I'm pretty sure these plane passengers are fucked.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Neat toy, but fuck, I am pissed off that my Motorola Atrix is so big.
I still don't get the point of these things.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Re: Unboxing the Xoom
Some additional thoughts now that I'm at work and can't mess around with it:
- Lots of Internet reviews say the screen seems super fingerprinty. I agree, I'll be getting a screen protector probably sometime this week
- My Amazon Appstore apps follow me from device to device, much in the manner that my Steam games do. I am glad of this.
- The keyboard I use(Swiftkey) is really only usable in portrait mode. Thumbkey seems to work better than the default keyboard in landscape mode.
- Motorola bundled Dungeon Defenders and a couple dozen songs on the Xoom. Most of the songs were at least quasi-big name(Carrie Underwood, Wyclef Jean) but the only one I was interested in was the Oasis song. Since the default Android music player sucks I've been using Amazon's media player since it came out last week.
- I really like the OS layout. The learning curve is a little steeper than a iOS device, even if you already have a Android Phone, but as I used it more and more this afternoon I grew to enjoy it in ways that are difficult to quantify
- The Gmail app is absolutely steller

I've looked at these though, they are hard on the eyes for actual reading. Jenn's Kindle is great for it though. Does this one fair better?
And what do you mean 'light gaming'?

Dungeon Defenders, Flight Control(the airplane game in the screen shot), Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja.
Kindle is easier on the eyes for protracted reading, but It is useful for couch-surfing.

Re: Unboxing the Xoom
You should take a look at PowerAMP, Lonestar. It's the best music player for Android, hands-down. It works rather well on the Xoom, even though the UI isn't really designed for tablet use (HUEG album art is HUEG). Also, are you using the standard Swiftkey or the tablet beta, available in the Swiftkey official forums?
どうして？お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Re: Unboxing the Xoom
I'm using the standard swiftkey. I tell you, I was really pleased that PicSay Pro was the Amazon Free App yesterday. I've been messing with it, and it is really gorgeous on the Xoom.
