Yup, which is why its a great review. Shows what it does rather than bitch about no flash or OS bugs.

Always remember that Topolsky can't review for **** (although he has improved a teeny bit over the years). He's probably the most biased reviewer of the whole lot there.

I certainly believe that he holds biases, but the more I hear about the Xoom the more I feel the score he gave it was accurate. I feel that he inflates the scores of Apple devices, but gives Android devices a fair score generally.

I am a bit worried with the wonky buttons.

And I might agree with the Honeycomb user interface comments (not good).

Hope Google address this.
