Xoom users, your device review later on..

[RushAOZ]

My brother in law recently asked me if I wanted to take his xoom off his hands for 400$ bucks. First off I'm not too fond of the moto brand butim willing to give it a shot. Anywho I was wondering to get some general input on the device.
How are you guys digging the speed, over all performance of the device?
are there any hardware quirks or the like I should know of?
How easy is it to obtain the 1.5ghz overclock? Also how is it faring in battery life and system stability with the oc?
Sorry for the questions but seeing reports of gt10.1 feeling snappier and smoother than the xoom I got a little worried. Seeing as if they're almost identical on the silicon front.

The Xoom and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 use the exact same processor/gpu and software, anyone who says it's faster is just wrong.

Quite frankly while oc to 1.5G is extremely good and many thanks to our devs here,
new 3.1 stock is running smooth like silk and much much faster than even the oc one of 3.0.1

I think google hit the major home run on the previous ipad 2 advantage, the responsiveness of everything (apps, screen etc)

LOVING MY 3.1 so far.

They aren't using the same processor. The xoom uses a tegra 2 while the galaxy tab uses a new Samsung dualcore Orion processor, similar to the apple a5.

I don't know where you heard that crazy fact. That was a false rumor from 2010.

Still... what are some things you guys love and hate about your xoom? I don't really like site reviews because they usually only report on first impressions. I want feedback from people that have had it for months now. I am an epic 4g owner. One of the things I was wondering if I could do was use the psx emu coupled with a controller. I heard 3.1 gave you guys the ability to use a 360 or ps3 controller. This is one of the biggest selling points to me. Emus. How are you guys doing with them?

Wow, I actually wrote a pretty great reply to you and accidentally hit discard on my Xoom, that's -1 lol.

So I'm not going to type everything I typed previously but ill try to end with this. Specifically I like myXoom because its small with a bignscreen, it has a good weight and feel to it, not a huge fan of the super thin stuff.

You won't catch too many people here saying this but, as long as it runs 3.0+ you're golden, they'll all do the same stuff. The Xoom does have pretty much everything, I read somewhere the Tab does not have a micro USB port, that's a dealbreaker for me.
