how dare they not put Flash on there like they promised. I love the iPad too but I think when they release a model with Zoom, I will have to get one.

I very rarely feel like I am missing anything on ipad without the flash. I mean yeah I'd prefer to have it

that thing looks amazing. How much are they starting out at?

Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc's Xoom tablet will sell for an unsubsidized $799 at Verizon Wireless, with WiFi-only version priced at around $600 price, chief executive Sanjay Jha said on Wednesday.

"Competing with Apple you have to deliver premium products," Jha said, adding Xoom software was also upgradable.

Motorola is a latecomer to the surging market for tablet computers, which was created by Apple's iPad last year, and is expected to reach total sales volumes of around 50 million units this year.

Jha said nearly all Motorola products will use Google's Android software this year, which could get a boost from Nokia's pact to start using Microsoft's software.

Flash on the iPad and iPhone would be nice, but many websites are converting to HTML5, which is supported. I use my iPad 4-6 hours a day and very rarely run into an issue because it does not support flash. Your own mileage may vary.

The Xoom looks pretty cool and will sell like crazy. I think the iPad 2, which might be announced Tuesday, March 2nd will give it a run though. If it's anything like the new line of MacBooks launched last week, then look out. I wish I knew someone with an Xoom, so I can compare.
