Motorola has come out with the world first ever device to be powered by Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), a platform designed especially for tablets that offer a multi-touch, holographic user interface. Released in February 2011, the Motorola Xoom is the beginning evolution for tablets with a 10.1” widescreen HD display and weighing at about 25oz which may be a bit heavier than expected but probably noticeable only at the moment it is pulled out from the box. The 1280×800 resolution delivers excellent gaming performance with built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting for new types of applications. The new tablet can be rotated for landscape viewing or the portrait mode depending on preference.

Motorola Xoom boasts a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor with each running at 1GHZ that offers blazing speed web-browsing. It runs on the Verizon Wireless mobile broadband 3G upgradeable connectivity and is readied with the Wireless-N WiFi networking with Mobile Hotspot capabilities as well as Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming. It is already great for working on the go with constant connectivity and high-speed data transfers even without the rumored free hardware upgrade to 4G sometime in May. The tablet also offers support for Adobe Flash Player to enable viewing websites, movies, games and more without compromise. An added advantage to Motorola’s collaboration with Google, the Motorola Xoom is added with some of the latest Google mobile innovations including Google Map 5.0 with 3D interaction and the access to over 3 million Google ebooks. With a healthy chunk of RAM onboard, heavier webpages are successfully rendered and panned across the display without protest, even with multiple tabs already opened.

The handsomely designed tablet comes with a readily built-in 32GB internal memory, its memory capacity is expandable with an optional microSD card upon the availability of future software upgrade. Shipped with a micro-HDMI out plug enables the Motorala Xoom to be easily hooked-up to the TV. The Motorola Xoom comes with a front-facing 2-megapixel fixed-focus camera and microphone ideal for video chats and it works in perfect harmony with the new Google Talk. Its rear 5-megapixel autofocus camera is designed for high-resolution stills which produced relatively good looking photos. It also captures videos in 720p HD that turned out pretty well too.

The Motorola Xoom is not chargeable via the USB port which is used for data transfer only. Using the supplied charger that’s shipped together or the optional standard dock, a full recharge of the battery power will go from 0 to 100 percent in just about 3 hours. The battery life is excellent, optimizing between 8 to 10 hours.

Though the Motorola android tablet may be shipped a little more pricier than the iPad at $799 but the Motorola Xoom offers more RAM, a faster processor, a bigger display and the microSD and Flash Player supports. The next-generation tablet is impressive due to Honeycomb and has certainly closed the gap between Android and iOS. The Motorola Xoom will definitely be a strong contender to the iPad or perhaps even the newly launched iPad2.
