The editors didn't like

  • Honeycomb's sophistication means a steeper learning curve.
  • The Motorola Xoom is an impressive tablet
  • With high-end specs to put other devices to shame. It also costs a lot of money
  • However
  • And it's currently hamstrung by poor app support for Android tablets.
  • Crowded widgets and small icons can lead to homescreen chaos
  • Speakers face backwards
  • Inconvenient proprietary charger
  • Good Honeycomb apps are currently hard to find
  • Software needs improvement
  • Just a handful of tablet apps available
  • Poor media performance
  • Pricey
  • Few tablet apps yet
  • Fiddly to hold
  • Expansion slot has issues
  • No Flash support - yet
  • 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
  • It's a tad premature and crashy
  • Frequent apps crashing
  • 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
  • Needs more apps
  • No iTunes-equivalent
  • Uses a proprietary charging cable
  • On the heavy side
  • No HDMI cable or protective case

  • Higher performance that the iPad 2; better cameras,
  • Honeycomb's sophistication means a steeper learning curve.
  • Not only is the Xoom faster than the iPad 2, but it's also a lot more personal thanks to its widgets and an OS that's highly customisable. The Android platform has been a slow-burning work in progress for far too long, but the employment of Honeycomb h...

  • Despite the weight, despite the price, despite everything, the Motorola Xoom has the power to move me. It feels so solid and performs so reliably that I increasingly find myself using it in preference to my iPad 2 whenever Apple compatibility is not a...

  • So how do we rate the Motorola Xoom? Well, we like it. Even taking into consideration Android 3’s rough edges, occasional sluggish operation, and the lack of tablet-specific apps, it’s easily the best Android tablet so far, and for many people that wil...

  • Great browser with nifty tabletspecific features, intuitive operating system, excellent Gmail and Talk interface
  • Frequent apps crashing; 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
  • A tablet that packs plenty of power plus a clever and intuitive Android Honeycomb operating system – however, it is lacking a decent choice of apps to download and needs an update to iron out quite a few glitches...

  • The Motorola Xoom is a solid feeling bit of hardware that unfortunately, feels a little unfinished. This is largely down to the many force closes we experienced and the scarcity of available apps – two things which we're sure will only improve with tim...

  • Android 3.0 makes Google-based tablets much easier to use, but the Xoom isn't quite as smooth as the Apple iPad 2. ...

  • Abstract:  Image Gallery: At 10.1 inches in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the XOOM is a tad longer than the iPad 2 and, at 13mm thick and 730g, a little chunkier too. That's in part thanks to a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor clocked at 1GHz. It results in a tablet t...

  • Android 3.0 has huge potential, speedy hardware
  • It's a tad premature and crashy
  • Android Honeycomb isn’t quite ready for prime time. It’s frustrating at times, and the optimised apps aren’t out in force yet.But it is ready for the sizeable army of people already willing to put up with cheap hardware and terrible UI just to avoid Ap...
