Gettting a Tablet, Which One?

Question

I really want a tablet. However I am so confused as to what I should get. I am more of android user than a apple. In the beginning I was looking forward to the Motorola Xoom 4G. However it was too high in price. $800 without a contract from Verizon or $600 with a 2 year contract data internet plan. I have seen Motorola Xoom and I like the interface and the ability to do multi-tasking and opening multiple windows and application, which the ipad can not do. The price of the Xoom is too high for me even though there will be a free upgrade from Motorola for 4G data speed hardware.

Then today I saw an article stating that Staples stores will be selling the Motorola Xoom (Wi-Fi model) only for $600 starting March 27. Of course there is no contract and there will be no 4G hardware for this model.

Then today Verizon Wireless lowered their price for the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 7 inch. The price is down to 199.99 with a 2 year contract. I have heard good reviews with this Samsung Galaxy. The 7 inch size is great and a lot of people have given high marks for this product and usage. With a 2 year data contract you could get a $20 plan and get 1 GB of data internet or $34 plan and get 3GB of data internet. So I was thinking that a data plan would be fine with me since I would like to have internet access where ever I go and not have to be a Wi-Fi location. I even heard that the Samsung Galaxy Tab can be used as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot so that your other devices can use the internet off of the Galaxy Tab. Of course the Galaxy Tab only runs on Android 2.2 and not a dual core processor like the Motorola Xoom, which is the only disadvantage.

Now the Apple Ipad 2 is out and already Apple have sold approximately one million ipad 2 already. So should I get a ipad even though I am a android user. I know Apple has a lot of more apps than android, but I like the android operating system and functions. I know the apple ipad 2 with Wi Fi and 3G would cost over $600 which is comparable to the Motorola Xoom with a 2 year contract from Verizon.

So what are your thoughts. Which one would you get. Samsung Galaxy Tab (199.99), Motorola Xoom ($600 with 2 year contract) or Apple Ipad 2 (Wi-Fi and 3G Verizon).
