No the iPad is the best tablet in the world no one will beat it 4 a long time.
(I'm going to presume you are talking about the iPad2) It depends on what you want in a tablet, if you want a great camera, go for the xoom, if you want better apps, go for the iPad. As for speed, they are pretty even even though they are running different operating systems, all in all it really depends what you want to use it for, though before you make a decision, read the engadget reviews on both.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
