Hands on with the Motorola Xoom

02.09.11

The XOOM was, of course, the first tablet to run Google’s official tablet OS. If you buy it later this month, you’ll get it with Honeycomb 3.0, but an immediate upgrade to 3.1 is available, which includes the software necessary to enable the XOOM’s SD card reader.

The XOOM has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and a 10.1-inch 1280×800 widescreen HD display. HDMI out allows you to hook the XOOM up to your HDTV and a 5MP rear-facing shooter captures 720p video, while the 2MP front-facing shooter enables video chats using Google Talk.

The XOOM has been blessed with the Android Market and supports Adobe Flash Player which is downloadable from the store. Other features include a gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting. Motorola says you can get about eight to ten hours of video playback from the XOOM and apparently it charges in half the time of some competing tablets. Neat.

Has taken over the past 7 months as been an interesting one. When we first saw it at CES back in January, it was under the code-name "Etna" and was expected to be out in the Spring. But that didn't happen, as "Etna" was sacked due to some hardware issues, and "Targa" took its place as the (newer) DROID BIONIC with an expected Summer release.

But as Summer is drawing to a close, we've been hearing from more sources that the for both the Motorola DROID BIONIC and XOOM 4G LTE.

Luxa2 H4 stand - Xoom Forum

by jason8612

I used it this summer while visiting my folks. I was able to use it as a laptop - Had a USB hub hooked to the Xoom with a USB keyboard and mouse (thought about BT but figured I had the stuff already there, might as well use it). Speakers, and a HDMI monitor. Worked excellent. With all the apps, I didn't need any laptop or desktop and for the few times I needed to use a Windows machine, I either used a family members or just VNC'd to mine which also works great with the Pocket Cloud app.
