Had a friend pick up that new Motorola Xoom (where the phone plugs into the back of a keyboard/monitor). He said the tablet part works great, but the phone itself sucks. Headed back to his blackberry.
I guess if you're going to buy, you need to spend a little time on it. I've not used either myself.
My gadget for this year is actually an older gadget but only now am I breaking down to get it. The Neato Robotics XV-11. The what you say? Basically it's the next evolution of the robotic vacuum. Price has finally dropped into the $400 range and has improved a lot since the original iRobot and Rumba releases. Of course this comes from the guy with the robotic lawnmower that spent significantly more than $400 3 years ago and still love not having to mow the yard
