The combo was way cheaper than any laptop I've ever purchased. But anyway, I seriously don't care much about the hardware specifications ("underpowered", "small"). I'm exclusively interested in the new software ideas, which are 100% unavailable on traditional desktops and laptops.
> Still not too attractive for any real use, let alone coding.
I disagree. I spend way more time on my Xoom than I do on any other device (discounting time when coding, since I agree with you on that one point). The software is very compelling, I love the new paradigms (no manual saving, simple UIs, etc) that pretty much don't exist elsewhere.
Also, please note, I've mentioned before that I'm talking exclusively about the future in attempts to extrapolate from my current setup. I'm aware that the current hardware/software combo isn't up to the task. But it's a combo that's existed for less than a year, and I think the upcoming years will bring exciting changes that make the use cases very attractive.
