8ta Motorola Xoom deal

[azbob]

Hi

8ta have the Xoom with 10GB per month for R340. Is this a good offer? How does the Xoom fare against the rest? Or should I rather get one of the Asus tablets?

Thanks.

No one? No one has a Xoom? Or has this special? No one at all?

Well since you have a registered business, can you get me one also? .

I don't. A friend is willing to get it for me. So I guess it's a good deal?

Haha i'm not too concerned with how "powerful" a tablet is etc etc, just want something powerful enough to do basic tablet functions on and priced right.

Maybe next time . Just checked my iPhone usage and since November 2010 I've used 11GB. Don't know how I'm going to use 10GB a month.

As for the xoom, seems pretty decent. Only thing disadvantage is that it doesn't charge via USB but I knew that already. Also slightly thick and heavy but only if you've used a galaxy tab or iPad before.

Agreed - and I have a Xoom and I think that it is great !

And mine was just upgraded to Android 4 - Ice Cream Sandwich !

True, but because of that it charges 3x as fast as an iPad !

How'd you upgrade ? I selected system update and it installed Android 3.2 only. Do you manually install ICS?

Edit : I see you have to root it to get ICS. Not sure I want to do that yet.

 

[Park@82]

pretty good deal, any catch? except for oob charges?

 

[MartyMarts]

Knew I should have waited :/ Pretty good deal imo

Now if I already have the 8.ta 10GB bundle but want to purchase the device only... what are my options?

So what documents do they need? I'm gonna get a friends company to help me out here
