No way in hell I'd pay $700-800 though, especially if it's just 3G :lame

You can get the WIFI version of the Xoom from Sams for $539.

Saw somewhere that it only has 256k memory.

Alas I too cant seem to find a use for it either other than to say that I'm cooler than you.

The only tablet I have seen so far that does interest me is the dell hybrid laptop tablet

The original ipad only had 256k ram. This one will probably be max 512k. Apple doesn't usually stack shit up with ram, it's how they keep the prices down on the ipad.

What else are you going to do during a 45-min train ride? Reading a magazine is the only other thing I can think of. Sure I could do that, but only because I'm one of the few people who actually gets magazines in the mail anymore.

I would guess at least 80% of train-riders here are heads down, surfing their phone, tablet, or reader.

Why the hell would you put yourself through 45 minutes on a fucking commuter train to begin with.

Because sometimes you want to work where the money is but you sure don't want to live there.

Cuz driving would cost 3 times as much, when you take into account gas, bridge toll, and parking.

Also you can get shit done on the train, unlike when you're driving.

And you already pay for the train anyway via taxes
