xoom? ipad2? another one?

So what do you guys think? I've been thinking about getting one, and lean towards the xoom because I have a droid. I like the droid, but not sure about the xoom. Looking for something for business purposes.

I was checking out the Xoom in Costco the other day. Very very nice. I haven't seen anything about the iPad 2 yet but personally I'm moving away from Apple. Our next smartphone will be Android based.

Which phone do you have and do you like it?

I have the original motorola droid and its been great. I've had two problems with it nothign major. Once one of my lovely daughters knocked it out of my hand and it landed on our gravel drive way. I was glad I had the insurance. The other was a speaker issue that cleared up when I cleared the cache. I'm glad I didn't listen to the VW tech and do a system reset.

I've been looking at the HTC Inspire (http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/4065). We'll probably end up sticking with ATT as their service has been pretty good and apparently we can get our unlimited data plan grandfathered in. 50 bucks isn't too bad either. I don't need the latest and greatest, just something a bit better than my 3gs

Here's some hands-on with the iPad 2

iPad 2 looks amazing BTW. That is my vote.

Abacus? Commodore 64? Quickbooks Pro?

The days of playing on the commodore 64....Amazing graphics;)

I need something that I can process credit cards and Squareup.com has a cool app that uses the headphone jack port and it works pretty well. There are other apps that I want to get, that are only on the droid and not on the apple.

The Toshiba tablet that will be out this spring looks amazing and better than both the xoom or the ipad2.

HaHa! I remember when we met up in Philly at the Childrens Museum and you asked if I texted and when I said no you looked at me like I was a Neanderthal.

I've an iPad (army issued) that I don't use much. Great for all the publications I need to have, but other than that it's uses are limited. Apple does a good job at not allowing you have full reign over the device you own. Want to put files on your device? You HAVE to have iTunes which is completely bloated at a wopping 85MB file. Seriously.

Being an Android geek myself, I would suggest an Android tablet. More control over it. Just my 2 cents.
