Another Xoom review:

It is the closest anyone has come to an iPad equivalent for the
Android set. I was impressed with the speed, design, and quality of
the device, and although there are a few caveats, I came away
optimistic for the new crop of Honeycomb devices that will follow this
one.
...
The size and shape are strikingly similar to the iPad's. It is a bit
wider and very slightly thinner, although it was oftentimes mistaken
by others for Cupertino's juggernaut.
...
In all, the Xoom is an impressive piece of kit. It doesn't feel as
"hollow" as the iPad, perhaps because of the Xoom's 1.6 lb weight
versus the iPad's 1.4.
...
I was amazed by the Xoom's dual-core Tegra 2 processor. It is
lightning fast and most activities took seconds. It beat the iPad in
side-by-side website scrolling tests in many cases.
