Guarantee an upgrade? On a Samsung device? Bwahahahaha! Oh, now that’s some funny stuff there!

Still overpriced, especially considering iPad 1 is $399. I would never buy an *Pad or *Pad2, but got to thank them for the price competition this time.

If the price is $199 with 2 year contract for wi-fi only, what exactly am I under contract to Verizon for?

Anyone else here think that Verizon and wireless carriers are the ones holding back Android devices like the XOOM and the Gtab?

Full retail is 500? Sad. Contract should be 100-150 and full retail about 300 vs. your other market options today. If the XOOM is actually coming at 539 this offering is laughable at best.

VZW is too little too late with those prices. If they had not been so stupid and made those avail on a contract sooner, more might have been shipped.

Now if only they had a reasonable data plan. $20 (for only 1GB!!!) x 24 months is still another $480 on top of your phone’s plan.

My situation is somewhat unique. With the Bluetooth keyboard, I can do almost everything I need for work on my XOOM. When I actually go to work, I’m in a classroom most of the time or in meetings. I haven’t been in my office at work this semester. The office I actually use is at home. The XOOM works great for my needs: online class management, email, basic MS Office (Documents to Go), web-surfing, and reading/highlighting a lot of PDFs (RepliGo Reader), etc. About the only thing I need a PC for is statistical analysis software: SPSS, LISREL, and R. I hope I haven’t bored you to tears trying answer your question, and I hope this helps. Let me know if you’ve got more questions.

2nd-gen GTab? Honeycomb or GTFO.

Michael, has your Xoom replaced your laptop in regards to work functions?? Thats something I am wondering about when purchasing a Xoom. How happy are you with typing, work funtions/tasks and at work?? I know you stated that you leave your work laptop at the office but what can you suggest as possible improvements to take over a laptop for work and play in your opinion??

I would love to see a mildly revised 2nd-gen Galaxy Tab in the same formfactor, since I really like the feel of the current Tab. Or at the very least, drop the original Tab down to Nook Color pricing levels AND announce solid plans for a Gingerbread update in the near future.

My wish list for a 2nd-gen 7″ Tab:

-Gingerbread (if not Honeycomb)
-Wi-fi ($300-$350ish) AND WWAN ($400ish) versions available at launch
-Black rear panel instead of white
-At least 512mb RAM + 1.2Ghz CPU
-16GB (like the GSM Tabs) internal storage + microSD slot
-Improved cameras (or at least the rear one)
-Some kind of standard HDMI output like my DX
-MICRO-USB connector for syncing and charging (no proprietary crap–my NC charges with any old Moto microUSB charger, so why do no other tablets?)
-Battery life at least as good as the original Galaxy Tab
-Full HID support over BT

As both a XOOM and a Tab owner, I really think the Tab gets a bad rap. I really like both devices and after some time with Honeycomb, I think the Tab hold its own with Froyo. It’s obviously not the latest and greatest, but since I’ve owned it, my laptop hasn’t left my desk and my Kindle hasn’t… wait I don’t even know where it is. Was the Tab priced too high? Yes, it was, but I have no regrets about the purchase. I honestly believe that many people could still be happy with the Tab at this price. The majority of us gadget geeks look down on the Tab, but I think it deserves far more credit than it’s getting…
