I had my eye on an Xoom, but read the reviews and it sounds like a half baked device. Plus it is more expensive, and doesn't have a wi-fi only model.

I am getting a 16GB iPad 2. I store my songs on my iphone, so only documents and movies will go on it. I can tether to my iphone when 3G needed. For $500 that is a good deal to me, especially with HDMI out.

My experience with Android is that it is really buggy, and too open for its own good. Every device has its own set of issues due to its open nature. My jailbroken iPhone is the best of both worlds, I think it is tough to beat.

Oh and Blackberry? Who cares. No apps, finally got a HTML browser, expensive, underwhelming hardware/software on their latest models. The smartest move they made is opening up to Android and that is not saying much.
