I wouldn't get the Xoom. Reviews suggest that both the hardware and the software were rushed to market. If you really want an Android tablet, you should probably wait until somebody puts out a more polished one. Also, the software ecosystem is still quite weak on the Android side. There seems to currently be less than 100 tablet-optimized Android apps, as compared to 65,000 iPad apps. Phone apps will work, but trust me, you don't want to use them unless you have to.

If you like to tinker, you might get a cheap Nook Color and root it. Otherwise you should buy an iPad 2 once it's out or wait a few months for the first Honeycomb patch and buy whatever Android tablet is hottest at that point.
