Yes, it does say that, and has said that for the past 6 hours. heh.
Comment - Is connecting to WiFi from Windows really as hard as MacDonalds claims?

I own an Internet Cafe, and you are spot on about the propitiatory WiFi software, It makes my job 10x more difficult, Normally i try and convince the customers to let me switch it over and let windows control the Wireless, but some are convinced that it will cause their machines to stop working.
Comment - If you're a video junkie buy iPad 2, because Galaxy Tab 10.1 isn't for you

Did you do any research at all? this is not a Galaxy 10.1 issue at all but a Honeycomb issue, Browser detecting mobile sites? there are only a billion fixes for that that you can find with a simple google search, Don't use the stock browser is one, Dolphin HD works brilliantly. Hulu And Netflix not supported? Again, not a Galaxy 10.1 problem... but a honeycomb problem, If you want to complain about these things thats fine... because they are an issue with HONEYCOMB, not with the galaxy.

Ps. I don't own a Galaxy, I do own a Xoom,
Comment - 100,000 Motorola XOOMs sold isn't bad, it's good

I'm not sure where you get the notion that flash doesn't work, or doesn't work well on the Xoom, I installed Flash 10.2 on my Xoom the day it came out, and have had zero problems with it, The only flash app that has not worked, is letting websites control the camera via Flash. The fact that the SD Slot doesn't work yet is definately a PITA, But i'm really getting sick of people deriding the Xoom for flash not working (it does) and lack of apps, Right now, i can do everything on my Xoom that I did on my iPhone, Sure I couldn't use all the same apps that I did on my iPhone, but I found others bewteen the Marketplace and Amazon App Store that did the same job.

I wish people would stop being Apple fanboys, or Google fanboys and be damn objective, The Xoom is just as capable as the iPad/iPad 2, and if you all would take off your Apple coloured glases you might see that.

Is it Better than the iPad/iPad2? No, because they are DIFFERENT DEVICES, I don't see one as being better or worse than the other, The Xoom (or honeycomb tabs in general) have more of the features that a lot of people do want, but the iPad/iPad 2 is a much more polished device, partly because it does have an almost 2 year head start.
Comment - Verizon subsidizing Motorola XOOM, LTE upgrade will be free

I'd definately wait to get one until April when the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 should be out and see what the price is on that, The geek in me wants to go out and buy a Xoom on release day, but for those prices... I think not.
Comment - Refurbished PCs: When used is better than new

Joe, if you are buying shortly after Christmas, then a lot of the "refurbs" are holiday returns. I've found that Dell's refurb selection has many 'current' models, as well as year old models for a deep discount.
