You are taking a PR beating right now, and not just from the phandroids and isheep of the message boards. Most independent tech sites (cnet, pc mag, etc) are highly critical of your pricing strategy, all of which stems from a scanned advertisement from a third party retailer. Either confirm or deny this ad (which had numerous spelling mistakes), or sit back and watch bloggers continue to run wild with potential misinformation and sensational headlines.
If the price really is $800, so be it, but make sure that the general public knows that they shouldn't benchmark the xoom against the entry level ipad. tell the general public why the pricing makes sense.
Don't let this ruin the positive momentum for the xoom and honeycomb. Take back control of the message instead of having it written for you. overwhelming negative publicity is not doing you or your potential customers any favors.
