I do wish the Gadget show was so i-biased, or apple-ocentric. Even the report showed the ipad has some major failing i.e no flash playing, but the report turns this to a plus saying that its making people develop apps!!! What? Also the camera is nowhere near the other two. But wait what is the final score..ipad still top mainly due to there being most apps. It was a similar story with the iphone test. I have an ipod, because its the best, but give me a xoom and a desire anyday.

Typical gadget show bull, It was quite clear that video recording was poor and lack of flash meaning no video is also a big minus,.. but hey it wins anyway because apple made it,... This is why you can never take the gadget show seriously,.. at a guess my thoughts are that whoever pays them the most money gets the top spot. Their reviews are always childish and biased and even when they prove to you that something else is better they will promote their favoured product rather than the one that deserves recognition

Slightly baffling - the Xoom outdid the Blackberry on every test and ended up with the same mark. The comments for the Xoom and iPad in the report don't tally with the final mark - watch the report and make up your own mind rather than blindly following the G rating... I'm agnostic in the whole Apple debate but there does seem to be a hint of bias on the final reckoning here...
