@MazdaMania: The first rational comment I've seen on this article. Pinch me.

@siwex80: I don't see how sufficient RAM and a half-way decent camera (it's not even a good camera, many smartphones have better cameras) are irrelevant to consumers. At all.

@Justin: But that was the ONLY thing you could do in the background. Not even an app media player, like Pandora, would work.

@Kritzelei: Once you've experienced how true multitasking works, you'll be amazed you ever lived without it. Imagine uploading a video in the background while you edit a tweet linking to said video, then e-mail your friends the video, then post on facebook, all while listening to pandora with two tabs loading on your…

@sygyzy: Moore's law isn't really holding true anymore as we reach the limits of microprocessing. I guess it's nice for consumers, but it sucks for technology.

@futurist: I'll take fifty -murmurs on cell-phone- make that a hundred!

@Philip.J.Fry: Valid point, you know, because the iPad was perfect in it's first generation. As was the iPhone. And seeing as how you own a Xoom you would know how well it's physical design is. Amirite?

@futurist: I'll take fifty -murmurs on cell-phone- make that a hundred!

If someone started a meme religion, I would sign up. I have faith in the all-mighty lolcat.

@4n7h0ny: I can't tell if this is a legit question or not.

@AJ: Isn't your currency stronger than ours?

Looks like awesome.

Not much hip-hop on my playlist other than Lupe and Kanye, both of whom don't make songs which are notoriously bass-heavy.

Since when is 50,000 a quarter of a million? Even the high end estimate of 200k isn't breaking a quarter of a million yet. You should probably buy a Saab so you can use the in-dash calculator. Just don't forget to download the popular "Hilton Sex Sounds" app so you can get in on the malware.

@YellowRex: That wasn't the point the OP was making, but your point is a much better one, honestly.

@Xoom-Boy: Thanks for the first hand review. The video in the post was like sex, and made me really want one. Price tag is a little too steep for me, for a tablet, however.

@hurr. pancakes: I don't understand why Apple would let their flagship tablet ship with such important features absent either.

"manipulating it requires a higher cognitive load than the iPad."

@HiAperture: They said the same of Android, and now it's surpassed both. Seems like an extremely fast-paced, volatile market ripe and waiting for the next big idea.

Great, thanks! V0-320 is pretty tight when it comes to bitrate. If it ever drops below 128, it's because there is less than that amount of data, not because it's throttling.
