Pricing an Android tablet at greater than $400 is rediculous. The iPad is not the competition. The competition is the full sized laptop as a tool for the non-jet setter and business. If they can get a full sized laptop with camera, wifi, and infinite more memory for half the price then XOOM has missed the mark.
Apple iPad is not capable of doing the custom work required for business execs. Android Honeycomb is. In the war of tablet OSs Android has already won with an open source concept. It is now time for device makers to do their job and get devices in front of the public and developers to build the real business apps that handle fullfilment. Over pricing will be XOOM failure.
