[Xoom General] seven2099:
Since I work with the both the Xoom, Iconia and Transformers as well as countless mobile devices every single day...

I will say,

Iconia =

best sound/connectivity

but large and cumbersomb (owned one of these and gave it back.

Screen is OK, less colors than Xoom or TF

Beautiful back panel

Heaviest device of all, but.. and GIANT but.. best balance of all components, so it feels lighter than the Xoom when comparing both.

Amazing dev community

Horrible front camera placing and angle

Stock experience with the auto-rotate switch BLOWS balls.. (i'll explain if someone asks)

Microphone sucks, no noise cancellation

Horrid hardware decoding for Video, biggest issue with this device imo

Transformer =

Nice screen,

terrible build quality, feels plastic-y and frail.

IS plastic-y and frail (not hating, just the truth)

Biggest ding for me is build quality since it is truly a cheap device. (What else can you expect)

Giant screen bezel, looks retarded to me (HUGE) and the device creeks when handled (this is a giant WTF)

Sound sucks on this thing... but its hard to compare something like that to the Iconia, where the sound is amazing for its size. Even the Xoom sound is better.

Mediocre hardware decoding for Video, supports meh amount of formats

Xoom =

washed out screen,

Screen Ghosting issues (Most Xoom owners are in denial but it can be easily proven and then they feel sad),

meh sound,

AMAZING build quality and formfactor, feels super quality and is rugged (have dropped my own, zero scratches).

Best microphone vs output sound performance and BEST dock sound (using EQ and other things).

Best camera of all 3 devices by a long shot.

Best hardware decoding for Video, supports large amounts of formats, more than Iconia and TF.

Having compared these things...

Things I like more about the Transformer and regret about the Xoom

Transformer = way more active dev community. Xoom community is pretty lame tbh.

The screen is more vibrant and has ZERO ghosting

Transformer dock is nice, but at a low end price the build quality issues are to be expected and of course there are many present in this device. The device definitely feels worn after some heavy use simply because its a cheap device.

Having said that, the TF vs the xoom, the Xoom is pristine after over a month of usage.

The Iconia though, is the best one off, due to the awesome backplate and great build quality. Probably the most rugged of all the 3.

For 100 dollars more than the Transformer and an Iconia, you get a Xoom (Sometimes you can find the Xoom at the same price) and in my opinion, apart from build quality issues and the dead Xoom dev community, there is only one reason why the Xoom is better than all other devices :)

As for the video decoding thing mentioned above: This is mainly a software thing mainly because Iconia and TF use NVidia Kernel and Xoom uses Google Kernel, none the less.. still an issue out there.

Also, although most people hate on the Xoom's docks and what not, for the price they cost. The Xoom's audio dock is actually.... actually quite good. Loud and has great bass and if you EQ it right sounds great and worth every penny. Love that it uses a standard power bar from Motorola that works with other Moto devices.

The Xoom is a Google experience Android device, and therefore we don't have to even wait to get our hands on the latest and greatest when the devs are active.

ICS will come to the Xoom before any other tablet out there... that alone made me return my Iconia, and go with the Xoom :)
