Motorola Xoom Review


The Motorola Xoom offers you everything you need in a tablet, especially if you prefer the Android operating system. This tablet features the Android 3.0 operating system along with a stunning touchscreen display, a large selection of applications, video chat capabilities and HD video recording.
This tablet offers a large selection of advanced features. You can capture 720p HD video using the rear camera. This tablet having dual cameras who excels at video calling.  One of the standout features is the Xoom’s image capturing ability. There is a 2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear camera. Both take some of the highest quality photos we've seen on any tablet.
The Android 3.0, known as Honeycomb, provides several features found on previous Android operating systems such as the five customizable homescreens and the pinch-and-zoom display. The battery life is excellent on this computing device. When you're browsing the internet or playing videos, the Motorola Xoom can get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single battery charge. However, battery life will vary depending on the tablet’s usage. There is also Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi capabilities. This device also comes prepared to upgrade to 4G LTE, the ability to connect to a 4G network. But as of this writing, the 4G LTE is not yet in service.
The Motorola XOOM was announced this year at CES 2011 and it’s got quite a few tablets to compete with; the iPad 2 and Blackberry Playbook to name a couple.
Housing the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor and 1Gb of DDR2 RAM, the XOOM is definitely up there with some of the most powerful tablets available at the moment. As well as those, the XOOM comes with 32GB of internal storage as well as the option of extra storage space via the microSD card slot (not currently available for use).
As well as being equipped with WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, the XOOM also features an LTE SIM slot which in the near (hopefully) future should be capable of allowing you to connect to 4G networks (although us lot here in the UK can barely get a good 3G connection so I doubt we’ll be seeing lightning quick 4G speeds anytime soon).
Apparently, a WiFi-only XOOM is currently in motion which is similar to the way Apple have gone with the WiFi and WiFi+3G versions of the iPad. A WiFI-only version will most likely not be seen until later in the year though.
The front facing camera is a 2-megapixel fixed-focus camera that is suitable for video calling and possibly video blogging. A tricolour notification LED can also be seen on the front of the XOOM.
