Quote from Eddiefl:
Chinese clones? Is there a brand you can give us.
What are we talking about, some custom/stolen jobs. Same type of place where you call 2 months later with a question and the shop is now a shoe factory/sanyo refurbisher, haha,
The Xoom has better components out of any company that has an "800" number that wont be turned off in 3months.

First, I recycle all of my work (heavy use) computers every 12 to 18 months so long warranties aren't a concern to me.
I've tested a bunch of new tablet PC's and the HP Slate is the best so far for a slate type.
I own an HP TX2Z, AMD 2.4 Dual Core, 8GB Ram, 500GB HD & Win 7 Ultimate 64bit that is stellar for a Laptop/Touch combo.
I just received the EXO PC (Canadian made slate type) today and am really impressed. (Jury still out until I abuse it for a week or so)
After the HP the Nav 9 (slate type) from Netbook Navigator is next in line. Its a solid well built tablet.
I like the ePad (slate type) from China but don't like the HD (SSHD's preferred).
I will not make a permanent commitment to a slate type tablet until I can have; Multi-touch, a 128GB SSHD, 4GB+ DDR3 RAM, a minimum dual core Intel or i3 processor, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit compatible, dual cameras, WiFI +N, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB 2.0 & USB 3.0 ports.
This slate type will happen and should be released by Summer.
Just so you know, the Xoom, like most tablet PC's are built in China.
