Looked at a xoom in staples - it was full of fingerprints, and the small areas with no fingerprints could be used as a mirror. Price is way too high given the functionality and ergonomics - you can get a better and lighter mirror for a lot less, or a decent laptop for about the same money.

I know my better half would spent more time cleaning it up then using it, so until the fingerprint issue is solved, xoom and the other glossy finish tablets are off my shopping list.

Maybe this is another reason why it does not sell as well as expected?! When you see it in the store all covered with greasy fingerprints, and you read online about the missing drivers, it kind of turns you off.....

It does have a lot of glare and does quickly get a lot of smudges, it doesn't seem to be any worse or better then other touch screen products. It doesn't bother me much but the smudges drive my wife crazy so she doesn't use it, which I could argue is not a bad thing :-)
