I'm probably going to get one because I've held out on a tablet since the iPad, but damn it's such a minute upgrade. They won't even mention the RAM it has (probably because it has the same ridiculously low 256MB) and it seems like every one of these upgrades could have been included on the original, except maybe the new form factor. It seems like Apple intentionally left those off of the original in order to tout them as "magical" for the second generation.

And Will, touting the cameras as a reason to buy it is ridiculous. They made no mention of the resolution of the back camera and the front facing camera is VGA. Really? VGA?? A low resolution 4:3 display? The iPhone has a resolution that is comparable to this. On specs, the Xoom blows this thing out of the water.
