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

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
Wonderful fit and finish. 802.11n 5GHz support. Speakers are better than expected. Performance is reasonably nippy. Android Honeycomb is a pleasure to use
More expensive than competitors. Screen doesn't have the vibrancy of some of its competitors. Volume buttons are difficult to press. Will not charge over USB. May be heavier than some are willing to accept
With competitors nipping at its heels, the Xoom feels like a missed opportunity that will quietly fade away. It's nice enough and beautiful to hold, but there are too many niggles in its current form to recommend. We hope Motorola gets to fixing them a...
Abstract: I've been using the Motorola XOOM for just over a day now, and I thought I'd share my initial thoughts. Which coincides nicely with Telstra's confirmation that this bad-boy is launching through them next month . First off, the XOOM is quite heavy as it we...

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
Despite some useful features, the Xoom's high price and bulky design make it a less than desirable tablet offering....
Abstract: Motorola’s Xoom crashed onto the New Zealand tablet scene in July, narrowly missing our comprehensive tablet roundup in June.The Xoom was Google's reference device when designing Honeycomb, the tablet-optimised Android 3.0 operating system. That’s the ...
Since the Motorola XOOM’s global release, we have seen the likes of the Acer Iconia A500, Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which means that the XOOM has a fair amount of competition now. While its build and obvious quality is commendable,...

The device seems to be plagued with lag inspite of the 1 GHz dual core CPU, Reflective screen, A bit heavy on hands, Absence of a kickstand, Non replaceable battery, No pre installed document editor
Despite the few drawbacks that have been listed above, the Motorola Xoom happens to be one of the serious competitors in the tablet market. The Android operating system and the tons of features loaded into the same in hardware and software format, make th...
Abstract: The market is flooded with news of Motorola Xoom selling only 100,000 units in the first 45 days of its launch. This can be termed as the biggest blow ever happened to Motorola when compared to the record sales of 300,000 units of the iPad on the very fir...
