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

Abstract: I purposely put off writing my review of the Motorola XOOM for a couple of reasons. Partially because we already have a perspective from another AndroidGuys writer , but also because I wanted to give it a thorough assessment of how I use the device in my ...
The Motorola Xoom is an impressive piece of hardware and the Android 3.0 OS is quite innovative. The entire package makes for a great tablet experience with many features which competition does not offer. When it comes down to pulling the trigger, ther...
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...
