Xoom and the Android tablet experience

Sadly the days of hardware switches that actually do anything seem to be far behind us. I remember at least back in 2006 we were evaluating some hardware with supposed switches but all they did was tell the software to turn stuff off and could be bypassed.

Sadly the days of the US government ordering them for security reasons seems to be done with as it violates various "off the shelf, lower costs" mantras.
