The editors liked
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
Wonderful fit and finish. 802.11n 5GHz support. Speakers are better than expected. Performance is reasonably nippy. Android Honeycomb is a pleasure to use
Excellent design
Solid performance with fast processor
Honeycomb
Nice screen
Tons of connectivity
The editors didn't like
US$600 for WiFi
US$800 for 3G
It's expensive
Heftier than the iPad 2
And novice users may balk at Android's read-the-manual attitude
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
Great browser with nifty tabletspecific features, intuitive operating system, excellent Gmail and Talk interface
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
A tablet that packs plenty of power plus a clever and intuitive Android Honeycomb operating system – however, it is lacking a decent choice of apps to download and needs an update to iron out quite a few glitches...
The Motorola Xoom is a solid feeling bit of hardware that unfortunately, feels a little unfinished. This is largely down to the many force closes we experienced and the scarcity of available apps – two things which we're sure will only improve with tim...
Abstract: Image Gallery: At 10.1 inches in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the XOOM is a tad longer than the iPad 2 and, at 13mm thick and 730g, a little chunkier too. That's in part thanks to a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor clocked at 1GHz. It results in a tablet t...
The Motorola Xoom shows that the future is bright indeed for Android on tablets. If you’re an iOS hater with a slate predilection, you’ll love it, warts and all....
Android Honeycomb isn’t quite ready for prime time. It’s frustrating at times, and the optimised apps aren’t out in force yet.But it is ready for the sizeable army of people already willing to put up with cheap hardware and terrible UI just to avoid Ap...

Abstract: Let’s face it; Apple currently dominates the tablet world and it’s about time it had some competition. Some analysts claim Apple will continue to do so until at least 2015, and so far Samsung and the others haven’t made much of an impact.The first Galaxy ...
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
Crowded widgets and small icons can lead to homescreen chaos, Speakers face backwards, Inconvenient proprietary charger, Good Honeycomb apps are currently hard to find
The 10.1-inch Motorola Xoom is the first tablet to run Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb software. Despite being first, it feels fun and polished, and it will be even better when more big-screen apps arrive....
Android 3.0, build quality good, acceptable camera performance, the novelty of being the first Honeycomb tablet
Honeycomb doesn't feel quite ready, microSD card not supported, Motorola don't bring anything extra from a software point of view
We can't really fault Motorola's hardware and the Honeycomb experience is far superior to Android tablets we've seen so far, but it's clear that the software isn't that stable, the price is high, not all features are supported and the Android Market ne...
