The editors liked
Higher performance that the iPad 2
Better cameras
The 10.1-inch screen features a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution
Which is more than sharp enough for viewing an entire web page without having to scroll to the side. It's also great for movies
Proving sharp and crisp. The Android operating system is a pleasure to use
And with the latest version – Honeycomb – in place
It's also a step up from other tablets. Honeycomb looks attractive and cohesive
Fast and responsive
Tabletfriendly tweaks to Android are good overall

The Tegra 2 processor and 1GB DDR2 RAM allow for a much faster
Enjoyable experience
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
Android 3.0 onboardSuper fast, super capableFront and rear-facing cameras
OS is still buggySome issues with hardware buttonsVery little native software available
Despite the drawbacks that we've outlined in this review, there is actually a lot about the Xoom to like. Besides boasting what we consider to be the most complete and clearly functioning version of Android, the hardware which is packed inside Motorola's ...

The first tablet to combine Google's Android 3.0 software (now upgradable to Android 4.0), Motorola's knack for great hardware, and Verizon's 4G network, the Xoom tablet technically offers a more powerful, more capable alternative to Apple's original iPad
It's expensive, heftier than the iPad 2, and novice users may balk at Android's read-the-manual attitude
The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's.
The 10.1-inch high-res display is clear and fairly bright; good battery life; very solid build; 32GB of built-in storage and will later have expandable memory slot activated.
Poor rear camera; user interface may be complicated for first time users; tablet-specific applications are sparse; proprietary charging cable; high price point; has to be sent away to have LTE enabled.
The dual-core processor and Honeycomb, though there is a shortage of tablet-specific applications, gives the XOOM an edge over the iPad. It is blazing fast and the use of widgets makes the home screen more interactive. The XOOM definitely upped the b...
Abstract: Everyone was expecting Motorola to show off an iPad competitor at CES and the company may have met the sky-high expectations with the introduction of the Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet.With a 10.1-inch display, the Motorola Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet is...
Abstract: The $600 Motorola Xoom is the first slate to run Android 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb), Google's long-awaited operating system designed for tablets. Motorola wisely refrained from altering the stock experience, which means it’s a chance for the world to see t...
Motorola has priced the Xoom to match the corresponding iPad 2 models. The question is, why would you buy a Xoom when you could get an equivalent iPad 2 for exactly the same price? There are minor things that the Xoom does better. It can play Flash, it ...

Despite these gripes, we like the Motorola Xoom. It's well made, the hardware is powerful and battery life is good.Before you rush out and buy one, though, we'd urge you to pause and consider a couple of things. First, the price is a little high. In numer...
