The editors didn't like

  • Honeycomb's sophistication means a steeper learning curve.
  • The Motorola Xoom is an impressive tablet

  • It's expensive!
  • Honeycomb doesn't feel quite ready
  • MicroSD card not supported
  • Motorola don't bring anything extra from a software point of view

  • Lack of tabletspecific apps in Android Market plus there’s no filter to find them
  • Noncustomised interface means it may not be unique enough as the tablet market grows
  • Not many apps available yet
  • Quite heavy
  • On the expensive side
  • Some motion issues with browsing and video

  • Abstract:  Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...

  • The Motorola Xoom falls behind the Apple iPad 2 when it comes to app support – with far more apps offered for the iPad. However, the Xoom betters its rival in many ways when it comes to the hardware, and if you want a device to browse the web or watch ...

  • The Motorola Xoom is a little tricky to judge. The battery life is surprisingly good and it doesn't cost any more than a comparable 32GB WiFi-only iPad 2. It's much heavier than Apple's tablet though and neither the Android 3.0 interface or the Android...
