Motorola Xoom seems to have an inferior screen based on some different technology (probably not a TN, but some type of MVA technology) - the display specs say that it can only display 262k colors (or 6 bit per color channel) and a few reviews (here and here) don't seem to be very favorable about its viewing angles (and other stuff like contract). Which, b.t.w, is interesting considering Xoom costs MORE than comparable iPad 2
