Will any Xoomer switch to Galaxy Tab 10.1 due to thinner and lighter size?
Xoom vs GT 10.1

No, spent too much on my Xoom to do that. Plus I like having SD and ports

Emotionally?? LMAO. I know the feeling+1
Love the Xoom, invested financially and emotionally.
Galaxy Tab has no SDCard slot and no HDMI out. The production versions (not the ones from I/O) will also have an ugly touchwiz skin over it.
No thanks.
No thanks.
it's not worth upgrading to a new tablet this early. Maybe next year with the next gen tegras and every tab being light as the ipad 2 with all the features of the xoom.
had my Xoom for 2 months almost. Never even thought about using the HDMI port, and our SDcard doesn't even work.
The biggest portion of storage on a device like this music/movies. Google cloud music just fixed the music issue.
I just don't need more than 16gb of storage. Really.
My 2 issues with the Xoom: Weight and size. The GT is lighter so its on the list.
If the GT 10.1 had a brighter screen than the Xoom's but same resolution I would be interested. Thats always been my biggest complaint about the Xoom.
I don't really care about the extra CDcard slot. (haven't missed it yet on the xoom)
I think HDMI is a gimmick, Have you ever actually seen anyone use it? I guess now that we are starting to actually have easier access to movies it may get used.
Lighter Weight and thinner would be a plus but it's still going to be too big to fit in your pocket so whats it matter really. If the battery life is not as good I would rather have a heavier thicker tablet.
Also it would have to be rooted.

I use HDMI out a lot. It's very easy to load a movie and watch it on my tv or the Xoom.
I do, at least weekly- and now that I can watch Amazon Prime/Google Movies, even more now.
Definitely switching
Definitely switching. In my opinion, the biggest shortcoming of my Xoom is the horrible screen. Reviewers are calling the Gtab 10.1's screen better than the iPad, and the screen on my iPad owns the Xoom everyday and twice on Sunday. Thinner and lighter is just an added benefit. I have a Google IO version in the mail, so no Touchwiz for me!

I have the GT from IO as well as the Xoom. My coworker bought the Transformer. I took a photo of them side by side:

From that angle, the Transformer is actually thicker than the Xoom, but barely. I couldnt take any photos of the screens since there's too much glare in my office.
My honest opinion: The GT is sexy. Everyone that I showed it to thought it was amazing and wonderful. A couple mentioned that it is heavier than it looked (a good thing), but it's actually very light compared to the Xoom. I think the box + GT + accessories together weigh less than the Xoom.
If i were to go out today to purchase a tablet, I would probably get the GT just purely on aesthetics. But since I already have a Xoom, I'm going to choose to keep the Xoom because of extra MicroSD slot as well as the standard microUSD slot.

Definitely not giving up my Xoom, the fact that we get all updates first is more then enough. Also 4G when we finally get it and not to mention who says the Samsung I/o tab wont get touch wiz in a future update, I'm not trying to deal with flashing custom roms on my tab

Giving Sumsungs track record with updates. My friends has the fascinated and it is stil on 2.1. So its a no brainer I am staying my Xoom, soon to be 4g.
If i sell my xoom it will be for new features and better hardware, not size and weight. I dont notice millimeter differences, they are all equally portable, a ounce and a millimeter doesnt change much
