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
Tabbed Web browser with Flash Player support
Easy to share videos and other files with your computers
Blazing fast
PC-like functionality
Good battery
Sturdy build

Fits in hands quite nicely
Good camera for both video and still photos
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
Abstract: Part TwoOkay so let's be frank. This is a first gen that's fighting an uphill battle against a market-defining product that's already selling their second generation. It's not hard to see that the Xoom, and more importantly the Android 3.0 software runnin...
Abstract: Part OneWhen I picked up the Xoom for the first time, I asked the same question most of you have: “What is this thing??” The tablet: one of the most expensive and seemingly unnecessary, yet wildly popular consumer devices. Or so I thought, until I spent a...

Abstract: One thing the Motorola Xoom was great for was watching videos. Whether it was from YouTube or from the web after the Flash Player was installed, I enjoyed kicking back and watching some flicks on the device. If Android had support for Netflix this would b...
Fast and responsive processor and user experience, Very good built in software is an upgrade from the typical Android experience, Solid build construction, Built in barometer!
The form factor of the device is a bit heavy and uncomfortable, Some features are MIA, such as MicroSD and 4G support, Buggy Flash support for the time being, Very limited Android Market for tablets, User agent problems with browser, Hard to get conten...

Abstract: As for e-mail, just like my Droid it syncs perfectly with my Exchange and G-mail accounts. The G-mail interface is a little nicer than on my Android phone that is running 2.2 right now. My calendars all synced up just like my Droid does. It was just like ...
Abstract: The launch of Apple’s iPad spawned plenty of me-too tablets, most of which left a lot to be desired. The Motorola Xoom’s announcement, however, signaled the first serious competitor to Apple’s wonder tablet, and proved to be the darling of the 2011 Con...
The first Android tablet with Google's tablet-specific Honeycomb OS. Fast. Beautiful, highly responsive touch screen. HDMI output for televison/computer monitor viewing.
User interface seems overcomplicated at times. Flash support is only in beta mode, has limitations. While promised in the future, there's no support for SD cards at launch. Android Market on the device is buggy. Few high-quality, must-have Honeycomb apps.
The Motorola Xoom for Verizon Wireless is the best Android tablet yet, but with a lack of key features (like full Flash video and SD card slot support) and mediocre apps at launch, it doesn't measure up to the Apple iPad. Buy it now...
Abstract: Although the managed to get a slight head start in making some headlines so far this year in the tablet market, we’re already seeing the demonstrating its might as it flexes its muscles in hopes of retaining its crown amongst the newest generation of...
Gorgeous screen, Fast, Great for gaming and multimedia, Simple to use, Dual cameras with flash, Decent picture quality, Stereo sound
No Flash yet, Expensive, Very glossy screen, Easily picks up fingerprints, No 4g until upgrade
The Xoom is the top of the line Android tablet on the market today that's for sure, and it's near perfect I think.Yes it's missing flash and 4G at the moment, but that's supposed to be fixed soon. The Xoom works well, it's fast and I really never noticed ...
The hardest part of this review…should you buy one or not? There really is no straight forward answer for that. Is this one hell of a powerful device that I've enjoyed every second of? Yes. Does it accomplish everything that I expected it to? Yep. Has...
