The card (32gbs) will probably set me back $70 bucks if I find a deal on the web. The ‘Xoom’ Tablet has 32gbs built in. The ‘Xoom’ will set me back $699 and the Micro SD $70 for a total of $769. My ‘Toshiba’ laptop has a 17″ screen, CD/DVD player-recorder, various ports, wi-fi and a full size keyboard. It set me back NEW, $349 (or $429 less than the ‘Xoom’ or $399 less than the ‘I-diot Pad’. Why would I even want to buy one? If I want to read books electronically, I would buy a ‘Kindle’ or some other reader. Why would I want to waste more than 1/2 the cost of my laptop that does a heck of alot more? I can find ‘Tablet Computers’ on the ‘www’ for less than $200 bucks that do alot more for alot less.

Also, there’s been no mention of the WiFi only version of the Xoom or if this $699 version will require a Verizon contract.
