It gets all the first Android updates because it was Google's pilot into the tablet market. It has as good, if not better, hardware than the Ipad 2.
In which way does the Xoom have better hardware than iPad 2?
Motorola also released Xoom 2 in some countries and released some other tablets, but without much fanfare.
Google has indicated they may sell their own branded tablet this year. Samsung and Asus are targeting tablets for the $250 price point soon, going after the Kindle Fire, which itself should get refreshed for the Holiday season.
But for software and peripheral support, nothing compares to the iPad right now. It wouldn't be surprising if there are already more "retina display" optimized iPad apps. than there are Android apps. designed specifically for tablets.
