Cons:

1. There is no comfortable way to hold the Xoom while using it for more than a couple of minutes.
2. It feels very heavy when holding it with one hand for more than a couple of minutes.
3. Many of the apps in the market place crash.
4. Many of the apps in the market place are designed for a small smartphone screen and only fill a small portion of the screen.
5.No micro-usb charging. Motorola makes you drag around a clunky old one-of-a-kind A/C adapter to charge the Xoom
6. The volume rocker is too flush with the Xoom, and thus it can be incredibly hard to push the buttons sometimes. You'll have your finger on the volume up or down button and swear you're pressing it, but you're not pressing it in the right spot.
7. The speakers are good, not great
8. there's a huge lack of optimized apps for it on the marketplace (like 20 or so). A lot of the un-optimized apps run fine, but some have graphics issues and others crash period. Android 3.0 is brand new and this is the first and only tablet with it, so these issues will likely be addressed with time.

Wow:
1. Flash 10.2 will be available in a few short weeks as will support for microSD cards, so don't let that keep you from purchasing the Xoom.
2. 0 to 100 percent battery life in about 3 hours
3. The Xoom's screen is made from Gorilla Glass which means you won't be neeeding a screen protector anytime soon (unless you don't like a glassy feel)
4. The keyboard is very accurate and the widgets are great. Most android apps work beautifully even if not created for Honeycomb
4. This thing moves fast
5. not noticed one hiccup in speed or performance even when doing the most multitasking on a portable device
