What do you use your xoom for?

[noobsaid61]

As the topic speaks for itself, what do you guys use your tablet for? Been several months since I bought it now it seems to be of a bare use. Gaming device, multimedia( movie & photo collection) or education? I wanna use my device at its best

My wife has complained how much I use my Xoom. Maybe i'm a tech junkie, but I love this thing.

Most favorite uses:

1. Watch movies/tv shows
2. Read books
3. Read comics
4. download torrents

 

[mightydr]

My primary uses (and the apps I use) are:

* Web browsing (browser, Chrome, Boat)
* Reading Comics (Komik)
* Watching saved movies (MX, RockPlayer)
* Streaming movies (Netflix)
* email (Gmail)
* Twitter (TweetCaster)
* Backup (second string) laptop using keyboard case (Splashtop, iTap)

I have plenty of content/apps/etc. to (but don't necessarily want to): Read books (Google Books, Kindle), Read magazines (Play Magazines), Do light gaming (Madden, Crosscourt Tennis, Temple Run, Angry Birds, etc.), Attend lectures for online classes (Flash Player), Listen to music (Mortplayer), Edit images (Photoshop Touch)

I use my Xoom for just about everything these days. It lets me get away from my desk. Most important uses are e-mail on the go, connectbot to log into and administer servers from the road, web-browsing, callendar, contacts list, note taking, etc. The only thing that I really wish it had was a better word processor, but I even use it for editing documents when I am away from the office with the apps that are available.

The other thing it is good for is eating up a day or two of time every now and then when I decide to try to upgrade to a new rom. I don't do it often enough and it atkes me a while to catch back up on what is going on in the rom world :silly:

I use mine for e-textbooks for school. They run about $80 vs $300. Also for games and YouTube.

I'm trying to use mine as a desktop replacement, but I find there are some limitations that hiner that, in particular I seem to have issues with dropbox sync and quick office pro seems to have a number of limitations when working with large documents and spreadsheets. Great for kindle, evernote and wasting hours on Great Little War Game though

Unfortunatelly I did not use my Xoom much, so I just sold it a couple of weeks ago. I only had it for about 7 months.
Thought I would use it for surfing the web from the sofa or while travelling. Indeed I just wasted some time with crappy games or left it switched of for days. Some of my tasks required a pc so I did all my surfing and stuff there. I was a little sad giving it away but it was just too expensive and has a too high loss of value for leaving it in the box. Now I got an ultrabook wich fits my requirements better.

 

[romdroid.]

Reading books, gaming (CS FTW!), surfing the web, watching movies and soon to be used in university

 

[Chaosgod27]

I use it to look at p0rn LOL!!

Ok on a serious note, I barely use it. Only when I read manga, which the XOOM outdones itself for that simple task.

Gaming, YouTube, and browsing/emails.

Use my xoom for everything;

browsing,
email,
GPS (can mount it in my 4wd)
maps (live in outback Australia and go bush a lot),
videos,
movies,
work (download, fill in and upload about 150 pdf files a week),
lately getting into e-books,
the list goes on but I won't ,

my laptop is gathering dust in the corner (only used when I need to use adb).

Because of the great work of Team EOS I also get to update roms and this satisfied the geek in me.

Also love the portability; on a flight last week I could hold the xoom up to the window and get a GPS fix and then see what we were flying over on a map.
