Evan, I agree on nearly all points. I get frustrated by some of the really cool apps that are iOS only and have no allegiance to a particular camp. However, my wife recently bought an iPad and I can honestly say after a week of playing around / setting it up I realized how much I prefer my Xoom.

Apple has cool accessories, apps and an elegant design but some of the small things are really unacceptable to me after two years of Android only: the keyboard, notifications, in app navigation (where is the back button, seriously I have to go back to the home screen and then settings to change a setting in what I’m in right now), lack of widgets, boring screen appearance etc…THE KEYBOARD…you get the idea.

Anyway, I would love to be able to use some the apps you mention as well as Evernote Hello and others but for me those are not worth the rest of iOS.
