Default Possible Android Tablet?

The Motorola Xoom is coming to the USA in Spring. It will have more processing power, screen technology and the most stable tablet specific operating system by far. This Tablet could EASILY manage the sunlight and processing requirements of a soaring application. If someone was smart, they would redesign SeeYou or another basic soaring software for Android and become fairly successful selling it. Soaring software is 99% of the problem and its surprising to me that custom hardware and old Windows CE, PDA and Mobile is the standard such as with the Oudie. The profit margin on a bundles piece of hardware/software is probably the biggest obstacle. Would people pay $200-300 for software they could run on their Android phones or Tablets. I would. I think the Oudie and PDA stuff stinks, but dont really want to pay 5k for a new system that will be outdated in 2 years. And I suppose the 500-700 for the tablet is a cost as well, but at least you could use that for many personal purposes as well as soaring!
