If you want to see a glowing review....
Go to engadget.com They gush over the thing. Got email? Oh yeah, email. If I have a Blackberry I can get email. So what they have is a double buy-in. I have to have email, but I don't like or want a blackberry. No sale, Playbook.
Xoom? I tried one. For the price, it felt incredibly cheap, and the interface felt sort of meh.
General rant
The "me too!" players are suffering from cognitive dissonance regarding their attempts to be "IPad killers". They try to have better benchmarking, open source, rootable, and the like, but they are trying to apply a different paradigm to the tablet world. And generally failing at it.
When in fact, one of the biggest reasons the IPad is doing so well is because it is not that. People are looking for something simple and intuitive to use. Updates don't tend to break it. The Windowsworld legacy might have been great for giving computer jockey's jobs, but Remember that person that you love to hate - the customer? They are seriously tired of that world, and who can blame them. They have an alternative now.
And us geeks do to.
