The Xoom though was supposed to be an iPad killer. It was Moto's attempt at breaking into the tablet market. It wasn't meant to be a niche thing for rich people, like a Rolls or Bentley, it was supposed to provide competition for the iPad. It failed.
Yeah, it's a nice tablet (not as nice as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 however), but it's still a failure.”

It's a failure because they made it a failure. If there targets were realistic (not to be the next iPad) the Xoom then might have a chance.
