Its good, but its old. I would highly recommend the Nexus 7.

I would go with one of these instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230173
The Xoom was nice (except for the lag with typing anything on the virtual keyboard with nothing installed yet, but at least try for something with Tegra 3?? Or hold your breath and wait for MS Surface, due out in less than 2 months!!

Nexus 7 is 3" smaller than the one the OP is looking at... Figured i'd stick to the same type of tablet... Yes, the Nexus 7 is and will be the best deal for a tablet, for a while.

From what i've read, it looks like MS Surface will have a 200 dollar 7" tablet as well. I'm not really sure on the hardware though... If you are interested in that, it's rumored to be out October 26th. As for that Nexus 7, yes it's faster than the XOOM and Transformer. It just has a smaller screen.
