If you happened to watch the Super Bowl, you might remember that the Motorola Xoom was the next coming of flower power. Was the epitome of a humanity that exceeded the nature of big brother of the behemoth that is Apple identikit.
It may be that no one at Verizon got--or, perhaps, has bought--the message.
To View Verizon the Xoom seems completely in line with its strategy when launched the droid.
This thing for kids. You kids get excited about GigaHertz. It is for kids who love them some "Vendetta".
If you're the kind of person who gets excited about a 3D graphics engine and a gyroscope, will be rushing to your Verizon store to zoom out with your Xoom.
But if you are one of the housewives, senior citizens, hell's Angels, or project manager who simply love your iPad and can't wait for iPad 2, might pause to consider whether it might be the Xoom, well, a little too high tech for you.
My accountant tells me he bought a droid and had to take Back to the Verizon store because he just couldn't work out how, well, it worked.
It will be fascinating to see what will attract buyers to Xoom. Will be the way you are in a rocket ship? Or will something more considered, prettier, and more, well, sensitive?
Some might wonder whether the motto "Grab and grab it" offers the right kind of sensibility.
