I find it amusing that the mighty iPad killer Motorola Xoom intro is slated at 700,000 to 800,000 units. Meanwhile, when the iPad came out, one million sold in 28 days, and last quarter over 7.33 million flew off the shelves. Not sure how they plan to accomplish this iPad killing business. (g)

"Motorola Xoom, which is slated to manufacture 700,000 to 800,000 units." Yeah, that's going to be a good week of iPad sales this quarter. The real problem for Xoom fanbois who care about market share is the pricing. At $700-800, it's higher than the reported average selling price of the iPad in Apple's most recent quarter ($625, I think it was). Clearly, the low end model at $500 was far and away Apple's most popular iPad.
