Xoom vs. iPad
This is a truly great comparison of the Xoom and the iPad that I found over at Droid Life. I’ve seen others try to compare the Xoom to the iPad 2, but trying to do that is completely unrealistic as there currently are no released specifications for that device. Any comparison would be complete guess work. It’s worth noting that even the most optimistic of these comparisons only bring the iPad into the range of “comparable” to the Xoom, but they’re still guessing. When Apple releases the specifications, then we can start making that comparison.
