Here's a fun tidbit for you: I really like the Motorola Xoom. The web browsing is fantastic, email is great, the notification bar is tops and, well, Verizon's service rocks. It's tad pricey but in my mind it's still a great tablet. Is it better than an iPad? Well, not really, but it scores major bonus points for advancing the userexperienceof a tablet thanks to Google's Honeycomb.However, it doesn't matter what I think.Apparentlyit's not selling well with early estimates putting the Xoom's sales numbers around 100,000. That's about how many iPad 2s sold the first couple minutes it was available. The whole thing just smells of failure from all angles. This wasn't just one man's fault. Everyone had a hand on pushing the Xoom over the edge and into the barren world of niche gadgets. So who killed the Xoom? Everyone.
