With 80,000 Ipad apps compared to 50 is a major difference. That averages out to about 6153 apps a month. With the Xoom being out since Feb you have to ask why there are so few apps. As far as optimized goes it does make a difference on the Ipad. An iphone app not optimized for the ipad is blurry. I'm not saying the Xoom is a lousy tablet. It is not. consumer reports recently rated it as good as the Ipad 1. The lack of apps could be for many reasons. for example app creators don't see the Xoom selling as well as the Ipad 1 or 2, and may decide to write apps for the device that will give them a higher profit. You could have the greatest tablet ever made, but if you have a lack of app support it could very well fail.I hope it doesn't. Competing devices is a good thing.If you your leaning toward to the Xoom thats cool. And if you buy one, please come back and let us know about your experiance. The more we disscuss the various tablets, the more we learn about the good and bad things of each type.</blockquote>
