Operating System
An iPad is more like a smartphone that Xoom is more like a laptop computer (Best Buy is actually in the notebook section, instead of the pills as Android Samsung Galaxy). Honeycomb is more like android tablet. There is only one line of applications and the waste of space as IOS. Plus, you have room for customization (widget, live wallpaper, theme etc).
There are also little details that do appreciate the knowledge of technology (grid lines, advanced settings, Google Labs, etc.) Honeycomb is still a bit buggy, but not to the extent that it becomes annoying. I only have the force of closure of a number (application closed because of an error) from time to time (not all applications work with your Xoom .. yet).

It 'also easy to transfer files between your computer and Xoom. Just plug in USB and it works like a hard drive, then drag the desired files. There are also applications such as file and ES Astro Explorer File Manager to manage the files / folders (like Windows Explorer). I think that requires IOS software, unless you just do music / movies through iTunes. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I hate all linked / synced through iTunes. The Xoom, more freedom and do not stick with a program like iTunes.
Winner: To each his own but I like Honeycomb better.
Design / Layout / Display
Xoom is heavier, but this is due to the robust quality that I love. It 'more often and has a large screen (better suited for movies IPAD 2). Despite Xoom has a higher screen resolution, IPAD 2 still has a brighter screen and bright eyes.
Winner: iPad 2 by little bit

User Interface
Some people say honeycomb is too complicated to use. Well, maybe they were just using IPAD. For someone who has used both, I must say that it is fairly easy to use. IOS is more intuitive and infallible, but there are many details about the possibility of Xoom that many people enjoy.
Winner: Tie
Multitasking
One button and it takes you to 5 most recent apps for easy switching on Xoom. iPad 2 sort of have multitasking but not a true multitasking experience.
