Honeycomb tablet price wars

When I chose to get the Motorola Xoom, everybody was saying that it was expensive for it's line. I would agree perhaps on the 3G version but not on the WiFi only one.

When the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 came out, everybody was excited (so as me) because it was slim and sleek, but no one criticized it for the price, after checking the price, it turned out that the WiFi version has the same price of the Motorola Xoom WiFi only.

It may be slimmer, but it lacks the port that I was looking for, for it to be a laptop replacement. Partly they were right, because the Galaxy Tab 10.1 did aim for the slimness of the iPad2, and so as the lack of ports. Now, Samsung is coming out with adapters that will go into the universal port of the Tab, just for it to have USB hosting capabilities (which incidentally came out with the Android 3.1 update). As with the Motorola Xoom, well, I'm still looking for the micro to full-sized USB adapter (which does not cost as much as the Tab adapter).
