How does it hold up to those "4" then running honeycomb
Actually, Motorola's Xoom is the first Honeycomb tablet, and it was just released earlier in the week. Reviews for it have been somewhat underwhelming. There are a lot of good things about it, but: the is only a 3G version available right now (no wifi, but it is coming). The UI is different - some like it some hate it. The screen isn't as sharp as would be expected for the price. The price is higher than the iPad. Apparently there were a few crashes of apps, not atrocious, but more than would be expected. And the app store is still too new for there to be many apps.

I was hoping the Xoom would be more of an option, but right now it seems like it would be better to wait for a software update and those seem to be on 5 month cycles. So while it may turn out to be as good or better than iPad2, the current incarnation appears to have been a bit rushed.
