XOOM 硬件和软件都相当不错，但是许多细节上的缺憾让人觉得它是仓促上阵。Android Market 里没什么平板的程序，Honeycomb 系统像是半成品，硬件上也同样不完美。但是 XOOM 仍然称得上是 iPad 真正的竞争对手，它有很多方面比 iPad 更好。不过在 Google 明晰自己的平板路线图之前，消费者可以先持币观望。Engadget 总结陈词说，XOOM 和 Honeycomb 都非常令人瞩目，只是尚未完工

WePad 有很多亮点，比如它采用了自己修改的 Linux 平台搭配 Android 系统，允许用户同时安装使用 Android Market 和 Adobe Air 程序；它采用了类似 iPad 的玻璃外屏和金属机身；其它配置也明显瞄准着 iPad

不过这家小公司的野心还远不止于此，他们在介绍 WeMagazine 平台时也直言不讳自己以 iBooks 和 Kindle 商店为目标，写道： Apple iTunes 和 Amazon Kindle 强迫出版商退化为简单的内容提供商，而 WePad 允许出版商继续接触读者的信息。

不过，Android 平板专用软件应该会在今年夏天掀起一波高潮，因为三星，HTC ，联想的相关设备都会在夏天上市，巧妇们拿到米之后一定会尽快投入开发的

In November 2009, the iPhone OS accounted for 55% of the mobile web usage in the US; now it's down to 44%. In the same timespan, Android grew from 27% to 42%. The US can be seen as a test bed for the rest of the world, since Android hasn't been pushed as much outside of the US as it has been inside of the US. In Apple's defence, though, the arrival of the iPad in the coming weeks may reverse the declining trend of the iPhone OS. And, as noted, the iPod Touch is not included in these figures. All in all, it's clear that Android is no longer just a speck on the horizon. Google's mobile operating system is a serious threat to Apple's iPhone, which could further explain why Apple decided to sue HTC. Jobs might be drinking coffee with Schmidt in a nicely staged press moment, but in the meantime, the '80s and '90s are happening all over again for Apple: the PC business model beating the Mac one.
