I also have a nexus 7 and a xoom. Live them both. I thought about selling my Xoom to get the nexus 10. I couldn't bring myself t to do it though. 4g+HDMI out+ a decent camera+cyanogenmod 10= an awesome device!

I've been an EeePad (Asus Transformer) user for a few years now and just last week the battery died...it won't hold a charge...I sold it on Ebay (full disclosure) and got a Xoom tablet...I'm pretty excited about it.
I have one that died with the touch problem. Will send to repair next week. Anyway, flash CM10 custom ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=948) and you will see how good the XOOM can be.

Well, I just bought a XOOM JZ054K yesterday and I love it!!!

It started up with JB 4.1.2 already on it.

Is there someway I can Root it on JB?

...or do I have to downgrade it to GB or ICS to Root it?

I think its safe to say our Xooms will always hold a place in our hearts as the first Kickass Android tablet. Legendary.

When its time to finally retire the ol' girl I'll sit it up in its dock and rest it on my bookshelf.

I'm almost sure you can root it with JB. Give a good search on the Xoom thread and I think you may find a way.

It doesn't stop being functional but it definitely has a LOT less to offer than even the N7. Plus the Tegra 2 is ancient and weaker than some Single core processors (like the hummingbird).
Don't try to rain on our xoom parade, hope your 5000+ post isn't downers like these two here...

Stating facts isn't being a downer. It's a fact that the Xoom's age is showing and that there are some superior options out now that weren't out when the Xoom came out.
You bet it, but I want my XOOM fixed anyway. Its damn solid, much more solid than the Note 10.1 I'm using at the moment. Slower, yes much much slower, but solid.

Just thought I'd update since I received my Xoom.

I love it. It's a bit heavier than the TF but whatever.

I'm not pining over better tablets or what "could have been"...it's serving it's purpose and doing it nicely for cheap.

Just what I was looking for when I selected it :)

Congratulations.The XOOM may be a bit havy but it is a very good device. Enjoy and don't forget to flash CM10 to use the full potential of your tablet.

I just got a Xoom on Sunday and it a nice device. Iv unlocked and setup 4.1.2 EOS with oc and for the price I paid its a good device. Can anyone suggest any good games that make use of the screen size? I got it mainly for reading comics and browser but wouldnt hurt to have a few good games, im hoping it runs the android Baldurs gate when its out.
