Although the Xoom performs well, its reliability leaves a lot to be desired. During a week of very heavy use, I had between 5 and 8 incidents of applications force-closing every day. The issue wasn't isolated to third-party applications—Google's own software crashed pretty regularly. [...] Android in general is not especially robust, but the stability issues I encountered on the Xoom seem worse than the relatively minor stability problems I've had over the past few years with my various Android phones. I imagine that the stability problems will be ironed out as Google improves the platform. And I would want to put up with this because ... ? Waiting on promised fixes from Google, Motorola, or Verizon doesn't strike me as worth the money. (And, no, I'm not arguing in favor of Apple's iOS devices. In fact, I feel poorly served by both Apple and Google - egregious policies on the one hand, and poor workmanship and customer service on the other.)
