With the iPad 2 on sale through Verizon minus any sort of activation fee, it sure seems like Android users were destined to get the short end of the stick. Lest the wrong message gets across, Big Red has gone ahead and decided to waive said $35 activation with the purchase of the Motorola XOOM and Samsung Galaxy Tab, as well.
A small gesture, but one of good intent. This should do just about nothing to sway buyers towards an Android alternative, but at least those set on picking up the new XOOM can have one less complaint about its already high price tag.
