I cannot stand apple products. I played with an iPad at the verizon store and wanted to smash it after 5 minutes. The only thing worse is a whole computer running their OS....

Yeah, Unix is for pussies.

The closest thing he was possibly doing that would be graphics was looking at pics.

BSOD sounds software related, not hardware GPU problem. I honestly havent gotten one since Windows 98, where it was a daily occurrence

Posting from my new Xoom. Pretty neat so far and functions the way I want it to i.e it does what I tell it to do, no questions asked.

Busy night so I didn't have much time to play around with it. I'll post most information as I use it more.

I have little bias toward Android or iOS and have been testing an array of tablets and while the Xoom may have some great potential I have found that the iPad 1 or 2 is superior on almost every front. The basic principle of a tablet is they are supposed to simply just work they should fit every age group and skill level of user. Even at the highest skill level the Xoom still fails doing almost everything from rapidly connecting to networks to using Office HD while I can count on 1 finger how many times an iPad crashed or failed to load a video or connect to a network. I do like the 3d window functionality of the Xoom but thats all glitz and ritz compared to the iPad that just simply works the way it should.

Also the iPad syncs so ****** easy with cloud or cable based data it puts it into a class of its own, the Xoom amy have many apps to get it to perform like an iPad but the iPad is still the measuring stick IMO.

I am still fond of the simple 7" Samsung Galaxy with the exception of 4G (which the Xoom still does not have) I gets the job done and it just seems to be the perfect size for its purpose and its only $200.
