Is Motorola’s Xoom an iPad Killer? Hardly.

First there was the Dell Streak, next the Samsung Galaxy Tab and now there’s the Motorola Xoom. All these “me too” offerings are trying to knock the iPad off its perch as the industry-leading (80% + market share) tablet. I won’t even mention the HP Slate or RIM Playbook because there doesn’t seem to be a way to purchase either one just yet.
The Streak and Galaxy Tab are both smaller, 5 & 7” devices running some version of Android (I get confused which version does what), so it’s fair to say they don’t really compete head-to-head with the iPad, but the Xoom makes no bones about matching or bettering the iPad spec for spec...
