Dave needs a good antler-slap.
I also liked his hoop jumping with the: “…the 32 gigabyte $599 Motorola Xoom tablet gives the iPad a real run for its money in cost: It is a full $130 cheaper (if you shell out for a a required Verizon data plan) than the similarly sized $729 iPad 3G, which has an optional data plan for an additional price.”
So $1,114 (XOOM! + 24 Month data plan + Activation fee) < $729?
If you pay more, it’s cheaper!
