well i am an android app developer and was present at google I/O this year(2011). I was in your position a few weeks ago and went with the xoom for a few reasons. here are the major ones: A. motorola promised to send out software updates up to 18 months after the products release (if the hardware supports it) to the latest software while toshiba hasn't. B. The micro SD card slot is now functioning on the latest Xoom update android 3.2 and with elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader (Black) on my keys it makes life a breeze C. as for the USB port you can just use that tiny adapter as its sub hope this helps

Great minds think alike; I have also narrowed my search to these two systems and was hoping to find an answer on this board to help me make the decision. MB

Windows store has a pretty good selection of apps. For example, my recent favourite is 6tag (instagram client). I usually find whatever I need, and the tile UI is nice. Fyi, I'm also Ipad user so I can compare :)

Hi, I'm still waiting for both the case and the thrive to arrive. However there is two Customer Reviews about the thrive already:http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AN8CRI5P7BH6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004JQN670&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;=http://www.amazon.com/review/R141RA9BANFZQZ/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004JQN670&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;=

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

I like some of the features of Lotus Symphony better than Open Office, but you can have both on your machine so why not?http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home

That is a VERY subjective question... My simple answer is "It depends"... it depends on what you're looking for and what your use-case is for the interface...

Coby uses it's own affiliated store (SlideME). It's good, but it's not nearly as big as Google play.it is good enough though for the basics, and is growing. The advantage is that anything there will work with the Kyros. You can also download from "private company" sites and install manually. It cannot download from any other location without hacking the tablet.

Glad to be helpful :) Actually, the SlideMe app is better than the AppBrain one, because AppBrain still needs to have the Android Market's presence in order to allow you downloading anything. SlideMe, on the other hand, is completely independent and therefore, works much much better.

That's what I use mine with, it fits perfectly no issues with the Xoom at all. I was worried with the weight but it's perfect. One thing you might have to do is mine came with the screws covered by the rubber pads a bit too tight so I had to loosen them a little to free up the spring but it's perfect aside from that.

The new update is still bloated and slow. Half the apps dont work in the market. VEGAN is still the best way to go. Fast customizable and free. I would stick with the ROMs if your able to put the on.

I installed pokki a while ago. But it started behaving like a malware slowing down my computer. A nice UI doesn't necessarily translate to a light efficient product. I could have installed others such as start8, but I lost trust in these free apps and got used to what Windows provide. Now I like it. It is far more intuitive.

I am buying the creative W. From looking at a competitor's website, it appears the the archos has less choices for download possibilities. In other words, the creative W has more choices. I am buying for the image viewing and mp3, but I want the capability of watching videos in the future
