I have only had mine a week and find myself using it just to use it, even if it isn't the most convenient device at the time. I am a teacher so I will probably sell it and get an ipad because ipads are much better for classroom use. I had hoped my personal use would justify getting the xoom over the ipad, but I just don't think that will be the case with me.

I have actually experienced the exact opposite. I haven't even turned on my tbolt for three or four weeks.

Everyday use here. Great for work, play, reading the forums, troubleshooting my alienware m9700 high cpu use, movies. I just love it! Now how do I burn dvd's with it? ;)

I don't really use mine out of the fact that I only bought the wifi version. I would sell mine and probably turn around and buy the 4g version so it can be used on the move. It is a great thing to have around, but would love to have the ability to use it anywhere vice at school and home only. As of right now, I use mine once a week...maybe. Back when I bought it, I used it every single day. Developed for it, ported themes and such..then as soon as I got it set to the way I liked it, it just sits there.

If you got wifi tethering on your phone you could use that. It would save you getting a new device. As long as you got your phone you got data.

+1. I tether off my thunderbolt. I rather use that as my network then connect to all the different wifi hotspots available. Home and thunderbolt only to network connects my zoom gets connected to.

Everyday user since April, laptop of two years died a month ago and I've been full on android since. I have to say my windows cravings have nearly all but ceased and ics is going to really make windows oblivious in my life. :D

Hehe, yeah my laptop only ever goes on when the wife needs to use it because I'm hogging the Xoom.

+1 for tether too, I tether mine to my DHD when out of wifi coverage.

This is the first billing cycle with full on Tbolt-sim-in-Xoom action for me.
With 8 days left I have used 37.698GB (without tethering).

I use my lap top everyday. I bought my xoom because I "wanted" it. I also like to tinker with it. Question....how often do we watch our big screen TV or take it with us?

I use mine as much as possible. I also make sure to get every byte of data I paid for on my plan. I spend too much time at my stupid job to not get everything out of every penny I spend. If I could figure out a way for this sucker to mine bitcoins or something when I am not using it, I would!
