GET YOUR APPLE CRAP OUTTA HERE, Lol
but yea if you have Wifi teather as USB is not an option for Such a well built device. You can get it some where around here if you don't have it now.
EDIT: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Also no there is not Extra price for Tethering, I have Sprint and have never had a problem. If you want to get better speeds right now Sprint is advertising their Overdrive for 3G and 4G speeds.

we don't like the word apple round here. apple + android = fail!

But Orange is alright

oxymoron
jk. just make sure you have unlmt data...

I'm doing that exact thing. I have not been charged (or even arrested). =P

Also, yes it does work. Works quite well actually. I got to play with a few yesterday morning before the store opened. They're nice, and I was going to pick one up, but instead I left with a couple thousand dollars worth of speakers.

This is exactly why I can't justify buying the 3G model

Thanks for the reoplies Btw apple plus android best equals best of broth worlds

Seriously, why would you buy an iPad when it is basically a slate tablet PC that does not allow you to download anything besides app store software and only stuff that carries a higher price than the same iphone apps. Don't tell me you believe that line of BS that they need to charge more for apps because the ipad has a higher resolution. Throw in the lack of gps and 3g on the current model and you have a big loser, IMHO.

If you bought an iPad, wouldn't it get really red-stained after a while? It's just a giant iPod Touch that goes onto a vajay-jay.

Very classy.

I used to think the same
I used to think the same, but not anymore. I am a PC guy, and have been for the last 15+ years. I just recently bought the iPad 2. My fiirst one! I actually got it on release day and HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN SINCE THEN! I used to have the same misconception: a gigant ipod. To me is more like a ipod/kindle/iphone/netbook/movie-music-application-gaming center. It does not replace a pc. (It was never intended to do) But it is definitely a gadget that you must try if you call yourself a geek or a "tech-guy". I love the portability and battery life!! After the Ipad I waited for the non-apple community to release something worth trying. And what did they give us?...a Galaxy Tab. *giggles* So I decided to give Apple a try, and I must say i wish i would of purchased the Ipad the first day it came out. Now Im here eating my apple ipad funny comments but happy i gave it a chance.

I still wish our heros would tether to ps3s

Yes and no, i know that their is some themes on cydia that you can download for it but as far as porting the os it probably will never happen, its just to hard to get any other os to run on an apple product. We had a hard enough time getting android on the 2g and 3g and their over 2 years old. so yes it might one day but lets be honest you probably wont still have the phone

[Q] Which phone to get? (I am sure you get this a lot.......)

At the moment I have an iphone 3GS but it is getting a bit old and beat up.
I have used the iphone since the first day it came out and about 18 months ago I moved onto the 3GS. I was expecting to get the 4.0 at first, but now I am not so sure.
I prefer to stay with AT&T and use my phone some for work. On the work side it is not much more than using Outlook and maybe reading Excel and PDF files.
I text a bit and would like a nice quality screen and processor to play games, etc. I am also thinking about getting an ipad 2, and want to be able to have a phone that I can tether and use with my ipad.
Suggestions?

You can wait for the next one in June/July, just a few months left
Edit: Welcome to XDA

Poke around the forums a bit and I'm sure you'll find a phone that fits you!!

lol, next what?
And yes, poking around is great, but at the same time is a bit overwhelming. But I guess choice is good.
I am also seriously considering a Windows phone, but I have not seen ANYONE other than the salesperson @ AT&T that has one. He loves it, but then again, he is a salesperson.
I like it for the Zune if nothing else. Worse case is I get a Zune player, but I love having my phone/music all in one.

Seems like a pretty good site.
After another visit to the AT&T store, I really can't see myself getting a Windows phone. The salesperson I spoke with went from a 3GS to a windows phone and while she says she still likes her new phone, the iphone was so much more user friendly.
She suggested I get an iphone 4 or a droid phone.
But having said all that, after playing around with them for a bit, I am liking the Axfinity from Motorola a whole lot. Between that and maybe an iphone 4.
Everyone keeps saying wait a few months for some new Android phones, but what new ones are coming that are much better than the Axfinity? And in a few months, will there be more talk of wait a few months for Xxxxxx phone?

Droid incredible.

I work for a Verizon partner and windows phones are great but I prefer motorolaa droids. The X or Thunderbolt. And moto bionic is coming soon also.

The Dinc is at end of life. My friend at my local store said he won't be recievng any more. But if I had to pick with what's out, either nexus s or the thunderbolt even though it has abysmal battery life. And you said at&t. Htc inspire is a beast of a phone. Better then the atrix IMHO.

iphone 5, you were talking about iphone, my guess is you'll be satisfied with the next

Who knows... just play with a couple at the store. If you like it, check the reviews. If you still like it, buy it. If the reviews lied and it sucks, eBay it, and try again. Repeat until you find one you like.

Motorola's update issues aside, I love it. Got the UK 3G version and picked up a Verizon version while in the US. Wife has that one, she is an Ipad nut but now she wont go back.
I really recomend it as long as you root and use Tiamat you cant go wrong.

Considering there's still honeycomb tablets on 3.0 and the fact that Xoom is getting this updates before anyone, I would not call that an issue at all.
The tablet has been out less than half a year and already saw two updates.
As for the OP question, I got my 3G Xoom since day one, but I would buy it again if I was on the look for a tablet today.
I had high hopes for the Galaxy Tab but the build quality feels too plasticy compared to the Xoom.
------Warning------ ThinkPad Fanboy Comment Below ------Warning------
If you like the idea of the Transformer and HTC Flyer Pen, then I would recommend you take a look at the upcoming Thinkpad Tablet
You can't beat the legendary ThinkPad keyboards with anything. Oh, and judging by the pics, the build quality seems to be on par with the ThinkPad laptops.
That is the only tablet I would consider selling my beloved Xoom for.

I had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and returned it 3 times because of screen issues, commonly known as "the 'oil slick' on the screen".
Got the Motorola XOOM and have been loving it! Feels solid and works just as good as the Galaxy Tab. Best part is, is that it receives the newest version of Honeycomb 3.x first!
I personally recommend it.
Have any questions? PM me.
PS. I'm not sure if it's because I have the US version (32GB WiFi) but I got the Android 3.2 update right when it was announced, others have been having trouble getting it.... I guess.

well i just got my xoom now =) about to try it out

Both my (total stock) Xooms upgraded to 3.2 over WiFi no issues whatsoever.

I don't currently own a tablet, was interested in the xoom but had high hopes for the Galaxy. IMO the xoom seems the better option. I'm not a fan of apple but I constantly hear the argument "There's more apps for the ipad and nothing on the xoom" how true is this statement??? what's a "killer" ipad app that's not available on the xoom? I honestly know little about it.

It was Netflix until recently, now it has to be the video calling capability in Skype.

i must say that i like the xoom, just waiting for that 3.2 update. I also dislike the ipad =P but it is true that they do have cooler apps and what not. But everything except the apps, i like the xoom better.
EDIT: For those that are getting the update (3.2) is it the wifi xoom? Cause the one i have is with the data plan, but it's gonna be cancelled since i got it from my cousin. I heard that the non-wifi xoom gets the update first

iOS kills android when it comes to apps.
Netflix, Hulu, Skype, Free last.fm without having to use hacked solutions. I'm not going to mention how many games iOS have that makes my jaw drop but xoom is still a great product.
(yes I know we just get netflix but still iOS had it for AWHILE)

HP Touchpad price dropping to $99/$149 tomorrow!

Hey guys I saw no slickdeals that the price of the HP Touchpad is dropping 300 bucks tomorrow cause they dropped it! I called to confirm and its true, I bought 3 for the full price and they 100% guaranteed that I would be given credit when the price adjust tomorrow at 7AM EST.
Heres the Slickdeals thread:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
You can either wait till tomorrow for the price drop or call in right now and pay full price and have it adjusted tomorrow morning. Some are saying the new price is live for the Academic shop but some people can't see it with .edu email addresses.
I have played with the tab in a store and I have to say for $99 this is one Hell of a steal.
Good luck.

Wow. I was expecting a liquidation, but this is remarkable. For browsing the web and random Document editing, this is an amazing price!
Does anyone know the hackability of this device? Do you think that, despite discontinuation, that the app market might become at least respectable (with xda involvement)?

I don't know about the hackability but I'll tell you this tab handles flash like a boss. Its the only one I've seen that can do 1080p youtube without a hitch. And I dunno, they are killing off the touchpad itself but they want to keep webOS alive, I don't really know what that means for webOS on the tab.

Think we can get android on this?

Uh, I've heard that someone is making progress with ubuntu but I've seen nothing on android. And its probably not gonna happen for all I know cause isn't honeycomb based on tegra?

So I can just buy this to just surf the internet? If so, I am ready to buy a couple.

I'm torn between buying it or not. If an android port was confirmed to be possible and in the works, I'd definitely buy one.

Thank you for the information I'll keep this in mind

Does anyone know what stores have lowered the price? I've been checking the usual suspect's websites and they haven't updated yet. I'd rather walk into a brick and mortar place to get it though. I don't want to wait for shipping if I don't absolutely have to.

Target and amazon both had it but they sold out in minutes. I don't know but maybe bestbuy might have it tomorrow, I say this because Bestbuy Canada had the $100 price online.

Honeycomb has been ported to the galaxy s line, galaxy tab and evo... Probably more too, I think Nook. So... Maybe it's possible?

I'm DEFINITELY buying one and I'm sure ICS can be ported to it when the time comes since the source will be released for it. This is a SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM CPU and GPU and HTC uses that for their CPU/GPUs so I don't see why it's not possible, someone would have to write a kernel from scratch though to make it smoother, just like how the HD2 has Android, but it's not perfect since it's not using it's own kernel. If someone actually takes the time to unlock the bootloader(if it isn't already unlocked) and write up a kernel for it and port ICS to it, this tablet can be badass ;D $99 Android Tablet with ICS pl0x.

Got one for $90. I mean, at that point I couldn't resist. Heck, at worst I feel like if I use it, dont like it, I can still flip it for a tiny profit on craigslist or ebay.
Im really hoping for an android port. The specs on this tab are actually quite good. Im probably going to end up keeping it regardless. I'll probably just end up using it for bedside web-browsing, movies, and music.
There's a killing to be made by porting android to this thing. thousands of people just picked up this thing on slickdeals (there are literally over 11k browsing right now). I know tons are willing to donate (im good for 10$-20$ myself depending on quality and progress)
Looking forward to a touchpad xda forum soon
