For me, flash is a non-issue. If I need it, I have a program called Frash. Also, there is a web browser that is available now and it runs flash. I saw it operate on a Virgin Mobile non-Android phone a year or so ago.
Xoom is widely touted as being able to run flash, but it is not ready yet; which is to say, it will not run Flash as shipped. I have been told Flash will be avaialbe soon, however. PErhaps it is now available.
Also, the availability of 4G is a big part of the anti-iPad retoric and some iPad detractors point to the fact that the Xoom has 4G and the iPad never will.
They seem to not understand that the Xoom does not yet have 4G, it will be available sometime later and installing it requires physical disassembly of the hardware, so it must likely need to go back to Motorola.
iPad has it on demand through the use of a WiFi Hotspot.
But what you like, that's the bottom line.
