About what I expected considering the WiFi only model is not out yet

If you say so-- you were the one predicting long lines and sell outs for the 3G/4G Xoom.

The numbers I heard was something of the order of 5:1 ratio in favor of the wifi only.

That sounds about right to me. AT&T activated only 500K tablets (iPads + Tabs) in a quarter in which Apple sold through nearly 7 million iPads. Interesting that the Motorola's and LG's of the world are choosing to battle the iPad at the high end, instead of where the mass market is. Could be that these traditional phone manufacturers are so beholden to the US carriers that they can't risk incurring their wrath by launching a wifi version simultaneously. Regardless of the reason, they are serving up the fat middle of the market to Apple alone.
