Not "getting" the Xoom. Though nice display:
1. Over $900 out of pocket (one way or another)
2. No USB host
3. Microsd is gimped and Moto is waiting on a Xoom specific patch from Android.
4. Did I mention it is $900 out of pocket?
5. About a month delay for Flash
gTablet with same chipset, has USB host, less than half the price and already mature with XDA community. For $150 less than that, I have a gTablet and a 64gb iPod 4. Not to mention can tether with my Incredible and not pay a high data plan.
Viewsonic blew it:
Viewsonic could have had HUGE sales with the gTablet and all they needed to do was embrace a few folks from XDA and use their talents. Heck, Viewsonic even posted at XDA and were aware of the efforts there.
Are Archos and Viewsonic ran by the same nuts?
