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
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.
Android 3.0 onboardSuper fast, super capableFront and rear-facing cameras
OS is still buggySome issues with hardware buttonsVery little native software available
Despite the drawbacks that we've outlined in this review, there is actually a lot about the Xoom to like. Besides boasting what we consider to be the most complete and clearly functioning version of Android, the hardware which is packed inside Motorola's ...

The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's.
The 10.1-inch high-res display is clear and fairly bright; good battery life; very solid build; 32GB of built-in storage and will later have expandable memory slot activated.
Poor rear camera; user interface may be complicated for first time users; tablet-specific applications are sparse; proprietary charging cable; high price point; has to be sent away to have LTE enabled.
The dual-core processor and Honeycomb, though there is a shortage of tablet-specific applications, gives the XOOM an edge over the iPad. It is blazing fast and the use of widgets makes the home screen more interactive. The XOOM definitely upped the b...
Abstract: Everyone was expecting Motorola to show off an iPad competitor at CES and the company may have met the sky-high expectations with the introduction of the Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet.With a 10.1-inch display, the Motorola Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet is...
Abstract: Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...
Abstract: Motorola's Xoom is the first Honeycomb-based tablet; but how does it fare against Apple's iPad 2? There's a lot to go over, from Google's new software platform to Nvidia's Tegra 2. Let's dig a little deeper to see how the tablet world is shaping up. In...
