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

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
All in all, the device is a solid but imperfect first effort. Platform stability and 4G can come with future software upgrades, and the bugs in the graphics and video rendering will (I hope) be fixable through software, too. But the screen's annoying ...
Abstract: Many of the large U.S. based computing websites got a Xoom to test under embargo recently and obviously there's been a quick rush of content out of the door as the embargo lifts today. (List of reviews below)More images in our GalleryOur Hand-on Here.Full...
Abstract: Well, here we go folks. The Motorola XOOM is available , we were handed one while at the Blazers/Lakers game last night, and somehow found a quick 10 minutes at 2:00AM to whip out an unboxing. Apologies for the darkness and raspy voice, but it was one hec...
The Motorola Xoom has a lot of potential, I am really excited about the new interface, and the new apps. The screen is beautiful, albeit glossy, and the performance is fantastic. however, despite all the positives I think the release was a bit prematu...
Lacks WOW factor in design, Expensive, Not all apps take advantage of its display, No Flash from the onset
So here’s the underlying question that would undoubtedly hint to whether or not the Motorola XOOM is a success. How much money are you willing to shell out to experience the very first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet? We’re not arguing that it’s somethi...
Despite the absence of Flash support and the absence of 4G, there’s a lot to like about the Motorola XOOM. It’s a solid, discretely handsome slate, with strong battery life and whip-crack performance. Against it are the premium price tag and the ridic...
I have to say, this is a lot better than I expected. Honeycomb feels a lot like Google's take on iOS without sacrificing any of what makes Android unique. It's a healthy combination of the appliance-like iOS without giving up any of the user facing custom...
I’m not sure how much better an Android tablet can get right now — and this is the first one we’ve reviewed here at BGR. The Motorola XOOM packs a serious punch, and doesn’t have room to store an ice pack. I love that Motorola has been pushing forward ...
HDMI-mini output, Runs Android 3.0 for smoother tablet OS experience, Good performance, MicroSD Card slot allows additional storage, Solid design
New OS has a few stability issues, Images don't render properly in Gallery viewer, Expensive, Heavy, at 1.6 pounds, Middling display, Video looked blocky
The Xoom is well-conceived and well-constructed, but some rough edges, a middling display, and a high price may deter early adopters. Motorola Xoom: First Android 3.0 Tablet Impresses, but Drawbacks Remain Motorola Xoom (Wi-Fi + 3G) Review, by Melissa...
Big, widescreen display offers plenty of room for video and for reading. Fast 1GHz processor promises great performance for future games and apps. Honeycomb simplifies and optimizes the Android interface for tablets. Dual cameras and an optional external keyboard make this a credible notebook (or at least netbook) replacement,
Rearfacing speakers don’t do justice to any kind of audio. The button thing is weird. Honeycomb seems to have some bugs to work out. No support for Adobe Flash–based content.
