I own both. I bought the iPad2 the day it came out... & I bought the Xoom a couple days ago. The iPad2 is sexier on the outside for sure. In typical Apple fashion, it is wrapped in its packaging & hardware like Art. The Motorola Xoom packaging is lackluster & the visual aspects of the hardware side by side with the iPad leave a lot to be desired. HOWEVER, the Xoom's Google Android Honeycomb Operating Method is far superior to the iPad2's iOS. A lot so, that the iPad2 when you use it "feels" elderly & outdated next to the Xoom. Unlike other Android touch pads I have played with, the screen slides actual smooth.
Fortunately, I am in a position where I can own both. However, in the event you are trying to choose between which to buy, it largely depends on in the event you are a mac fan. In the event you are, then the iPad is the way to go. Irrespective of how much better I tell you the Android Honeycomb Operating Method is on this Xoom tablet, it won't matter. But, in the event you are not a mac fan & looking to select the best tool for the funds, without query, at least right now, the best is the Xoom.
Motorola got it right. Nice job guys, finally something that competes & beats the iPad. However, work a tiny bit on the design of the outer shell... it could use a tiny more sexy like the iPad2.
