I bought my wife a Motorola Xoom for her birthday last week, the cheaper wifi-only version. She LOVES it. She uses the Kindle app for reading books, sync's up her music with her iTunes playlists automatically over our home wifi network with AirSync, uses Handcent for texting and does all her Facebook stuff and web browsing on it. She hasn't turned on her Macbook since the day she got it.
I got the Xoom because the Honeycomb tablets can do a bunch of stuff the iPad's can't (I have an iPad too). She doesn't really like the iPad, her attitude was "that's it?" Android is all newer, less stable, more configurable and slightly more confusing than the iPad world, but much more fun IMO. Rumor is that the Xoom is being used as a development platform for the next version of Android, so it should be very well supported going forward. On the negative side, they STILL haven't enabled the damn SD card slot.
Another cool one coming up is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It's much more like a "super iPad2", in that it's a really clean and simple design, even thinner and more minimalistic design-wise than an iPad2, no external USB or HDMI ports, etc.
