Sell Xoom for the new iPad?

[XoM]

Hello,

I bought the Xoom WiFi about 2 months ago for 340euro (in Europe, but I flashed the US firmware to get ICS). There are many things I like about it, but there are couple of things I don't, particularly the quality of some apps when compared to iPad. So I put my Xoom for sale a while ago for 280euro and I got many offers for it, but I am having second thoughts.

So I created a comparison list to help me decide. Maybe you can add pros/cons to my list to help me with the decision (try to be objective)! The comparison is between the Xoom and the 16GB WiFi iPad. Number of "*" indicate how important the feature is for me. The more '*' the more weight I give to it.

Xoom Pros:
- Flash Player **
- GPS **
- 32GB + SD *
- ICS > iOS (for me) **
- HDMI *
- Direct access to the filesystem (I don't like iTunes) ***
- Better Google apps (?) **
- Faster charging **
- I am using an Android phone and Google Services. I have nothing from Apple *
- I already have it. No need to pay 220 euro more to get the iPad **

New iPad Pros:
- Better Screen ***
- More / better apps *****
- Faster ***
- Form Factor (I use the tablet more to read books-magazines than watch videos) **
- Design (thinner / lighter) **
- Longer Battery Life *
- USB Charger *
- Resale value *

Don't know any pros of IOS, just a boring locked down OS.

Android has more apps than apple does, and the most amazing thing are 90% of the apps are free
If you want to spend 1000$ on apple apps then be my guest. Battery life on my Xoom last for 15 hours with full charge of 3 hours and watching avi/mkv/flash videos

I can install my browser choice for free and install different kind of video players and download movies and manage them with many file managers with my Xoom. Who cares about the basic ios . From a technical aspect ICS is faster than iOS since iOS doesn't have all these amazing features.

haha I like but I cant do as much. Flash, custimization, compatibility

i also feel dumb carrying around a product with an apple logo on it (it seems like youre trying to be cool)
