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

  • Abstract:  If Android tablets and the iPad 2 had a boxing match over which device has the best screen display, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 would knock out the other Android tablets and leave the iPad 2 in black and blue. That is how we would creatively state what Dr...

  • Abstract:  On a tablet or smartphone, what's more important than the display you look at and interact with? Very little, arguably. Of course, all things have to work magically, in concert, to achieve a desired experience. Still, screens are what you look at, and as ...

  • Fan / silent operation, Large memory, 5 MP digicam, Good power management
  • Reflective display surface, Unusable microSD slot, Lack of controls on the device, Often crashes, Isn't recognized by Vista
  • The weeks of testing the Xoom just flew by. The tablet was an able companion and was a lot of fun but it was also responsible for a few disappointments. But first the good qualities The 10.1" display gives rich colours, even though these quickly turn into...

  • The first Android tablet with Google's tablet-specific Honeycomb OS. Fast. Beautiful, highly responsive touch screen. Flash support. HDMI output for television/computer monitor viewing.
  • User interface seems overcomplicated at times. While promised in the future, there's no support for SD cards at launch. Android Market selection is short on tablet-specific apps.
  • The Wi-Fi Motorola Xoom is a solid Android tablet with Flash support, but it doesn't measure up to the Apple iPad 2 in terms of app selection. Buy it now...

  • Abstract:  The T-Mobile G1 had it easy; it was the first Android phone on the market, and the only one for a long time. The Motorola Xoom was the one and only Android Honeycomb tablet for just a short while before competitors rampaged the market (if you can call 5 o...

  • As the first Honeycomb tablet, the Motorola XOOM is designed to show what Android looks like when it’s redesigned for a larger screen. Unfortunately the XOOM feels more like a demonstration product at this point than a full-fledged gadget that fills a ...

  • Still a little buggy but so are all of my other gadgets, The lack of Android 3.0 apps but they will come and more are coming every week, Can't use microSD slot yet, Heavy and even more awkward to hold than an iPad (No biggie since I use it more in landsca

  • 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core processor, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), Great battery life
  • microSD slot isn't enabled, yet, LTE upgrade requires sending the device to Motorola, Pricey compared to Android 3.0 tablets recently launched
  • The Motorola Xoom has a lot of good things going for it. We loved the Xoom's colorful, high-res display with excellent viewing angles. We also appreciated the tablet's speed and smooth performance. For tablets, Android 3.0 is a definite improvement over p...
