself. Was just telling people about myself. It's a hardware enthusiast community and hardware reviews. It's MUCH smaller than XDA.
I wanted to drop by here to learn a bit more about the Xoom's and the Honeycomb OS. I'm a pretty hardcore PC guy, but have always leaned towards Apple and their offerings when it came to Tablets, and phones. (Man I'm going to get a lot of flack for this) I picked up the Xoom, and I am pretty happy with it so far.
xcpus.com one of the most reputable sites on extreme overclocking, show some repect oomskaap, maybe you can learn something.
@Michael, welcome bro, I'm from OCF and there is quite a lot of exciting stuff here, look under the Xoom development section for unlocking/rooting procedure as well as some custom kernals
>xcpus.com one of the most reputable sites on extreme overclocking
Nitrogen-cooled Xoom, when?
Welcome bro.
Get SyncSMS in the themes and apps section under Xoom.
Get Dropbox
Get Zinio
Get Emulators
Etc.
Nice website, I'm liquid cooling fan myself, will keep track of your site for my next upgrade.
Back to the Xoom, I use my mainly as media consumption device.
Pluse, News 360 for news.
Plex for stream video from pc, much easier than converting and storing them on the device.
DoggCatcher for audio and video pod casts.
Thumb keyboard (make typing much easier).
Folder Organizer (nice folder creation).
Data counter widget keep track of your 3G and WIFI usage.

Transformer: Ask Before Buying

Hi all!
I'm really really near to buy an Asus Eee Pad Transformer..
I will use this tablet for:
Offline GPS when driving
Remote connect to my PC (at home) to programming while not at home (example at university)
Drawing on it if it's possible
Surf Web, send email and so on
Playing some android games
But..I've got a few questions about it:
Using it for drawing it's possible?
Dual-boot with Ubuntu/Debian without losing warranty?
Future update to Android Ice Cream without rooting?
What about battery substitution?
Wait for Transformer2 to have a lower price?
Wait for PadFone to compare?
Thanks in advance to anyone that would respond
bruuuno said:

Yes, no as accurate as a tablet or paper though
Dual-boot with Ubuntu/Debian without losing warranty?
No linux just yet
Future update to Android Ice Cream without rooting?
Who knows
What about battery substitution?
Its not removable, you can buy the dock though
Wait for Transformer2 to have a lower price?

no way to know this yet
What about battery substitution?
not user changeable.

but then you'll want the tf2 and be waiting for the tf3. It's a vicious cycle
Wait for PadFone to compare?

Thanks for the quick answers
I would like to know how is drawing with this tablet..

How can you do offline GPS? Google maps requires data connection.
Use Navigon or Sygic Aura from the market, at a price. Check out the Android apps forum, I vaguely remember seeing something about a way to use Google nav offline.

Go to craiglist or kijiji and look for a used ipad 1.
You probably won't have a working GPS in a tablet for $200 to $250. I previously owned the Barnes and Noble Nook Color but sold it to get the transformer. You can install CM7 OS on it or Honeycomb and it was great. I believe most will say that for $250 it is the best bang for the buck. Especially when build quality and screen quality are important. It really was a great device I just wanted something that would play flash well in the browser so I figured the TF would since its a Tegra 2 processor. But boo, it sucks too. The Nook was handy being a little smaller too. But for me the keyboard dock won me over.

I've done quite a bit of research on forums about the flash in browsers and it is NOT flawless. You seem to be the only person saying that it is working perfectly.
I'm not talking about the youtube app. That is NOT flash. It's html5.
720P in the browser plays okay, but it does not play smooth by any means.
Do this test on youtube in your browser.
youtube.com/my_speed (since I can't post links yet I took out the www so just add that back in the beginning)
Hit the 'show video' link and tell me what your frame rates are at 720p.
If you have a frame rate of 30fps or more, then you're very lucky that Asus sent you the only transformer with hardware decoding in your browser. But somehow I doubt that.

[Q] Im getting the nexus 10 for christmas

Im getting the nexus 10 for Christmas and at my high school we can use computers,tablets etc. But are there any good office apps like word or one note type things. Or is there any news of Microsoft apps. Thank you and i pray the light-bleed inst that bad. And is there any news of good keyboard docks?
First, stop listening to people *****ing about light bleed, it's not that big of an issue in the grand scheme of things.
As for office programs, there are half a dozen half decent ones you can buy, one of the guys in the XOOM forum did a pretty in depth review of most of them (I believe it was funnycreature) do a search and have a read of that, then make your choice.
From my experience, you might need to buy more than one to get everything done, this of course can get a little costly with the suits costing £10 or so each.

I don't think that there will be a keyboard dock like you know it from the Asus transformer line. You'll have to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Go to the accessories section. There are some threads about cases. There are also some cases with integrated Bluetooth keyboards.

I've been on this forum allot lately because i want this tablet to be the best experience it can possibly be on the school side, media consumption and just regular gaming + internet use. BUT I've been hearing many complain about having to reboot and many other issues. Will this tablet be a good choice overall or should i just get a ipad due to the best app store ever.
If i do proceed in getting this tablet what should i do first? And should i update to the new os or keep the stock rom? Will cynogen mod be the best bet even though many are having difficulties. I would love to hear everyone's:confused feedback.

QO does not have a trial version anymore - we discontinued it at version 4.1. Our viewer will be preloaded on the stock 4.2 Android OS, so you'll be able to see it in action a little.
If you have specific file types that you need tested, go to help.quickoffice.com, and send us an example file or two and we'll test it and list any issues we come across before you choose to purchase.

I'm using CM 10 on the HTC One S and Samsung Galaxy 3 and stock Android on the Nexus 7 & 4. I don't really see a huge difference except for the fact that CM10 has a lot more customization.
If it boiled down to choosing one for a Nexus device, I'd choose stock Android because I dont use most of the customization (unless it's UI stuff, which I can use a launcher for) and I'm not allowed to access my corporate account from the CM 10 device. If I wasn't using a Nexus device, I'd stick with CM 10 to get rid of bloatware.
I'm not sure if that really helps all that much, but that's where things stand for me.
