fan. I bought the Xoom on launch day and have been impressed with its OS [operating system::os] flexibly, speed, DLNA, net browser speed and power manage capabilities. Its a must have tablet for Android users as of 5/16/11 (until I change my mind and move on to the next big thing). I spend 3-4 hours a day working this thing over on the go and at home. I just can't put it down :). The Camera works (video chat, photo to PDF and more) and a must have when selecting a tablet.

I have had my WiFi Xoom since Sunday, and I do not have a true complaint about it.

The biggest complaint I have read is the lack of apps. I don't think this is an issue. Most of the Apps from my Droid phone synced when I setup the Xoom (using the same gmail account), and most work [reliability::works] just fine on the Xoom (even though they aren't listed in the Market as an App for the Tablet). I think I had two apps I had to delete that ported over from my phone. The Xoom and the Amazon Cloud [other_attributes::clouds] Device [device::device] and App store are fantastic! This is the best purchase I have made in a long time!! What's great about it:  Everything What's not so great:  No complaints from me I would recommend this to a friend!

I really love my Motorola Xoom WiFi and the setup was quick and simple once I charged the battery. Software [operating system::software] is very easy to load [other_attributes::load] and is either free or very inexpensive [price::inexpensive] although not as much software is available as is for the iPad 2. My 6 year old Down Syndrome grandson took to the Xoom like a duck takes to water. I showed him an animal program the shows full-screen pictures of over 250 animals and plays the sounds they make as both adults and babies. He could not get enough of it and scrolled through the images like a pro. Xoom, like Down Syndrome children, is very tactile and he developed the correct touch for it in under 2 minutes. The front and rear cameras are great [general::the * is good] . I use the front for Skype and the rear for regular picture taking. You can link the Xoom with any of your email accounts or the entire Google experience with gMail and send pictures to your friends with ease. Also works [reliability::works] great with Youtube. As the Android library gets more and more applications . . . the Xoom will really give the iPad 2 a serious run for the money! What's great about it:  Fun and easy right out of the box! What's not so great:  Software availability not as great as iPad 2 I would recommend this to a friend!

Motorola's spin on Honeycomb's interface has the more futuristic Blade Runner look with the Honeycomb default wireframe as the background - which can be changed if it doesn't suit you. Five screens allow you to place your icons and widgets and one screen that acts as the default so you don't have to have the clock in the middle of the screen if you don't want it. From all screens you can Google stuff on your device through the keyboard or through voice, browse all your apps, add a widget to any of your five screens, lock the screen orientation, change notifications (alerts), view Wifi options and even change the brightness. It's a nice touch to see all of those common functionalities on the front and allows new users a chance to change common settings for different eyes and styles of use. Navigation is easy and well organized [other_attributes::organized] , settings are easily found as well as explanations of what each setting does to the tablet. Icon organizing is exactly the way you'd expect a tablet to behave. The Xoom's opaque crosshair-grid-style shows up when you tap and hold the icon for moving. During icon movement, you can see a vector outline of where your icon or widget will eventually land when you let go. Multitasking between apps works well but mostly for applications that are native to Android 3. Whenever the keyboard is being used it is responsive and feels natural - at least from a tablet point of view. Shifting between different character selections, numbers and symbols is seamless and although it takes a while to get used to, the speed is there. You can even elect to use voice to enter in text by tapping the Mic icon (located on the bottom right). You can even tailor the keyboard a bit by hitting the options icon on the bottom left. Within the keyboard's options you can turn on keypress sounds, have auto-caps, auto correction or show correction suggestions. Auto suggestions come in two flavors - modest and aggressive - which changes the frequency of how often it tries to correct your spelling. Selecting a set of text to delete is done by using two fingers to designate the beginning and end of a word or sentence. Barring any weird characters and smiley faces, we have found that estimate that we can type up to 30-45 words per minute depending on the complexity of the sentence.

I have had the opportunity of playing with both the iPad and Xoom after owning both. So I will compare both. GUI - iPad - I first owned the iPad and after playing with it I can see it as a tablet for beginners. Right out of the box anyone can use it. The GUI is straight forward [other_attributes::forward] and easy to use [usability::easy to use] . The icons are nice but the notifications were obtrusive, always stopping me in the middle of what I was doing until I dismissed them. Xoom - When i first started playing with the Xoom it took me a little while to figure out where everything was and how to run it. Afterwards I was 'xooming' right along. Everything was intuitive [usability::intuitive] and responsive. The notification system is nice [other_attributes::the * is good] as it showed up in the right hand corner without interrupting what I was doing. Winner - Xoom Software - iPad - The iPad does have a significant number of apps out there which gives it an advantage. But as it has had a year head start that will soon become a moot point. Apps made for the ipod touch are set in their native resolution [display::resolution] with the ability to magnify 2x. They look pixelated but not unusable. Xoom - The xoom has few tablet dedicated apps but that is slowly changing. Its native ability to expand each phone app to full size [other_attributes::full-size] is nice with graphics being a little fuzzy but not as bad as the iPad. Some of the apps did lag or stall upon loading but that should be fixed with updates. Winner - iPad (For now) Internet - iPad - The wifi iPad sped right along when connected to wireless routers but stalled when tethered to my phone. Safari is nice but lack of tab support and having to pop up other pages [other_attributes::pages] was annoying. But there are browsers out there in the app store that would do that no problem. Xoom - As with the iPad the Xoom sped right along when connected to wireless routers but had no problems [reliability::had no problems] when being tethered to my phone. Tab [tabs::tabs] browsing is nice and is something that should come standard right out of the box (hint hint Apple). Winner - Xoom Hardware - iPad - The iPad/iPad 2 have decent specs [specs::specs] in terms of hardware making it responsive and fast. I did not use the cameras on the iPad 2 but the resolutions from what I have read are nowhere near that of the Xoom. Xoom - The Xoom's duo-core proc and gig of ram makes the biggest of apps fly right along with little notice of slowing down. The cameras are as what you would expect, 5 MP with HD playback made for some good pictures [picture quality::photo] , not as good as my Droid X but comparable. The 2 MP front camera is more pixelated but given it's normal use of web cam about par with the computer equivalents. What's also nice is the Gorilla Glass screen that makes the tablet very scratch resistant. Even if it makes the Xoom slightly more heavy than the iPad. Winner - Xoom Overall - Right now the iPad has the advantage of its 65,000 apps but the Xoom will eventually catch up. Given the learning curve of the Xoom, even with owning an android phone, causes it to not be as quick to play with right out of the box. However, if you spend enough time with it, it becomes very hard to put down or use anything else. Honeycomb is new and as with all new software it has bugs. But given the software cycle Google uses, those problems will be short lived. If you want simplicity go with an iPad. If you want customizability go with a Xoom. What's great about it:  Honeycomb, Quick, long battery life, What's not so great:  SD card [card::card] not usable yet, lack of apps I would recommend this to a friend!

A quick browse of the Motorola store shows that they are selling the Wi-Fi + Verizon 3G version for $799.99. Amazon claims that their price of $799.99 is a $200 discount of the list of $999.99. How can Amazon legitimately claim that they are offering a discount when the manufacturer of the device is selling it for the same price as Amazon? Fraudulent? Probably not, but at least very misleading. Question. Why should I buy from Amazon if they treat me this way?

OVERALL SCORE=1.91
First an acknowledgement: while waiting to receive my Xoom I nearly cancelled my order after the iPad 2 was announced. I had a hard time deciding between the Apple device and the Android (Motorola) device. The main reason I chose to stick with the Xoom (and am glad I did) is the stock Android software and its multitasking function. The 3.0 software has a menu item at the bottom which allows you to swap between multi-tasked apps (similar to pressing/holding the Home button on an Android phone). Other factors in keeping the Xoom were microSD card slot (not yet active but hopefully soon via software update) and future 4G connectivity (there is a big delta between 3G (< 2 Mbps) and 4G (> 10 Mbps) speeds on Verizon). Note that if this device had any manufacturer bloatware on it (Motoblur) I would have chosen the Apple device. Yes, I hate bloatware. With that said this is what I've found: 1. Once I logged in on the device most of the apps associated with my account (I own a Droid X) were automatically downloaded and installed. This was seamless; I did elect to uninstall a few apps based on not wanting them on the tablet. While I agree there are a limited number of apps built specifically for the tablet, most apps looked/ran fine on the tablet form. I noted there was more than one app that (until it gets updated for the tablet) ran well only in portrait (or landscape) mode. Kind of a bother but I'm patient; as an original Droid owner I saw the Android Market literally explode over a 3 month period. 2. There was some initial OS lag for the first hour while the apps were installed and my iSyncr app (wireless) was syncing my music library to the device from iTunes. This was not unexpected; once the initial onslaught of apps were installed/synced the device ran flawlessly. The OS is very smooth and fast. 3. I love the email and calendar apps; the layouts are optimized whether in the landscape or portrait modes. My wife runs a home based business and utilizes Google apps. I set up the corporate email client to sync with my work email. Both ran great and synced well; the interface with Google apps is superior. Note that I did not activate the 3G service (yet). I mainly use at the house (wireless) but this will be a great device [device::device] to use on trips in the car so will likely either activate 3G/4G or tether to my X. It's interesting to note that often my Xoom dings that I have new email/calendar events from work prior to my work notebook computer which is tied (via my home internet connection) directly to my corporate network via VPN. 4. There are a good set [set::set] of accessories for the device from Motorola: - I bought the speaker dock to use in our kitchen as a way to charge and listen to music in the kitchen [other_attributes::kitchen] (also nice to have a net surfing tool in the kitchen). This is where multitasking and widgets come in handy [usability::handy] . We can see weather, email status, calendar agenda etc all from one home screen. Streaming Pandora radio [other_attributes::radio] in the kitchen is very nice [other_attributes::the * is very good] and convenient. Speaker quality is good but don't expect much power output. With the dishwasher running we need to turn volume up to near max to hear music well. The device is pricey. If you have the extra funds I'd recommend it. - The travel cover is nice [other_attributes::the * is good] and functional [other_attributes::functional] . I saw some reviews complaining that it was plastic. I agree it's overpriced but it performs the function I want it to which is to protect it while travelling. The ability to use it as a stand is a small bonus (I haven't use it yet as a stand). 5. Agree/disagree with other reviewers relating to the sound quality of built in speakers. Agree that they are poor [general::the * is bad] quality due to pointing backward. They actually sound [audio quality::sounds] very good (were they pointing toward you). For me, this was one of the items that led to a < 5 star rating. The speakers are adequate for watching a YouTube video or listening to a Google Voice mail but inadequate for enjoying music. Bottom line - if I want the device for listening to music I either (1) dock it (see item 4 above) or (2) put in a pair of Ultimate Ear headphones [other_attributes::headphones] (problem solved). 6. Multitasking [operating system::multitasking] is easier to navigate [usability::easy to navigate] on Honeycomb. There are multiple new benefits from 3.0 when it comes to multitasking. Do not underestimate the value of true multitasking on the tablet. This feature makes using the Android version of a tablet most similar to using a desktop computer (most folks who use desktop/laptop computers will take multitasking for granted). Conclusion: I like the purchase. I'd do it again. This device was probably rushed to market a bit (4G and microSD not active) but I'm glad it was. I'd prefer to have it now and get the additional functionality later (better late than never). While there are multiple news apps in the tablet portion of the app store already, I'd really like to have access [other_attributes::access] to 'The Daily' which is already on the iPad. Lack of 5 stars due to: 1) Speaker quality (although I really have nothing to compare to - not sure how good tablet [tablets::tablets] speakers are supposed to be). 2) Lack of microSD and Flash support at launch (two features it will have versus iPad). 3) Weight - again, I'm not sure how much I'd expect this to weigh (with 10.1' higher-than-ipad resolution screen and all the other features). This is a great tool to surf the web and get work done while parked in front of the TV. If you read in bed holding the device over your head while lying down you'll get a workout. Final thought: if you're on a tight budget and can tether with a cell phone I'd be tempted to wait until the wireless only version comes out to save a couple hundred bucks.

I purchased my Xoom Wi-Fi on the day it came out. I am an Apple fan and a fan of electronics. I thought long and hard before deciding whether to purchase an iPad 2 or Xoom. After looking at both products and reading their specs, I went with the Xoom and am happy that I did. There is absolutely nothing negative about the Xoom. Those complaining about Apps have obviously not used the Xoom. All the Apps that I use on my Evo 4G I am also able to use on my Xoom. I use my evo as a hotspot and it works flawlessly [reliability::works flawlessly] . This tablet is fast, responsive, and a joy to play with. It's not too heavy in my opinion and the 5MP camera and video works well with a lot of different options. It is not a 18MP camera, but its not intended to be one. It is great for its intended purpose. This tablet will only get better with time. Motorola did it right as far as making [other_attributes::making] a Great Tablet [tablets::tablets] that is better than the iPad. I agree with others that I would have marketed the product differently but as it goes to equipment, Xoom beats the iPad 2, hands down!!! A great purchase [general::great purchase] . What's great about it:  Everything! What's not so great:  Nothing yet. I would recommend this to a friend!

I was on the fence FOREVER about whether to buy a Xoom or an iPad 2. But I finally went with the Xoom. Why? Because it, and specifically Android's Honeycomb OS, best replicates my desktop experience, which is what I want a tablet to do. Easy multi-tab browsing. Lightning fast multitasking. Customizable widgets and app shortcuts. Flash support coming on 3/18, which means my kids will be able to play their favorite games on Playhouse Disney and Lego.com. USB port for easy file sharing with my PC. I could go on and on. The one reason I almost went with the iPad 2 was apps. Would there be enough Android apps to take advantage of the Honeycomb OS? The short answer is yes. I probably downloaded 20+ apps last night, and maybe 6 were table optimized. The other 14 ran great. Only a few failed to fill up the screen. But I was very pleasantly surprised at the number of useful and fun apps available to download on the android marketplace. My wife said my kids were playing the games (which I downloaded last night) on the xoom this morning [other_attributes::morning] before school, which was great to hear. My daughter picked it right up last night and was using it to do schoolwork on the IXL math website. So we are very pleased with the Xoom so far, and have no regrets at buying it over the iPad 2.

Pros: Beat everyone else to the market [market::market] except for Dell. (a backhanded Pro) Cons: The Pros don't even count when such an important feature is missing. AGPS isn't worth the powder it takes to blow your nose. Too big, it seems this device was designed for children (and adult children). Not business use. Typical Motorola BRICK thinking. Summary: AGPS is not functional for business use. Most self-respecting cellphone devices on the market today have a true GPS chip set in them. I haven't seen an Android phone out recently that doesn't have a GPS chip set. The most common because of its performance is the Sirf Star iii. When traveling, the loss of even one cellphone tower renders the goggle maps [other_attributes::maps] unusable and the accuracy is almost nil.. With a GPS chip set on board you don't lose your mapping ability. With a GPS chip set you can get accuracy down to 1-3m, not 20-300m that you get with AGPS.

The Xoom is a very useful tablet [tablets::tablets] . It has a few rough edges that will be fixed with software updates, but overall it serves all my needs. I'm an IT professional and I travel from site to site. I use this tablet all day and the battery lfe is amazing [other_attributes::the * is good] . The wifi is also amazing as it quickly picks up every network I have linked it to as I go! I use various wifi networks from my office, to each site, and when needed, my mobile phone hotspot! (A previous post noted it was wifi incompatible because it would not connect with Ad Hock networks... I haven't tried this because it is totally unnecessary! Ad hoc networking, the abiklity to connect to another device directly without a network access point, was replaced by Bluetooth years ago.) I use my Xoom at work to connect remotely to servers, computers that need fixing, and my own computer at the office. It connects perfectly to my corporate email server and I get my mail and calendar everywhere. At home, I use it to play games, read books and surf the web. I can even playonline games with Flash! What's great about it:  Fast, versitile, useful, great battery life [battery life::battery life] and WiFi What's not so great:  It's brand new, so apps are still being optimized for it, Quickly!

Not a long review here, just a short statement that confirms the Xoom can load a full web page (after you config it in the settings). Those who own an iPad and are used to seeing a white screen with a little bitty icon because Apple was to selfish or stupid to write [other_attributes::writes] code to support flash (flash is open to code writers and Adobe supplied the code to Apple), will be jealous. Most Internet sites, as well as other applications and devices use Flash. That's why the iPad sucks while on the Internet. Unless you like pages that don't load and show up practically empty. Also, you can use a different media player than iTunes, which is quite processor intensive cause of its size and again, an Apple app that is non-open architecture and now somewhat aging. Try Foobar2000 for the media player, or monkey media, which runs circles around iTunes. I like Apple products, but their decision to not support basics sofware like Flash simply because it's available on other devices (look it up on the Internet) is a huge mistake. That's what IBM did in the 1980's when data communications was taking off and IBM didn't want other companies to hook their equipment to IBM's stuff for communicating. It cost IBM dearly, and I predict it will cost Apple big time since people want open architecture on their apps to the extent they don't want to use just one manafacture's product for their needs.

This review compares the Internet browsing experience on the two devices (Xoom running Honeycomb 3.0.1 vs iPad2 running iOS4.3), in the following 7 categories: Operation: The quick control system on Honeycomb browser allows you to go back, forward, refresh, bookmark and other actions using your thumb when holding the tablet. This is not a default setting. User will need to enable it in the settings. Once enabled, the action bar will disappear and thus give you more real web page display. You can popup an action menu by swiping either of your thumbs from edge. The popup menus will display where your thumbnail swipes and is arranged around the thumb so that you can easily click an item. On iPad2, you move your hand to click on the buttons on the top. Winner: Xoom Multitab Browsing: On iPad2, to switch between tabs, you have to click the tabs button then chose a tab from the new tab grid view, this is a bit cumbersome especially if you are familiar with multi-tab browsing on a full pc/mac browser. On honeycomb, tabs are always displayed on the top just like they are on a desktop browser and switching tabs is a 1-click thing. Also, Xoom has 1GB memory while iPad2 has 512MB, whether this translates to more tabs supported on Xoom is yet subject to test. Winner: Xoom Typing: The touch screen keyboard on iPad2 is designed for a phone (just like the whole OS) and thus not suitable for the bigger tablet layout. Typing on it is even slower than typing on iphone, basically you are forced to type a full size keyboard using one finger. On honeycomb, you can download the thumb keyboard input method from market (free). This soft keyboard layout the keys around the bottom left and right corner so that you can type using both thumbs while holding the tablet with both hand, pretty much like when you type on smart phone with both thumbs, and thus achieve the same typing speed. Winner: Xoom Screen real estate: Xoom has a higher resolution 1280x800 comparing to ipad2's 1024x768. This means Xoom displays more content than iPad 2 when viewing the same page. Winner: Xoom Color Rendering:, ipad2 is the clear winner in this category due to the superior IPS screen [display::screen] it's using while Xoom is using TFT which is common on laptops. Basically Xoom gives you the same color as normal laptop, while iPad2 gives you the color as on macs. Winner: iPad2 Flash: Xoom supports Flash while iPad2 doesn't. It means there a great number of websites that xoom can visit normally while iPad2 simply can't. According to a survey done in 2008 , somewhere between 30% and 40% of all pages tested contained Flash files. Most popular websites already started to provide versions compatible to iPad, but it could be annoying when you bump into one that doesn't. Winner: Xoom Speed: according to several tests, Honeycomb browser on Xoom is on par with if not slightly faster than safari on iPad2 . Winner: Xoom and iPad2

Yet another example of why Android and tablets are not ready for prime time. The hardware and display are still sluggish moving back and forth between applications - multi-tasking. The experience of using the tablet left me tapping my fingers, wanting to go get coffee and wishing for a real computer. Same problems with [reliability::problem with] iPad and iPad 2. Xoom supports Adobe Flash that the iPad and iPad 2 do not support. Keep your money, save a little longer and purchase a computer you will really like - a Samsung series 9 or one of the new thin, SSD Mac notebooks. I would say the value of the Xoom, for me, is about $250.00, I would not want to pay more. What's great about it:  It has Adobe Flash support the iPad and iPad 2 don't have. What's not so great:  Too much money for too little horsepower! No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

I've had the Xoom for about 3 weeks now and have to say I have some mixed feelings. I'd been using an iPad for about 6 months leading up to my Xoom purchase and was tired of some of the crazy Apple policies and a few quirks of the system and the 'multitasking' that wasn't. The Xoom is pretty good [other_attributes::the * is very good] hardware [hardware::hardware] with the exception that the speakers really couldn't be in a worse place. The Negatives: The speakers are always pointed away from you and if you put it down they are usually muffled. The speakers also are not very loud and distort at the 3 highest settings. Perhaps the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1' will be better at that. Overall, there are almost no apps for it and the ones that are available are very poor [general::the * is very bad] in quality. Most apps won't run, crash [reliability::crash] immediately, or only use a very small portion of the screen. The built-in browser has a tendency to freeze or crash [reliability::crash] very often. The keyboard [keyboard::keyboard] is definitely inferior to the iPad. Touch sensitivity is off in that depending where on the screen you are you have to touch above where you want it to register by differing amounts. YouTube application is not very smooth, even though the wall (viewable in only one small portion of the interface [interface::interface] ) is a neat trick. The screen also is a little fuzzy and you can see vertical lines (when holding in landscape mode which is about the only way you can really use the thing) that get really annoying. Reading on it is a pain. The Positives: Quick application launch, you can browse the device via a data cable or Bluetooth (unlike the iPad) and copy files. Camera works pretty well, though it has some room for improvement and occasionally shoots very odd color profiles at random. No license fee or required Mac in order to develop apps for it and really good documentation [other_attributes::documentation] for developers online. Overall, this is a fun toy for tinkering with, though it's not what you'd really expect from a tablet device. It doesn't 'just work' but it does have some flexibility. Basically, if you enjoy the frustrating aspects of Linux on the desktop you will enjoy this, too. If you just want something that works, has lots of apps, and sounds [audio quality::sounds] nice then get the iPad2 (which, I have to say, is refreshingly lighter than this thing).

I have always had Droid phones and in comparison to the iPhone they are pretty similar with pros and cons to both. I tend to like Droids better. There is way more free apps in the android market than in the apple market. So when I read reviews about the Xoom stating app problems, I didn't mind because if one app closes, you just uninstall and download a new and improved one! Who cares? They are free:) Anyway, I am very impressed with the Xoom. It is light, the display [display::display] is crystal clear, it makes my 3 year old laptop look like an antique. I can fit the Xoom in my purse so it is easy for me to take it around. It has everything in one. Web browsing, camera/camcorder (with movie editing), eReader, mp3 player, video player, skype, and on and on. Now if you can get microsoft office on these, I will never go back to a laptop or a desktop! Technology keeps getting better and better. What's great about it:  Convenient, long battery life, and fun I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had my Xoom tablet for just over a week now, and it is a stellar device [device::device] . Physically, the build is sturdy [other_attributes::sturdy] and easy to hold when used in landscape mode (the default). It does feel a little bit more unwieldy in portrait, but the only time I ever bother with portrait is when I'm using it to read comic books (which fit perfectly on the long screen). Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) is lovely to look at and runs very well on the dual-core Tegra 2 processor. Because this is a 1st generation device, I have encountered a few bugs and unfinished aspects to Honeycomb, but these are rare and rarely bothersome. Keep in mind that it is first generation. That said, because the Xoom is also a Google Experience device, I expect updates to be swift, but even if Motorola fails on that front, the unlocked bootloader means that the community will likely pick up the slack. I'm an old hand at Android, but this is my first tablet, and it's the best Android device I've owned. Bottom line: if you use a lot of Google services and have been interested in picking up a tablet, the Xoom is the best thing available for you right now. It is somewhat expensive [price::expensive] given the lack of certain features at launch (LTE and SDcard support primarily), but those features are incoming, and I think they'll make the $800 price tag worth it. But even without those features, this is still a powerful device [device::device] running a great OS [operating system::os] .

Tablets are in no means replacements for laptops so I should be paying almost the same price or even more. Updated on May 4, 2011 also the power button and speakers on the back of the device are a slight drawback.

Well, I decided to get the xoom as soon as the wifi verison came out. I'm a fan of android, seeing how great their mobile [mobile::mobile] operating system operates (a former owner of the droid 1.) This tablet runs like a beast, very fast, pretty stable, a few apps that aren't updated to run on honeycomb might have a few problems but no big issue. I see this tablet has a super fast version of my laptop [other_attributes::laptop] , which is great. I travel quite a bit so this tablet is going to be with me everywhere I go, along with my Droid 2 Global. My friend owns the Ipad 1, along with my boss, who were both in awe after seeing my xoom in action. I didn't shove the xoom in their face and made them like it, it just happened. This product will get better and better overtime as google updates honeycomb. I predict the android tablet will go the same was as the smartphones have, we all know how that went. Also the battery life IS GREAT [battery life::the * is good] . It takes me lots of effort to drain the battery. What's great about it:  Fast, pretty stable, honeycomb, dual cameras [general::cameras] , nice browser [web browsing::browser] , GREAT BATTERY LIFE [battery life::battery life] . What's not so great:  Updates required for sdcard fuctionality, and to make honeycomb even better! I would recommend this to a friend!

The navigation app is great [other_attributes::the * is good] and very useful. I think compared with an iPad2 is a better deal to get the XOOM because all the software included and the hardware is better. I wouldn't change it for the iPad2. The only issue I have with it is that is heavy compared to the iPad2. However, this is a minor issue. Honeycomb still needs more apps and it sometimes lags when there's too much going on at once. But overall my experience has been very favorable and I cannot regret getting the XOOM 3G. It's an awesome device [device::device] .

The Xoom is a masterpiece. The Xoom has expandable memory through a micro-sd card at the top of it. It's as easy as switching a memory card in your digital camera. The Xoom also has an HDMI output which can be used for speakers, to connect to your computer, or to connect to a television. Very convenient [other_attributes::convenient] and high quality. The processor is a dual core 1GB processor that is lightning fast. I play a lot of different game Apps that I have downloaded and every one of them runs smoothly [reliability::runs smoothly] unlike on my iPad. There are more Apps on the iPad, but not that many more. If you want to use something ridiculously stupid you might be better off with an iPad, but when it comes down to it the Xoom runs most Android apps (which is a ton) and has all of the popular apps. So, Angry Bird fans, Pageonce fans, etc. please rejoice. They are all available. MANY APPS THAT YOU PAY FOR ON THE IPAD ARE FREE FROM ANDROID. Angry Birds [other_attributes::birds] is a good example of that. The Android is also made with Gorilla Glass which has proven to be quite nice. I broke an iPad by dropping it from pocket height. I dropped the Android while getting out of my SUV and it just scratched the corner. Still works perfectly [reliability::works perfectly] . No cracked glass. Overall, it's easy to use [usability::easy to use] (Honeycomb takes about 15 minutes to learn how to use. An hour for someone who has never touched a Google product) and is incredibly functional. Flash [flash::flash] works [reliability::works] like a charm and you can unlock the Android for complete versatility which is actually surprisingly easy. No BS with iTunes where you are required to buy their music in their format. You can play virtually anything downloaded from anywhere. Love it. I would highly recommend this [general::highly recommend this] for business, personal use, and for the guy that needs to have every gadget. I literally have had the iPad 2 and the Xoom side by side (wife has the iPad 2) as well as my old iPad and I can tell you the Xoom DESTROYS the iPad 2 which is more like an iPad 1.5 as it's upgrades are minor. Also, the Xoom has a widescreen which is what everything in the world should be. It's great for movies etc. Gorgeous picture [picture quality::photo] . Side Note: I'm an Apple hater. Always have been, always will be, but when it comes down to it they usually have the 'must have' features that others products are lacking (ignoring the fact that their products are incomplete and rarely ever are easy to use [usability::easy to use] when you need to upgrade. Try upgrading an iPod and you will understand). I'm not a delusional Apple hater though. I still buy their products when it merits it. They just fell flat with the iPad 2.

I've been very pleased with the Xoom. Once its upgraded to 4G, performance should be outstanding. A few tweaks to Honeycomb and a bit more App development and I think I could retire the old laptop. But until then, the built inHotspot feature gets the laptop on-line when I do need it.

I have had this tablet since launch and use it every day. I'm an above average tech savvy person so most issues that have occurred in regards to force closing or freezing have been fixed by updating the kernel and overclocking. Currently my device is running at 1.6ghz with very little to no hiccups what so ever. The infamous keyboard lag is gone and this tab becomes alive once you overclock it. Seems much of the issue is from excessive bloatware that honeycomb carries with it is what bogs this tab down. After updating my kernel I also now have the convenience of using the SD card (pretty sad a developer beat Motorola to it) . Although rooting this device is a controversial decision and DOES void your warranty (I do not condone rooting nor am I promoting it rather expressing how it helped my device) it does help to work out the kinks Motorola's lackluster support has been reluctant to provide. A great fix for this device has come in way of the 3.1 update which virtually helped out most sofware based issues, a few notable repairs within the 3.1 update is it allows for multiple Bluetooth devices to run at once I.e. mouse, keyboard, and headset which is my common setup, and that apps seem to open and work opposes to constant force close, oh and with an otg (On The Go) USB cable you can now connect wired keyboards or mouse and eventually will be able to use mass storage in the near future. Even without rooting this device the 3.1 update is leaps and bounds above the prior editions. This tab is now a viable contender with virtually no force closes or lack of apps due to this update, and the ipad is a little less appealing due to this being I even considered trading this device for one. What's great about it:  use BT mouse and keyboard seemlessly, flash, screen size, tough as nails. What's not so great:  heavy, keyboard lag, no sd support from manufacturer, no netflix. I would recommend this to a friend!

First, I did not give a great review to the Ipad. If fact, I beat it up. Finally, some competition. I have problems with [reliability::problem with] hardware [hardware::hardware] , features, price. The big knock against IPad was no FLASH. Seriously - no Flash on the xoom either?!? What's the point? That's the first problem. Another is that it is still CHOPPY and SLOW! I used this for two days and the scrolling is terrible [other_attributes::the * is bad] - NOT smooth! That's too bad because I was really looking forward to a fast smooth scrolling O.S and Flash. Another baffling feature is the speakers on the back. Not only do these speakers [audio quality::speakers] suck (you will know what I mean when you hear them) but they are on the back?! I played a movie and found myself wanting to put my ear around the back so I could hear it. All this for only $800?! What a ripoff. You will get far more buying a light weight laptop for the same price - oh, and you will have all the software that goes with either Windows or Apple. Finally, you have the 3G...which will soon be 4G but you will need an expert to upgrade that feature once you get there. Ok. So not really 'finally'. I have one more thing to add. I don't need 3G or a contract that cost $50 per month. I would like to get only the hardware I need. So, yes - as much as I knocked IPad and everything Apple, I will most likely get a $500 Ipad 2. Given neither one has Flash, I will have to give the smooth working and mostly debugged Ipad the nod. This review is based on two full days of use. One other minor feature I did not like was that it still shows up as a mobile device - thus you get the mobile websites. This is minor but annoying. Bottom line here is that for $800 this is supposed to be a premium tablet. That means it is the best and full featured. But it is incomplete. SD, 4G, Flash, and other features are not ready yet - they will work (maybe) with a future software release (noting that the Flash will have an off switch - what's that tell you?) By the time you will even use the 4G (which is not ready or standardized yet), you will be upgrading. The speakers are terrible [audio quality::the * is bad] - listen [other_attributes::listening] for yourself before buying. Why they put them on the back is simply a mystery. This Tablet is simply not finished. In my opinion, it was rushed to market. Seriously disappointed in this Xoom. Update: 3/6/11 After looking at the HP TouchPad more closely, I would have to say that it could be a real winner (depending on price). It really does do all the things you want in a tablet - real multi tasking, fast, excellent tools for working with different software apps and hardware (see Palm's website). When I see their software and how smooth the new Touchpad works (Email, Web, Office tools, phone interface, cameras, etc.) I am impressed (where the Xoom looks incomplete and clunky - simply adding stuff people are asking for as oppose to the Touchpad where it was designed ground up to work). It does look like a finished product that I will buy (99% certain) - assuming everything is ready (unlike the xoom). I will have (after this Friday) an Ipad 2 for apps and music and other entertainment, but for all the stuff I really need (business needs, web surfing, and a big one - PRINTING! (in case you didn't notice the other tablets make printing nearly impossible). HP works seamlessly with printing and scanning tools. I am liking what I see - a solid feel and possibly a home run. (although it will be .3 pounds heavier that the Ipad 2). Also, unlike Xoom (and more like Ipad) the Touchpad won't be tied to one of the phone companies(which is a terrible thing). Update 3/8/11 Flash. I have been reading reports done on Flash and battery life. The reason none of the tablet makers have not been putting Flash into the tablets is that it takes a 8 hour battery and turns in into a 2-3 hour battery. Adobe, like Microsoft, have done pretty much nothing about their resource hogs. I hammered Apple for not putting Flash into their tablet. Now that I see the results of testing (and hence one of the reasons HP scrapped Slate), I understand the tablet makers not putting flash into their tablets. Adobe is the real problem here. All this time they point fingers at everyone else and blame them for not using it when it is them that is to blame. They should have released a tablet friendly version a long time ago. But they have done pretty much nothing and are leaving it up to the tablet makers to figure [other_attributes::figure] out the problem. My guess is that Xoom did not at Flash as they would have been beat up over terrible battery life [battery life::battery life] . If this feature is ever released to the tablet as promised, I would like to hear from Xoom users how hot their tablet gets and how much shorter their battery life is. My guess, from looking at data, is that it will not be good. Another update: Android MarketWatch reports 'more than 50 malicious apps are uncovered, raising questions about whether Google is serious enough about vetting apps.' This will not (well..never say not but it will be far more difficult to) affect Ipad or HP Touchpad since they are closed systems. But any system that is open like the Android system is will face the same problems. UPDATE 3/8/11 Good news, Motorola insiders are saying that the Flash upgrade will happen in June. They report it's Adobe's problem. 10.1 was choppy and did not work [reliability::did not work] so that was not used. 10.2 might work. UPDATE 3/9/11 And the biggest problem [general::big problem] (aside from stability) is the lack of intuitiveness [other_attributes::intuitiveness] . If you have used Google Chrome - which I have for about one year now, you will notice that most of the features are in the worst most unintuitive places. Simple things like sort bookmarks are nearly impossible to find. Along with clear history and several other features, you would swear the programming team has zero experience with user interface. But seeing how Google programmers don't build user interfaces too often, how would they know. See this snippet from Trip Chowdhry (Global Equities Research). His comments ring true of Google user interfaces. Trip Chowdhry with Global Equities Research today insists there's a problem [other_attributes::problems] , writing [other_attributes::writing] that Xoom sales are 'very weak [other_attributes::the * is very bad] ,' with the tablet suffering from 'poor software quality [other_attributes::software quality] ' in Honeycomb, and poor battery life [battery life::battery life] . As Chowdhry sees it, without citing specific sources for his conclusions, 'Google Honeycomb is suffering from frequent application freezes and crashes [reliability::crash] ,' and 'the battery life is very inconsistent - lasts sometimes for 2 hours, and sometimes for 6 hours. The battery standby life is mere 10 - 12 hours vs. 30 days on Apple iPad.' Further, Chowdhry sees numerous user interface issues: The 'auto-wrap' on text is 'completely missing' when text is magnified on screen, 'which just shows, Google is missing attention to simple details,' in Chowdhry's opinion. Overalll, the Honeycomb UI 'is extremely complicated [other_attributes::complicated] and confusing,' he writes, and, 'users are frustrated' because the UI 'just does not come naturally - you really have to work on it,' according to users he's heard from. Chowdhry's conclusion is that Google's approach of, '`By the Geeks, For the Geeks, Of the Geeks' will struggle to get mass adoption - probably will be relegated to Tech Community only.'

So disappointed ... not sure what else to say except to list what is wrong and no wonder they are going bankrupt! OK so here goes the list: 1. First off took 4 of these to get it to charge, in talking with Motorola support it has been a problem... 2. Apps either don't turn from landscape to portrait and back and forth... or they force you into landscape ... not very handy [usability::handy] if you are on a plane... or in a small space where you cannot turn it... NEVER had that problem [reliability::have the problem] on my IPAD or my IPAD2. 3. Power button in the back ??? HUH ? At least the dumb playbook has the power button in a logical place... def NOT worth the price [price::worth the price] or the hassle Good luck! What's great about it:  not a whole lot... maybe the micro-sd? What's not so great:  most everything else... see above No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

I chose the Motorola Xoom over the Apple iPad for a couple reasons. The first major reason was simply that the iPad was sold out everywhere. I decided to give the Xoom a chance since I already own a Motorola Droid X, and I love it [general::i love it] . The Adobe Flash support on the Xoom was another selling point for me. The browser app loaded with the tablet doesn't load flash on ESPN.com unless you do some tweaks, but if you download the Dolphin HD browser, everything works [reliability::works] like a charm. The bookmarks can be organized on this browser as well. The Honeycomb OS is awesome [other_attributes::the * is good] . It is so much more customizable than the iPad OS, which makes the Xoom feel more like a computer rather than an over-sized phone. The OS has 5 different screens that you can customize with your apps, widgets, and other items. It's plenty of space, as I've only used up about three screens. I also love the on screen notifications regardless of what application might be running. The one big advantage the iPad2 has on the Xoom however, is App selection. The Honeycomb tablets started coming out earlier this year, whereas the iPad has been out for over a year now. Many tablets are in production and will be released this year, which will inspire developers to create more applications dedicated strictly for the Android tablets. 2011 is truly the year of the tablet! The standard virtual keyboard [keyboard::keyboard] that comes with Honeycomb is nice, but i prefer the Thumb Keyboard that is available in the marketplace. It allows for a lot faster typing while holding the tablet with both of your hands in landscape mode. The battery lasts me all day. I have gone over two days without having to recharge under moderate use. Google services such as Gmail, Talk, and Youtube work flawlessly [reliability::works flawlessly] . The dual cameras are decent [other_attributes::the * is good] quality and have some nice effects [other_attributes::effects] built in. The games [games::games] work [reliability::works] like a charm. I have hooked up my old N64 games with a emulator, and they run flawlessly. I play them using a Wii remote and nun-chuck (It's a Bluetooth controller). It's a lot of fun! The 1280 x 800 resolution [display::resolution] is really nice for watching videos [other_attributes::watching videos] , viewing webpages, playing games, and everything else. I paid $599 for the 32GB WIFI version. It's also nice to have an expandable [other_attributes::expandable] SD card slot to add more memory to it. I truly feel as if this device can be a laptop replacement for the average user. I highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks for reading! By the way, I am not a Apple hater or anything. I am writing this review from a Macbook Pro, I have an iPod classic [other_attributes::classic] , and I used to have an iPhone. I prefer having the open source, flash support, and customizable OS. Apple really restricts your ability to do what you want on your device unless you jailbreak it or whatever, which apparently voids your warranty. The Apple store does have a lot of great apps, but again, Android will have more apps developed strictly for tablets since so many manufacturers have them in current/future production. It's all healthy competition between the two juggernauts that is Apple and Google. What's great about it:  Honeycomb OS, Hardware, Battery Life, Customization, Size & Portablility, Speakers, and so much more! What's not so great:  App selection at the moment, but I believe it will grow exponentially this year and into the future. I would recommend this to a friend!

Xoom. Once its upgraded to 4G, performance should be outstanding. A few tweaks to Honeycomb and a bit more App development and I think I could retire the old laptop. But until then, the built inHotspot feature gets the laptop on-line when I do need it.

day. Of course at launch it was a solid offering that was a little premature due to honeycomb being new and lacking apps. but that is changing very quickly. I'd say the biggest advantages are that the hardware is VERY solid, you will get 4g speed, honeycomb is a very polished operating system and on top of it all, this is THE honeycomb tablet. It will be upgraded the most quickly because it isn't something that has an alternate interface like HTC sense or samsungs touchwiz or even motoblur (thanks for keeping it stock, motorola). Email integration is better than anything apple offers and the media apps are actually surprisingly good. And the android tablet market is growing quickly, it gets nothing but better daily

Ipad as we already have an Ipad in the family. Since I use the Xoom for business I was less concerned about applications and more so about durability. The ability to play Flash content so I could watch news events was a big decision.

I like the full HD screen [display::screen] for movies and Like the Android Honeycomb operating system. It Sync's great with our company exchange server for email, calendar, and contacts.

First of all, I love my Xoom. It's fantastic, it is exactly what a Tablet should be - Fast, Stable, Upgradeable, Connected. I have to admit, the Xoom is my third tablet. Yes, I know that's kind of sad but it's true. I bought an Ican 10' Tablet (see my review there) which I had high hopes for, but it had terrible support, never got the promised upgrade from 2.1, and ultimately proved to be too slow to really use. Then I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7' Tablet for my wife, and generally I like it a lot. Good interface [interface::interface] , nice and fast, and solid 3G for constant contact. The small screen meant that most of my 'phone apps' worked well on it without getting too stretched, but at the same time it was too small to [f::is too small to] really be a 'full tablet' and replace carrying my laptop around. And then you walked into my life. Oh, Motorola Xoom you beautiful thing. I've been waiting years for someone like you... I bought an off-plan Verizon model from Fry's in Palo Alto who knocked $130 off their price to match the best Internet price I could find in the 15 minutes of surfing I did while in their store. (Thank you Fry's!) I then added a $50/month no-contract plan from Verizon, which combined with the STRONG WiFi reception means I'm pretty much always connected at serious speeds. As others have said here, Verizon is promising a 4G version and I've signed up to be notified, but I don't think you really even need it. I've been using the Google Talk video chat with the Tablet through WiFi perfectly. I'm obviously a techie geek, but even I have a strange George Jetson feel doing full screen video chats on this tablet, and want to keep looking behind to see what's there. The power button [other_attributes::power button] was no problem for me, I don't really understand what the issue there is. The volume controls on the other hand, I agree are terrible. With my silicone case [other_attributes::silicone case] on, they are completely useless [general::, * is very bad] . You have to peel it back to adjust the volume. My biggest complaint though is the SD card. I have a 32GB Micro SD that I brought across, but the Xoom won't recognize it yet. XDA already has a ROM to update the Xoom to see external SD's, but I'll wait for Motorola to fix this one. In the mean time the onboard 32GB is fine, but 64GB would be great, especially since I have it and it's there... (this would have garnered 5 stars [other_attributes::stars] ) The screen is beautiful [display::the * is good] with no solarization (flashing when you tough it) like on my Ican. I even don't mind the interface which is pretty pure Honeycomb, so I have felt no real need / urge to root the device. So far it can do just about everything I want it to, except for Titantium Pro I guess... Anyhow, if you are thinking about an iPad or other Tablet, this is the one! - Great screen [display::screen] - Honeycomb pre-loaded - Kindle [other_attributes::kindle] looks amazing on it - Two, real actual working cameras (Front & Rear) - Not TOO heavy - Great Battery Life [battery life::battery life] - Genuine Google App Market pre-loaded At long last I think I might actually not need to buy another Tablet, and this weekend I took my first trip without taking my laptop... and it worked! May this be the last Tablet review I write. (for a while!)

I had my doubts thinking that the OS might be laggy or not up to par. But WOW was I eating my words. My brother has an Ipad 2 and after using my xoom he wanted to exchange his ipad for the xoom. Although the xoom may not have AS many apps as the ipad family, I believe it has significantly more potential. If you want to play games or do 'artsy' things buy the ipad/2, if you want something practical to take notes, do business related activities, and other helpful things then get the xoom. The battery life has lasted me 2 day under heavy use. I highly, highly recommend the [general::highly recommend this] xoom, if you don't like it (which I know you will like it) then you can return it for the lesser ipad 2 which is for the more simple minded.

If anybody can compete with the speed of the this tablet, they're a formidable opponent, but nobody is going any faster anytime soon. Browsing: The browsing is nice [other_attributes::the * is good] . It's Google Chrome, tabbed browsing. You can have incognito tabs and what not, it renders fairly quickly and is very responsive to the pinch to zoom and all that jazz. I use it for most of my browsing now, I don't really like using my laptop all too much since I got my XOOM and Atrix 4G. Screen shot capabilities, and other add-ons would be nice. But I'm sure that's going to come with time. Battery: The battery lasts pretty long. In one day I video chatted for 45 minutes, played a Tegra 2 game for about 2 hours and left the Wi-Fi on all day. Plus random playing and app downloading, and I got almost 3 full days of use. That's no joke. Multitasking: My biggest gripe is the multitasking. The tablet multitasks, and it does it well, but I can't switch between apps as easily as I would like. There is a button that shows the 5 most recently used apps and that's it. But I think something like the webOS or Playbook with cards, or a 3D display of running apps (brought up by a two finger swipe from the bottom of the screen for example) would be the finishing touch on an otherwise perfect device [device::device] . Apps: I know a lot of people are complaining about the number of apps currently available, but be patient. The developer community for Android is huge and the developer kit was just recently released. There will be thousands of apps available within 2 months I would say. Until then there are plenty already made specifically for the XOOM to keep you occupied, and even more that work with the XOOM regardless. Ports: I have a few more gripes here.. The port placement is a bit awkward, and even worse with the Folio case MADE BY MOTOROLA because then I have to leave the case open to charge the XOOM. I'm slightly annoyed by the lack of a USB port, I would really enjoy being able to connect a thumb drive or something to my tablet. Maybe they'll make those in micro one day? Sound [audio quality::sounds] : Sound quality [audio quality::sound quality] is great, I've never had an issue [reliability::has * issues] with the sound [audio quality::sounds] yet. It is loud [audio quality::loud] , clear, no distortion, and over all fantastic. Built Quality: Construction quality is durable [reliability::durable] . The 3 buttons (volume up, volume down, power) are well placed and feel very strong and secure. The device itself seems very solid. I'm terrified of dropping it, not because I think it'll break, but because I paid a lot of money for it and I would cry if it did. Button Placement: Lastly, the button placement. I love how the power button is strategically placed in an area where I would naturally touch as I turned the XOOM from view to view, or handed it to a friend. The volume rockers are pretty standardly placed, nothing super special about their location. All in all, this is an amazing tablet [tablets::tablets] . I don't regret my decision to purchase it and I know I will be more and more thankful for it as they start to tweak the OS a bit more and send out updates, and once I get the Flash support, SD card support and 4G all in here.

I got my Xoom just five days before writing this and I have made it my lifeline. This tablet is my desktop, laptop, Ipod, digital camera, and smartphone all in one...portable [usability::portable] and perfect. After trying it for one week at home and at work, I can say it is the best investment [price::investment] I've made. At first, I wanted the Ipad 2 because I am an Apple fan and it was priced juist right. But researching the Xoom and testing it at my local Best Buy, I decided it had the performance I needed. I'm not completely used to the Honeycomb OS but all things work out with practice. I totally recommend this for anyone needing a tool for their business to keep organized! The battery life on it was awesome [general::the * is good] . Pushed it for 9 and a half hours and had 20% battery life left. I love that it can last an entire workday while a laptop has to be charged twice or more during the day.

The thing has just about everything and consider that it is so portable [usability::portable] . SlideIt app makes me forget it didn't come with Swype. The Market has really ramped up and has thousands of apps that are Honeycomb compatible. Won't even reference the other tablets because this is THE ONE. The price was adequate to me based on all of the features and specs...and I was fine with the 3G/Wifi model coming out first because I wanted the portability and limitless access that this model offered. Better than a laptop to me...especially if I decide to get the physical keyboard (the SlideIt app is already great for key [other_attributes::keys] entry). I use it at work for tracking my workload, my to-do tasks, my everywhere calendar and infocenter (immediate access to the FDA website in a Pharma workplace). It really compliments my Droid X. I recommend to anyone who is familiar with the Android OS and those who like flexibility [other_attributes::flexibility] and the ability to customize every screen to your desire...you can reinvent it every month if you like, that way it is like buying a new toy/device each month without spending the money.

I am both an Ipad user and Google user. I have several Ipod touches, Ipads (1), droid x phone, and now the Xoom. I spent days watching every review on YouTube and reading what ever I could before making the purchase Saturday. My thoughts were this device could actually replace my laptop on business trips as both a sales tool and email/calendar device. However after 3 days of use I can say that is not the case. Overall I am happy with my Xoom even thought there are issues with some core Google Apps (youtube, and Google Books for example) I could use Youtube on the web but not the app. It will not download for some reason. I did a search for this and it seems common. Perhaps I should exchange mine for another one and see if I have the same problem. I factory reset the device several times to see if this would help and it still has the same issues [reliability::has * issues] . There is some lag but that is because there is several apps using resources ...generally it works very smoothly. A huge disappointment [general::huge disappointment] was the fact there are so many app compatibility issues and the sd card still does not work. That is more of a Google issues but Motorola did jump to be first to market so in my opinion has to bare that cross. My biggest comment is that it takes time to get used to the operating system. The Ipad will have a small learning curve and you can hit the ground running. Most of the reviews that did the VS Ipad2 that did a circle back in 30 days were like wow this is really growing on me. This may be a bad example but its like drive stick to me...horrible at first but a great experience once you get used to it. Its also not for everyone. On the sales side it does have less applications so the opportunity to craft [other_attributes::crafted] good sales [other_attributes::sales] tools is tough with the Xoom. Apple does have the best eco system for apps and Google just has not gotten there yet. I like my Xoom and if your are ok with the newness issues this is your device....I wouldn't blame you if you waited another 3-6 months though. Over all its a good experience but it could have been great if they held off on brining it to market. Oh yea the Netflix issues with the processor [other_attributes::processor] and Google security is a huge bummer. I am guessing it may be over a year before we see Netflix. (see this on the web) I would recommend this device to a friend but they would have to be a bit more tech savy. For my 80 year old mom I would her an Ipad...for my son the Xoom. I also do not use I tunes except for apps. I still mostly rip content from CDS or downloads from Amazon. What's great about it:  screen size, widgets, and options What's not so great:  sd card does not work yet, android tablet market not there yet, software issues with core Google apps I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this tablet on the first week it was sold in the market with no contract. This was after weeks and weeks of evaluating all the specs of existing tablets and future tablets coming out. Since I am an engineer my decision is always guided by data and actual testing. I can't be influenced by fad or what is famous out there like how people go for Ipad2 just because it is the 'it' thing inspite of inferior specs [specs::specs] compared to its competition. I am very satisfied with this tablet [tablets::tablets] for the following reasons which I pad 2 does not have: 1. Tegra 2 Processor does give it lightning speeds as seen in download speeds and response time 2. Honeycomb OS gives this tablet a real feel that you can forget about your notebook. It is almost a real substitute for a laptop 3. True Multitasking not just a trick to make u think you are multitasking like what Apple did with Ipad2 4. Multi-tab browsing! Just a joy to use this 5. Flash Support! yes! Flash support....I can watch videos on Amazon on demand videos which uses flash. I read that pretty soon there will be another upgrade to the current Flash 10.2 running on Xoom. I pad 2 owners can only dream of this 6. 2 Mega pixel cameras on the front and 5 megapixel camera on the back.....now Steve Jobs commanded Apple followers that they don't need cameras on their Ipad2 so he gave them sub micromegapixel cameras on I pad 2. I don't like being told what I need, so I in fact demand that all Tablets have 5 megspixel cameras . My Xoom takes beautiful pictures [picture quality::photo] with vibrant colors! I definitely am very happy with [general::very happy with] my $799 Motorol Xoom! What's great about it:  Superior Hardware [hardware::hardware] , Multitasking [operating system::multitasking] , Cameras [general::cameras] , Honeycomb, Flash support What's not so great:  Some apps for this tablet are still buggy,not Honeycomb's fault [reliability::faulting] though I would recommend this to a friend!

I consider myself a gadget guy - I've always enjoyed tinkering around with settings on everything to make it 'mine'. Having a closely controlled environment has never been satisfying for me. Enter the Xoom...I bought an iPad 2 for my wife and was considering getting one for myself but now I'm very glad I didn't. Only the Xoom allows me to make the tablet 'mine'. Don't get me wrong...the iPad is a nice consumer [other_attributes::consumer] tablet for the masses...but the Xoom is a power-user's tablet. It can do anything the competition can and then some...with flash support and it's open source heritige. While Honeycomb-optimized apps are lacking today given the explosive growth of Android this is surely going to change rapidly. I've been very happy with [general::very happy with] my Xoom as I move into hour 25 of ownership. If you've used Android on a phone before you'll be at home in the interface...and the longer you use it the more you learn. Pros: After the latest firmware [other_attributes::firmware] update the tablet [tablets::tablets] works [reliability::works] great! Very fast! Nice size [size::size] and weight!

I recently bought a Motorola Xoom at Costco. At first I was thrilled with the Xoom because of the 'Gee Wiz' factor. Now that I've had it for a while, I've decided that I will be returning it and I will have a big smile on my face as they hand my money back to me. Don't get me wrong, the Xoom looks great when you see someone else holding it, but I found it to be far too impractical for everyday use and too expensive [price::too expensive] for the computing power that you get. What I really didn't like about the Xoom was that it was heavy and there seemed to be no practicle and comfortable [usability::comfortable] way to hold it while lying down or sitting. The natural thing to do is to try holding it like a book with your thumb on the screen, but this doesn't work [reliability::doesn't work] because your thumb is on the screen. It seems that the only way to hold it without interferring with the screen is to pinch the narrow bezel between your finger and thumb tip. Just try to hold something as heavy as the Xoom with the your thumb and forefinger on one hand for minutes on end (your other hand will be busy touching the screen, so don't cheat and use two hands to hold it). Try this to see how long you can stand it before the object your holding twists and turns or your finger muscles go into a major cramp. I imagined that using the Xoom would be like using a smartphone with all of its goodness but with a big beautiful screen [display::screen] . This would have worked [reliability::works] out great if humans had hands that were twelve inches wide so that you could hold the Xoom like a smartphone. Maybe a smaller and lighter tablet would have worked out better. I've decided that it is much more practicle to just use my smartphone when I'm sitting on the sofa or sitting in bed and use a laptop when I need a bigger screen. I hate to compare the Xoom with other devices, since this is a review of the Xoom. However, I will say that even though the Xoom intitially seemed pretty cool, it left me with a lot of buyers regret. In contrast, I bought a Windows phone 7 and I could not have been happier and have not once regretted my decision. Maybe a smaller tablet would have worked out better but, for me, my Windows Phone seems just about perfect while sitting at the sofa or in bed and I think I'll just stick with that. Likes: 1. Wow factor to impress your friends. 2. Battery life [battery life::battery life] was very good. 3. Screen [display::screen] was very nice. Dislikes: 1. There is no comfortable [usability::comfortable] way to hold the Xoom while using it for more than a couple of minutes. 2. It feels very heavy when holding it with one hand for more than a couple of minutes. 3. Many of the apps in the market place crash [reliability::crash] . 4. Many of the apps in the market place are designed for a small smartphone screen and only fill a small portion of the screen. 5. The Xoom crashes [reliability::crash] my DLink wifi router and killed my internet (I was in tech support misery for a long, long time).

Pros: Fast. Great graphics [display::graphics] . Plays adobe flash which means a full web experience. 4G coming. Android honeycomb is more advanced and flexible than ipad2. Micro USB available. Much better camera than ipad2. Cons: Power button [other_attributes::power button] in the back. Slightly buggy device. Speakers in the back though loud enough. Kinda heavy and thick compared to ipad2. Not enough apps compared to apple but more coming. There are enough apps already anyways. Wish there were more multimedia ap Summary: Debated btw ipad2 vs xoom. Ipad2 is a sexy device and well made but went with xoom because I felt it was a better product with better specs and functionality. Ipad2 is just not enough improvement over I pad in my opinion and I felt I was getting a good deal [price::great deal] with $599 with $20 monthly 1G service. I had it for 3 weeks now and loving it more everyday. Awesome device [device::device] and works pretty much like a net book without the boot time. Use it mainly for surfing internet and can't imagine surfing without the flash! Honeycomb definitely takes time to get used to but its not that hard. I have iPhone currently and converted pretty easily. I just can't stand the media bias and how ipad2 is getting all the press but trust me this is a great product [general::product] and the best tablet [tablets::tablets] out there.

Pros: Nice screen resolution [display::screen resolution] , open and flexable, Flash so you can use all your websites, can share many of your apps if you have an android phone, can expect much improvement in the future, better access to file system, can better operate separate from a PC. Ev Cons: User experience [other_attributes::user experience] is not as good as iPad, screen [display::screen] is not as clear or viewable from angles as iPad, does not charge through usb, lack of apps, less responsive sometimes, touch screen seems less accurate, heaver then iPad 2, protector doesn't stay in place wel Summary: I bought an iPad 2 the day it came out and realy liked it alot. From build quality to user experience it was executed very well, except for the Apple factor. Very limited, no flash, nonaccessable file system, can't upgrade memory, strict control of apps and higher cost of apps, the usual. I sold it for a profit and waited on the Xoom WiFi and am using it now. My feelings are really mixed still because the iPad 2 was so smooth and clean while this is not quite there. I like the higher resolution but miss the better screen quality.

I was stuck between getting the IPad2 or the Xoom, and after doing lots of reading and hands-on evaluation, I decided that the Xoom is a better choice for me. It is super-snappy, expandable to 64 GB (with an upcoming software update), as well as it will soon be 4G compatible. The display is awesome [display::the * is good] , and though a tiny bit of a learning curve, navigation is a snap.

It was a toss up between the zoom or ipad2 and as u can tell the zoom won. I am not a Techno geek but I love everything I am learning about on the zoom that it can do. For the novice like me and want everything u can get out of the zoom for your money, yes you can get a program to transfer your iTunes movies and personally owned dvds to play [playing::plays] great on the zoom (danisoft is just one of the many programs u can buy to assist in that). I was concerned my partner would find the zoom [other_attributes::zoom] difficult to move around in (as I watched her fly around in the I pad) but she picked it right up and trust me she hates computers. Now I find her grabbing the zoom all the time from me. The zoom appears unlimited and I know I have barely and probably will never but scratch the potential of this thing. I mainly got it for work and away from the house so I could do my personal accounts on line and not use a work computer that is monitored. I really wanted something the size of the galaxy tablet but I have not had a problem [reliability::have a problem] with carying it around me at all. The screen does have serious finger prints and sometimes you hav e to tilt due to glare but those are minor issues. You can hook it up the computer and move around easily to add or delete items.

I had to wait for this product for three weeks to get to me! I'm in the military and stationed overseas in Guam so it took forever! When it finally arrived I couldn't wait to check it out. I had read all the reviews about the Motorola Xoom on Amazon as well as on other websites and forums. I thought it was hilarious how crazy people got with the comparisons with the Xoom and the Ipads! The costant back and forth war between the android fanbase and the apple fanbase was incredible [other_attributes::the * is good] and brought more laughs then actual knowledge on the products. I have an iphone 3gs and use it for everything! The only thing I didn't really like about the phone was the fact that I can't customize anything really on the phone the way I want it. I was completley blown away by how easy and fun it is to customize my Xoom the way I want! This was my first android anything and I like it alot! There are not as many android apps as Im used to with the apple but Im sure they will make many more. The tablet itself is fun to use and anything you really want to know as far as specifics is definitely highlighted in detail by everyone who wrote a review. As well as all over the internet.(I pretty much read them all!) I highly recommend this product [general::highly recommend the product] if you want a more personal device that can be made to fit you and your life! No diss to apple because I definitely like there products too! Have fun!

I just got my Xoom in last night and have been super happy with [general::very happy with] it. My wife and I have been sharing an iPad for home quick computing use so I have frame of reference for comparison with the iPad. I was not familar with the Android OS at all nor Honeycomb but was able to figure everything out without referencing the manual much at all. I had my work email and all personal email syncing to it in no time and enjoy the display of email. I installed the Citrix Receiver on my Xoom and was connecting to my Windows 7 Virtual Desktop from work like it was running locally. It seems that my virtual desktop runs better on the Xoom than it did in the iPad and the gestures, touches were more accurate making the user experience much better. Other things I love about the tablet....freedom from iTunes, more ability to customize, the format of the screen being designed to view in landscape mode, multi-tabbed web browsing and the 5 multi-screen pages which feels like the 4 Linux workspaces if anyone is familiar. As far as the OS goes, the iPad feels like a phone OS running on a larger unit and that may be desirable for more basic users. The Xoom Honeycomb OS feels more like a laptop OS and honestly with the Citrix remote capabillities working so well, this could replace my laptop at work. What's great about it:  Remote access [other_attributes::access] works [reliability::works] great, awesome for work [reliability::works] and personal use, freedom from iTunes What's not so great:  Not as many goofy apps as Apple App Store if you are into that I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm a big fan of ASUS products -- they have a great cost [price::cost] /performance ratio [other_attributes::performance ratio] , have excellent reliability, build quality and [reliability::have good * and] design. However, when I made the decision to purchase a Motorola Xoom, I had no idea that ASUS was going to be releasing a similar tablet or I would have waited for that. So now I have both -- what can I say... I'm addicted to gizmos and gadgets (having a LONG history of buying multiple ebook readers before bonding with my Kindle DX). I've only had the Transformer for a little over 24 hours now so here are my initial reactions for the Transformer vs Motorola Xoom: Power supply ------------ ASUS: First thing I noticed is HOW SHORT the charging cord/usb cord is for the Transformer. I like to work with the tablet plugged in as much as possible to save the battery life and this cord is so short, you have to literally have a power strip RIGHT NEXT to your chair in order to use it while charging... BIG disadvantage. Plus, the power cord is also the USB cord and it does not charge while plugged into your computer. MOTOROLA: the power cord is an actual power cord and is a reasonable length. Unfortunately, the power cord connects on the bottom so you wind up having it stick out in your lap or have to use the docking station in order to use it at the same time you are using the tablet. But at least the docking station does double duty as a stand so that isn't a huge issue [reliability::huge issue] . AND the docking station is relatively affordable [price::affordable] and obtainable. ADVANTAGE: Motorola Stands/cases ------------ ASUS: Currently there are no real 'stands' for the ASUS except for the keyboard docking station which is currently running at 250 bucks. After just spending 500 bucks for the Transformer combined with the fact that availability of the ASUS keyboard/dock is nearly as plentiful as the mythical unicorn, this is a big disadvantage. In addition, there aren't really any custom ASUS transformer stands and the only cases are sleeves which do nothing to help you hold the tablet up during use... meaning you have to hold with one hand and peck with the other which is slow and limits the use of the tablet in my opinion. I'm sure this will correct itself since the ASUS is still so new but in the short-run, it is a disadvantage. HOWEVER--- I have discovered a reasonable workaround. It turns out that the dimensions of the transformer are very close to the dimensions of the Kindle DX so there are a couple of cases for the Kindle DX that will work as a protective and relatively inexpensive [price::inexpensive] case for the Transformer AND allow you to stand it up. If you need a case/stand NOW and don't want to spend 250 bucks on the docking station/keyboard, I would recommend either Acase Vintage Acme Brown Genuine Leather Case [other_attributes::leather case] with LED light for Amazon Kindle DX OR the M-Edge Platform Leather Kindle DX Jacket (Fits 9.7' Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX), Pebbled Fuchsia since both will function as a stand have just enough 'lee-way/ease' to accommodate the ASUS Transformer. The ACASE is probably a better choice from an ergonomics standpoint since it allows you to set the transformer up at multiple angles. Also, I think it provides better overall protection and is less expensive. MOTOROLA: The Xoom has a relatively inexpensive [price::inexpensive] docking station/stand which supports hands-free use of the tablet and using an bluetooth keyboard. BUT if you want to use the Xoom in the docking station, you have to take it out of its cover which is kind of a pain and defeats the purpose of the protection a case affords (plus, the docking station is prone to tipping over which further endangers your very expensive [price::expensive] tablet... ADVANTAGE: ASUS -- SINCE you can use the ACASE as a stand and protective cover for Transformer, I'm going to say that this is an advantage over the XOOM... especially since you can pair the ASUS with the Motorola Android keyboard and have a temporary much more cost effective solution than the docking station. SCREEN: ------- ASUS -- the screen seems clearer with more vibrant and deep colors. In addition, the surface is not as slick as the Xoom and actually has a little bit of 'give' to it so as you are tapping away, you have more feedback. XOOM -- The screen is shinier which means it shows fingerprints and gathers oils from your finger more quickly and requires more frequent cleaning. ADVANTAGE: Asus -- and this is probably totally subjective since your preferences may be different in how you view the screens etc. EASE OF USE: ------------ ASUS -- both tablets are based on Android Honeycomb but Asus has made a couple of customizations which make it easier to use [usability::easy to use] ... the onscreen keyboard actually has a numbers row so you don't have to switch back and forth and I really like that! ASUS also has its own cloud storage (though I haven't tried it out, yet). XOOM -- it was the first Honeycomb tablet out of the gate so the OS is more basic without the little customizations. ADVANTAGE: ASUS CONNECTIVITY: ------------- ASUS -- currently, the ASUS does not have cellular connectivity. However, the wireless reception seems to be stronger. XOOM -- I like the fact that I can use my XOOM literally anywhere where there is cell coverage... in fact, the main reason I bought it was after the tornados that went through NC awhile back and left us without power (and thus, internet, TV, and any means of finding out what was going on in the outside world), I wanted the XOOM because it could keep me in touch with the world even when the power was out. In fact, it can also be used as a wireless hotspot or my windows computers -- another selling point. Of course, you are paying for that cell-phone coverage but it is worth it to me.... ADVANTAGE: XOOM (at least for me) STORAGE: -------- ASUS -- already supports SD cards which is a big advantage to me. XOOM -- does not currently have support for SD cards and when that becomes available, I will have to send the physical device to motorola while they perform the firmware upgrade to make it 4G compatible and open up the SD card slot for use. ADVANTAGE: ASUS These are my initial impressions -- I'll update as I have a chance to use the ASUS more in the coming days... now that I have the stand issue [reliability::has * issues] worked out, I'll be able to play with it a lot easier than I had been. Upshot -- As with everything in life, there are tradeoffs. Currently, if I don't need the cellular capabilities, I prefer the ASUS. Will I keep both? Depends on whether I need some cash or not in the near future. While everyone talks about how much cheaper the ASUS is over the XOOM, it really isn't considering to be truly functional as ASUS intended, you really need the keyboard. If you are willing to put up with some work-arounds like using the ACASE and the Motorola bluetooth android keyboard, then the ASUS is about the same as the XOOM (assuming you are talking about the 32 GB model for the ASUS) I've probably not made your buying decision any easier but at hopefully given you some things to think about in terms of your choice of tablet and what may or may not be important to you.

I have tested each of the most popular Honeycomb Tablets ( Transformer, Iconia A500, and the Xoom) for about a week, and for me, the Xoom takes its place on the winners stand on my nightstand. Here is why. After testing the others, I found the Xoom to have the most solid, quality construction. The anodized aluminum casing feels top quality. Everything fits together tightly, there is no creaking, wobbling or flexing. The glass is smooth and allows for seamless screen gestures. The Iconia came in a close second for design quality and felt very solid too. It has a similar brushed aluminum back. But the top and bottom are a plastic bezel that wraps to the screen. The Transformer's plastic back did have some flex to it and just felt kind of 'cheap' compared to the others. The 'glass' of the TF felt thin and 'sticky'. Your fingers didnt glide over it very well and pressing the screen lightly, you could feel it flex as well. Winner: Xoom The display is razor [other_attributes::razors] sharp [display::sharp] and crisp. Text [other_attributes::text] is sharp [display::sharp] and easy to read [read::read] , pictures, videos [video quality::video] , and web pages [other_attributes::pages] look top notch. The Iconia sceen looked very nice too. Its screen was even more 'vibrant' than the xoom. However the dot pitch (space between pixels) was visible at close look and text [other_attributes::text] was not as crisp. The Iconia only displays 256k colors (compared to the 16 million of the others) and I was able to notice the difference on colorful, high res photos. The TF was a good blend [other_attributes::blending] of both, vibrant and crisp. But the two I tested [other_attributes::testing] had HORRIBLE back light [other_attributes::back light] bleeding on dark images. Something the Iconia and Xoom didn't have. Winner: Xoom Each offers their own feature set. The Iconia has a full sized USB port and it worked well for keyboards, mice and a flash drive (FAT 32). The Xoom has an adapter cable that adapts the microUSB to a full sized USB and allows digital cameras, keyboards, mice etc. to be plugged in. The TF only allows USB connections if you have the keyboard dock ($150), its microUSB slot only seemed to work for PC hookup. They all have microHDMI outputs, mircoSD, blue tooth, wifi, and are dockable. The Transformer has a dock that is an actual keyboard that also adds 2 full sized USB, card readers and additional battery power. A cool feature [feature set::features] if you ever want to turn your tablet into an 'Android netbook'. Its is an additional $150 as I mentioned. Since I am going to use my tablet as a tablet, the keyboard dock is not practical for me. So just as tablets, the Iconia and Xoom offer more. Another small feature of the Iconia is Dolby sound, which actually was a nice touch and sounded [audio quality::sounds] great coming out of those little speakers. The speakers on the Xoom sound [audio quality::sounds] decent for a tablet [tablets::tablets] , nothing amazing though and only moderate volume. The TF's speakers souded dreadful. They sounded super cheap. The left speaker was louder than the right and they sounded tinny and weak. Winner: Iconia (by a little) Function: All these units pretty much offer a stock Google UI. I must say, am used to Android (i have had 2 Android phones) and Honeycomb is a great OS [operating system::os] . Very slick and gets better as the kinks get ironed out. That said, the actual experience of this did actually differ a bit. The Xoom and Iconia were very smooth. Gestures registered instantly and the tablet responded fluently. The TF had the same smoothness, but the action actually seemed to lag behind the actual guesture by a split second. All of them performed well, none of them gave me any issues with unexpected [other_attributes::unexpected] crashes [reliability::crash] , hangs or force closes. However, overall speed, fluidity and just general user experience seemed to be a bit higher on the Iconia and Xoom. Something that is hard to explain unless you spend some time with each of them. I will note however that the Transformer had issues with powering [other_attributes::power] itself on/off randomly, which is a known issue with some of the TF tablets. Also the Iconia had a tendency for the screen to momentarily come on on its own as well. That is, when 'sleeping' it would come on and show the lock screen un provoked. It would shut off again after 30 seconds or so, but was a little disturbing at 3am. The Xoom has none of these issues [reliability::has * issues] . Winner: Xoom Accessories: Part of owning a gadget like this is being able to accessorize it to tailor to your specific usage. The Asus unit itself is currently hard to come buy, in most cases it must be special ordered from your big box stores. It is still unlikely (6/9/11) to walk into a store an buy one and walk out with it. The same can be said for the keyboard dock. I am unaware of any other device specific accessories for it at this time except 'skin cases' and carry cases. The Iconia has a folio type case that is available now. It has provisions for a docking station (w/remote) and blue tooth keyboard. But as of this writing those are not available yet. There are also a few 3rd party skins and cases for it as well. The Xoom has been available longer and has quite a few different accessories that are quite good. The charging dock and blue tooth keyboard although a bit on the expensive side, are very good. On the other hand the official folio case, official skin, and the HD dock leave a bit to be desired. There are also quite a few 3rd party goodies available at various price points too. Winner: Xoom Parting thoughts: Overall, all these tablets were good [tablets::the * is good] additions to the tablet world, each offering their own advantages and disadvantages over each other. For the price of the Asus, you do loose a bit of that quality and Asus quality control on them seems to have been a bit lacking. There seems to be all matter of various issues both common and random being reported with them. The Iconia seems to be a well made, well thought out tablet. If the screen had better pixel density and better colors, i think it would have been the winner. The Xoom just seemed to offer the highest quality construction [other_attributes::construction] , and the perfect amount of features, accessories, functionality and overall user experience. The one hangup I have is the microSD. That feature [feature set::features] works [reliability::works] just fine with the Asus and the Iconia. The hacker/Devs at XDA even figured out how to get it working on the Xoom, why the heck cant Motorola?? I sure hope they get that figured out...they've had 3+ months already! With more and more good Android tablets arriving it wouldn't hurt if Moto dropped the price on the Xoom $50 or so either. (In the next 20 days would be nice so I can take advantage of Best Buy's price match). So, the Xoom is the winner, for now. What's great about it:  Great quality and user experience. What's not so great:  Functioning microSD card PLEASE!!! I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like the Motorola Xoom. I am not sure what the people who rated this device below a 4 star is thinking...maybe they have never used a tablet or maybe they didn't know why they bought a tablet. I use mine daily (even at work to take notes, search the web for info, and having a calendar on the fly). I use it all around my house. People who talk of how heavy it is, the weight is no where even close to the weight of a laptop! It will be incredible when the Flash [flash::flash] , Micro SD, and 4G are all on board within the next 90 days...all things that the iPad or iPad2 do not have and will never have. I am very pleased. I own a Droid X and this made it easy to adjust to this tablet. I don't have any application crash [reliability::crash] problems. It was worth the money, and I recommend it to anyone who likes the Android OS or that like the ability to customize their devices.

I have had my Xoom WiFi since 3/27 and it just keeps getting better and better. I have had the opportunity to use both the Xoom and iPad2 side-by-side and there no question that the Xoom is a much better device. Its certainly not to say that the iPad isn't good, I just like the options you have on the Xoom better (i.e. expand memory, micro USB, micro HDMI). It takes a short amount of time to get used to Honeycomb, but it is smooth and user friendly [usability::user friendly] . The battery life [battery life::battery life] is simply amazing. With heavy use, I am still able to go 2 days w/o charging. And when I do need to charge, it charges extremely fast. Sure there are a limited amout of 'Tablet' apps for the Xoom, but I'm finding that many of the 'non-Tablet' apps work perfectly [reliability::works perfectly] fine; and I am confident that many more apps will be ported for tablet use very soon. Another reason I love the Xoom is that I can transfer data without having to use iTunes. I'm a photographer (by hobby) and, with the use of a $2.50 adapter, I can transfer my photos to the Xoom to view at any time. Once the micro SD slot is updated, this will be even easier. It's so much easier than carrying around a laptop. Really, both Xoom and iPad2 are great products, but for what I want to do, the Xoom is superior; bar none. What's great about it:  Screen, ease of use, Flash, input options, battery life. What's not so great:  Need more accessories I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Dual core processor [other_attributes::dual core processor] and a heap of RAM. It is the device for people who can't bring themselves to buy Apple. Cons: The Android ecosystem is a mess [other_attributes::messes] . Where are the apps? The display is not on par with the iPad. The size makes it feel uncomfortable to hold for an extended period of time. No Flash or 4G right out of the gate. Not an engaging experience. Summary: The Xoom is no worse than any other Android device to date, however, it is not much better than any Android device to date either. While the Honeycomb OS is the most polished version of Android that Google has rolled out, it still lacks the genuinely captivating experience which iPad delivered and continues to build upon. The Xoom feels as if it has been spread too thin in an attempt to cover every crack and meet every point of criteria, like it has to answer very simple questions with overly complicated answers. Unlike the iPad, I don't find myself going back to the Xoom for more..two days with the Xoom and I already feel buyers remorse. Xoom just doesn't feel substantial, lacks an intuitive [usability::intuitive] user interface [usability::user interface] , and has no appealing apps which the iPad doesn't have...Xoom is no better at the tablet game than Google TV is at being a video content system. The Xoom will only sell the people with a hate for Apple, but the iPad will sell to everyone else. Who wants to buy the device for the sake of not buying the [general::dont buy this] better product?

Love my Xoom! Never had an Ipad so I can't compare... but don't want to! I can't stand iTunes and the control imposed on you. The Xoom is open for me to customize and use the way that I like. The app market is constantly expanding with quality apps and I believe will soon surpass the Apple market. I noticed a slight lag when playing Pinball HD, but otherwise everything else flies! Chose the Motorola Xoom over the Acer Iconia due to quality of build and support. Very impressed! Typed this review using my Xoom! What's great about it:  Powerful portability! Quality construction. Bright future. What's not so great:  Smaller, but quickly expanding app market. I would recommend this to a friend!

The Xoom is a great idea. Some where someone just decided to roll it out before it was a finished product. I have one complaint with the hardware. I like where the buttons are. I appreciate the screen and the sensitivity. It looks amazing and sleek. A little heavy for constant use, but nothing too bad. 4G should have been in the release version. I should not have to send it back [reliability::sent it back] to get a new part that. Especially not for the price. The software is not finished. Some of the pre-installed applications crash [reliability::crash] , some just don't work. It's not done. That's the best explanation I have. For 800 dollars, this thing should work with every piece of software installed on it. I shouldn't have to wait till the software has been written to support the SD card. I shouldn't have to wait for the all important next version of flash. I definately should not have to wait for the mini-hdmi cable to work. So my suggestion for this tablet is just wait.

i gotta say using this tablet is more useful than an ipad. Honeycomb is different from iOS in many ways. it isnt a dumb-up version of the iphone. the interface has been redesign from the bottom up. i found it as a very promising start for Google and i can't wait to see future optimization and upgrades. on the hardware wise, motorola defiantly put the best technology [other_attributes::technology] in this device right out of the box. When you compare it iPad2 specs, Xoom's specs blows it out of the water. it makes me feel proud of owning this device. i wouldnt worry about the app selection. many of the developers i have contact told me that they're working on developing a tablet dedicated version or optimizing their current version. in addition i cant wait to see more nvidia tegra 2 optimized games. defiantly check it out in the stores. this device isnt tie to my computer. it's a device of its own.

This thing is great [general::the * is good] , I use it all the time... from searching the internet on the go, playing games, managing my life in the calendar, or editing PowerPoints for work, the Xoom has effectively replaced my laptop as the true 'love of my life'. It is just as stylish as the iPad, but feels like so much more of a productivity tool. The interface is fully customizable, and while not generally a fan of 'Widgets' I do like having email, calendar, and web buttons all upfront. Has a tough cover available for protection, and syncs easily with my computer. Extra long battery life keeps me untethered for longer. This thing ROCKS!

I have been following the Motorola Xoom ever since it was codenamed 'stingray,' so when a date was announced for when I would be able to pick up this beauty of a tablet, I couldn't wait. I won't talk about the Verizon service (which as it stands right now does not compare to my T-Mobile speeds) all I will talk about is the hardware. I've owned two iPads, and the Xoom is head and shoulders above it. First thing's first: it has a Tegra2 DualCore processor which means this thing is blazing fast. The 10.1 HD screen means beautiful videos [video quality::video] and pictures. The micro-HDMI out plug means you can hook your Xoom up to a TV. Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' is amazing (though don't kid yourself, even hardcore Android users will have an adapting period in terms of navigating the device and carrying out tasks) I bought this for 799.99 off-contract, but you can purchase it for 599.99 at Verizon Wireless, with a 2-year contract. Also, (rumored in May) you will be able to send in your Xoom to receive a free hardware upgrade to 4g. You won't pay anything at all, and Verizon has stated you won't have to change your plan in order to access the 4g speeds (assuming your city is LTE-enabled). Flash 10.2 will be available in a few short weeks as will support for microSD cards, so don't let that keep you from purchasing the Xoom. Also, you cannot charge this via USB like you would with your phone. This isn't because Motorola wants to sell you another charger, but rather the max amount of voltage that a USB puts out and how much a micro-USB port can handle. A Xoom will go from 0 to 100 percent battery life in about 3 hours, and that's incredible when you think about the batteries inside (Two 3250 mAH batteries, though it reads as one) The Xoom's screen is made from Gorilla Glass which means you won't be neeeding a screen protector anytime soon (unless you don't like a glassy feel). I've always been paranoid about my phones and other electronics with screens and thus have always put a screen protector on them. Having said that, I HAVE NOT put one on the Xoom, because Gorilla Glass [other_attributes::glasses] is THAT good. Now for the negatives: The volume rocker [rocker::rocker] is too flush with the Xoom, and thus it can be incredibly hard to push the buttons sometimes. You'll have your finger on the volume up or down button and swear you're pressing it, but you're not pressing it in the right spot. The speakers are good [audio quality::the * is good] , not great. All in all, I give the Xoom 5 stars. Sure I could knock off a star for the volume rocker or the lack of flash [flash::flash] and microSD card support on launch, but the fact is that the latter two will be fixed with a software update, and the volume rocker you learn to live with. A lot of people will complain about price and how the iPad is only 500. What you have to remember is that when you take a comparable iPad model the Xoom is only 70.00 more expensive [price::expensive] , and with that 70.00 you get more RAM, a faster processor, bigger screen, microSD support (via software update) thus enabling your storage up to 64GB, Flash (again via software update), and an operating system designed for a tablet. If you don't feel like spending the money, a wi-fi only tablet will be out at some point for 599.99. What's nice about the wi-fi model is that the only thing different from the Verizon model, is the 3g/4g, as opposed to the iPad which takes out the GPS as well if you only buy the wi-fi version.

Since none of the overloaded devices cater to hearing aid users, who depend on hearing aids and compatibility. I wanted something more practical that I could use while travelling. Enters the ZOOM, of course I had my eye on Android for some time, but could not make up my mind. Now that I finally got an XOOM, I can say, I am happy. I have been busy all day getting apps and set it up, it works, Wi-Fi and mobile wireless works as a promised.

First Android 3.0 OS enabled Tablet device. The widgets are interesting and functions with only some problems. Typical of any first generation device, but still useable as an iPad competitor.Battery life is about 10 or so hours, so plan accordingly.4G upgrade is still in the works and no Micro SD Support at the moment, but still a very usable device [device::device] .

Pros: works [reliability::works] as described from internet sources Cons: processor speed [other_attributes::processor speed] does not compare to the ipad 2 neither does the professional quality as the ipad2 apps look and feel. I hope this all changes. As I do like what the sources on the internet say it can do. Summary: Unfortunately I dislike the product MAINLY from the Verizon stores lack of everything. As I still have to turn it in for them to send me out a new one I feel like I am on my own learning about this device and on my own with getting ANY help on it. This store 75th ave Bell road Glendale AZ are able to ring you up and make you feel like you are wasting their time. When I took my tablet in after it crashing the store manager on duty 6PM 3-24-2011 worse customer service on earth. If you are in the market for anything Verizon save yourself the frustration and go to a different store. This group's product knowledge is zero. There are probably 2 reps there that know enough about the products to be able to have a conversation about them. If you want a unbelievable experience [general::experience] test me. Go there and ask about the ipads and the XOOM and sit back and be totally be UN-AMAZED. I had to buy mine to learn about it. Then in the learning process I took it in there to get some help on the 13th day. The rep that day told me, 'well I am not in the whole tablet thingy' When I was trying to decide to buy it their main sales pitch was buy it and test it out for 15 days and then you can return it if it doesn't do what you need it to. Then when it crashed [reliability::crash] day 20 the 75th ave Bell store not one sign of empathy or signs of warm blooded species. Verison and Motorola send a shopper in there and get this problem fixed. ALL 6 times of me being in there while making my decision to buy, then needing support, then last day of decision time between ipad 2 and xoom then Xoom crashing. Every conversation between reps and customers was COMPLETELY the same LACK of product knowledge and professional service as of my experience with my agent the first day when I bought it. I still bought it because all the research I did not it before going in. I self educated myself on the product and was sold before going in. It would have been nice to have someone help me that had at least 1/16th of the product knowledge I had from my 1 hour of internet research. Amber the one that sold me my Droid X 2 weeks before buying the XOOM was a great help. She helped me out as much as she could over the phone regarding the XOOM before buying it. Then when I went in to buy it she was not there.

So I got the Xoom the first week of release and I have enjoyed using it ever since. You'll notice that most of the complaints are actually just user error. As an example, one of the previous reviewers complained that Flash 10.2 wouldn't install. He's probably attempting to install an unofficial version. Now that the official version is released you will have no problems [reliability::had no problems] getting it to work. Other complaints [customer support::other complaints] include not having very many Tablet applications. If they are talking about apps that are only written to be used with Tablets and nothing else, they are correct. However a programmer would have to be borderline down-syndrome in order to write a program for just tablets. The majority of app designers make their product cross platform compatible, meaning that they write the app to work with Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.3.3 and 3.0. The number of apps that fall into this category numbers in the 10's of thousands if not more, which is exactly the case for the iPad as well. Some people complain that the OS is not ready for prime-time but I whole-heartedly disagree. The Xoom is a magnificent piece of hardware that has ton of real world uses as well as a huge amount of potential. As an example I currently use my Xoom to surf the net, write emails, listen to music, make international phone calls (Skype), play games, and even watch movies (Amazon Digital via Flash). But in the near future you can expect to see Netflix, Hulu, and other media providers like Comcast, creating apps that will allow users to access entire media catalogs. And unlike the iPad, you can actually upgrade the storage capacity of the Xoom with the next OS iteration. Currently the Xoom has a micro SD slot that is not recognized by the OS, but it soon will be and a user could decide to purchase a 32GB card and essentially double the storage capacity of their Xoom. On the issue of Fragmentation... this is one of those buzz words that detractors use to scare off potential adopters. Let me make this clear, currently 90% of all android users are on android 2.x. The whole fragmentation issue is a blown out of proportion piece of propaganda that actually has no impact on the user. How many android users have you actually heard complain about fragmentation? I'm betting none, the vast majority of people who even bring it up are iOS users (iPhone). They can't even articulate what fragmentation does and they typically have no comeback when it's mentioned that iOS users are actually more fragmented then android users with only 87% of iOS users on the same major version of their OS. Got off on a tangent there but let me just put your worries to bed [other_attributes::bed] : Xoom is good for: -Watching and listening to all sorts of media like movies, TV, and music. -Surfing the internet -Writing emails and participating in social media like Facebook and twitter -Making local and international phone calls via Skype -Playing games of all varieties -Reading books (Not in direct sunlight) vs iPad Xoom has a rectangular form factor while the iTab has a more square form factor Xoom can be upgraded to have greater capacity [other_attributes::capacity] Xoom is less than an ounce heavier than the iPad Xoom feels sturdy with an aluminum shell What's great about it:  See my review What's not so great:  Does not have certain ipad applications like Garage Band, has extra adapter for recharging the battery I would recommend this to a friend!

Cost is worth it for what I'm getting. Summary: I have a more extensive review of Acer and Xoom under the Invidia product, but this is painful since I'm on the slow-responding Acer now. Basically I had the Xoom for a couple of weeks and fell in love. Returned it because $800 was too much to choke down, wi-fi version wasn't yet available at Costco but wanted to test it. Bought Acer a couple weeks later at Best Buy. Pleasantly surprised to see noticeable difference in quantity and quality of apps on Honeycomb in two weeks. Off-center, extra weight of Acer, features and slower response [other_attributes::response] of Acer have been a significant difference to detract from the experience, that i'll be returning it to Best Buy this weekend and heading to Costco for a Xoom. Wi-fi this time. Can't wait!

OVERALL SCORE=1.90
Pros: Fast, easy OS [operating system::os] to learn [other_attributes::learn] if you aren't familiar with android; lots of options for customizing and file management. Love the rectangular shape. Dual cameras/video function with large comfortable [usability::comfortable] size screen. Cons: SD card [card::card] slot [other_attributes::slots] not functioning. If it had been sold with the SD card working, I would have given it 5 stars Summary: I have the original Ipad and worked on it for over a year. I gave it to my husband since he doesn't know how to surf the net or do anything other than read books on it and I debated getting the new Ipad2. What stopped me was the WiFi connection [connection::connection] problems I had with the Ipad. No amount of tweaks and troubleshooting with support would fix the problem and Apple refused to acknowledge it was their software problem [reliability::software problems] leaving thousands of us stranded with WiFi problems. So rather than risk that happening again I researched other tablets coming out. The Xoom won because it had Flash, a large screen, SD card slot and Honeycomb OS. I have had Xoom for a couple of weeks now and it's awesome. It never drops my WiFi connection. I can load my books and other files onto it quite easily. It is a sharp [display::sharp] clear screen and the apps being developed are multiplying daily, although I do think unless you are a gamer, apps are overrated. How many do you really really need????? I would highly recommend Xoom over the Ipad any day. Ipads are great if you are a newbie and need a real easy interface. Xoom is for the rest of you. At $599 for the 32gig WiFi model it's the same price as the alternative Ipad 2 32 gig. When Zagg comes out with the keyboard case for Xoom it'll be perfect!

OVERALL SCORE=.16
Pros: See summary Cons: See Summary Summary: True unbiased review of the iPad 2 Vs. Xoom. Ok, Cnet editors you have had time with both the iPad 2 and Xoom as have I. Here is the true bottom line on which your readers should buy. I am not going to touch on everything just what stands out to the buying public. While Cent continues to complain that the cost of the Xoom is too much so they lower the rating to benefit other Android tablets which I think is wrong because the Xoom Wi-Fi cost the same as the iPad 2 Wi-Fi yet they don't seem to be bothered by that even though the Xoom offers more features than the iPad 2. As, to the other Android I have yet to pick one up but from what I know they are made with more plastic parts which reduces cost and durability. First off let's get some of the needless arguments out of the way. Cameras: these are tablets not cameras so who really cares if the camera is good [other_attributes::the * is good] or not I really don't see someone going on vacation and pulling out their tablet to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower these two tablets are not made for that. 3G vs. 4G: The idea of paying more for a wireless connection these days is just a waste of money. It cost a $100 plus on both machines then there is monthly fee on top of that. Let's be real here the majority of consumers buying tablets have a smartphone that can tether and be a personal Wi-Fi hotspot. Most of the time this service is free with a high of $15.99 added to your mobile bill still cheaper than what ATT and Verizon are charging. Wi-Fi only is the way to go and with that iPad 2 Wi-Fi and Xoom Wi-Fi are dead [reliability::were dead] even at $599.99 for the 32GB models. Size and weight: Yes, the iPad 2 is thinner and lighter the Xoom but not by much, another let's get real moment, you just threw down $600+ on a portable [usability::portable] device it is highly unlikely that you are going to hold with one hand at arm's length to use it. Like, me you will probably cradle it like a baby in your arm, place it on your lap, or hold it with two hands in this case the weight does not matter. Also, most will wind up having a case that will stand the tablet up on a desk. IPad 2 .34in and 1.33lb Xoom .5in and 1.61lb A difference between .16in and .28lb not matter how you want to spin it there is not much difference to make this one of the be all end all arguments on why the iPad is better than the Xoom so, stop it. Prediction for the iPad 3: it will be announced in March of 2012 it will be as thick as a piece of cardboard and weigh as much, it will come with a smart cover that will protect it blowing away on windy days (sold separately of course). Now, let's get down and dirty on which is a better bang for your buck. I own both the 32GB models of the iPad and the Xoom. Screen: The iPad 2 did not even offer Apples retina display guess you will have to wait until the 3rd to throw more money Apples way. The iPad 2 native resolution is 1024x768 that is a max of 720p HD and the Xoom is 1280x800 also 720p HD. There is not much difference between the two to call a clear winner. The iPad has an odd screen size, 9.7in that works great in portrait but landscape is not true widescreen and when watching widescreen movies you get those annoying black bars. While the Xoom is true 16x9 widescreen and is made to be used that way (just look at where the front facing camera is located iPad top/portrait, Xoom top/landscape) however, when in portrait with the Xoom it very awkward to hold and I really don't like that. Screen Size bigger is better: Winner the Xoom 10.1in Resolution: Tie Rotation: The black bars aside the iPad is more functional in portrait and offers decent landscape [other_attributes::landscaping] function, winner iPad 2 Tiebreaker: Winner iPad 2, there coating causes less fingerprint smudging. Screen Winner: iPad 2 Browsing: Tablets are made for one thing and really one thing only full portable [usability::portable] web browsing even Apple was advertising that with the original iPad. However, Apple does not support Flash a key element in full web browsing. Even though, companies like Hulu are cutting support to tablets unless you pay Flash is still a big player. Apple states that there is no need for Flash because of their App store you can find whatever you need in an app. Well, searching the App Store just to find an app that will play the video I want to watch seems very unproductive [performance::unproductive] when if iPad had flash I could just push play. Hey, Brain Tong, how can an iPad user view your wonderful and witty Apple Byte segments from there iPad when the video is Flash supported. Well let's see they will most likely have to get the Cnet app or search through the YouTube app to find it and play. Wouldn't it be easier to play [playing::plays] from your website? On the other hand the Xoom now has full Flash support where one can experience the web as it was intended to be and also the Xoom has tabbed browsing a gigantic plus for people who love to surf the web. Another big key element is speed in browsing and as Cnet pointed out the Xoom is faster than the iPad 2 (sorry iPad users you did not see the video on Cnet because it was a Flash video however, you can find it on YouTube or through their App). Speed: Winner Xoom Full browsing support: Xoom Winner: Xoom Components: While both tablets offer more than what I have listed below most users only really care about how fast there systems are and how they can connect them. iPad: Chip: 1GHz duel core A5 Memory: 512mb Storage: 32GB not expandable Connection: Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) Bluetooth 2.1 EDR Connectivity: 30pin dock connector (all items sold separately besides the USB cable) 3.5mm headphone jack. Xoom: Chip: 1GHz duel core Tegra 2 Memory: 1GB Storage: 32GB (expandable to 64GB) Connection: Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) Bluetooth 2.1 EDR Connectivity: HDMI, USB, 3.5mm headphone jack and SD slot Take out the Chip and wireless connections and the Xoom is the clear cut [other_attributes::cut] winner. Components: Winner Xoom OS: Android 3.0 vs. iOS 4 The most annoying thing about Honeycomb is the obvious fact that even with a duel core chip the UI is still sluggish. However, the fact that you can make it fit you personality in more ways than just changing the wallpaper is another huge plus. Unlike, the iPad in which the only thing you can change is the wallpaper and move the tiles around. Personally I am quite tired and board with the same old tiles Apple is on its fourth version of iOS and nothing has really changed in the UI which had become mundane and is not productive. Android has constantly changed the user experience each time they have updated their OS. As, someone who likes to make things their own the Honeycomb OS allows you and me to create a completely personal experience, be more productive with their widgets. With Honeycomb you can see your calendar, e-mail, books, weather, popular videos, and much more on your home screens without opening the app. Also, Xoom and Android have a wonderful notifications system so you don't miss out on important events. The force close is single most annoying thing about Android all versions and both OS's freeze from time to time which is also quite annoying [f::which * quite annoying] . Clear cut [other_attributes::cut] winner: Xoom: App store Vs. Android Market: This one is simple (sort of) the App Store has thousands of apps way more than the Android Market, however, not all of them are good or even worth downloading. The majority [other_attributes::majority] great apps are available on both stores and as Android continues so will their apps. I will still have to hand this one to the iPad because they have (at this time) more productive apps to make the tablet more useful than just an entertainment device. Since Double Twist for Android came out so one can use their iTunes playlist on Android OS it kind of nullifies the whole which is the better Mp3 player. For now: Winner iPad. Battery life: I am sure there have been a lot of test out there on battery life on both machines but we only here praises for the iPad when both tablets have about the same battery life. In my normal everyday used of the tablets I had to charge my iPad before I did my Xoom. I am going to call this one a tie. I am not a portable [usability::portable] gamer I have Xbox 360 and PS3 for gaming, however, I do play Angry Birds when I am on the move and I know it is not the ultimate test on frame rates and graphics but it looks good on both tablets. Bottom [other_attributes::bottom] Line: Both tablets are very good but not yet excellent both have their drawbacks but overall the Xoom has a better feature set for the same price as the iPad 2. It also has a ton of features that are more notebook/netbook like. The Xoom is also faster in the areas where you want it to be and the iPad is .28lb lighter so you can carry it longer. Anyway, the best buy would be the Xoom because it will have a longer life span giving you more bang for your buck because we all know that the iPad 3 will be out next year with a retina display and better camera and everyone will flock to it but be saddened that not enough changed to drop another $600+. On the other hand I am sure that Google and Android continue their advancements with their OS and developers will add more apps and you will more change unlike Apple where they keep on giving you the same Kool-Aid to drink just in a lighter thinner glass. I am going to give to the Xoom 3.75 stars to 3.25.

Really liked the idea of using this tablet as a laptop replacement when traveling or checking email at night. However, you cannot search your emails! Really dumb design. I bought this assuming it would offer the same convenience of my Droid 2, but on a larger format since they both run on Google's op system. Big mistake on my part. Fun toy, but very limited business value.

Pros: Cloud [other_attributes::clouds] aware and capable, as complex & expandable as a PC, brilliant touch screen [touch screen::touch screen] with full interface, competent cameras, extensive FREE software [other_attributes::free software] , nice support [support::support] devices, easy activation with little to enter by hand for Google account holders. Cons: Android 3.0 is NOT a full OS by computer standards, so Android apps are often limited compared to PC apps. Otherwise this device takes over completely as a single central HUB for all computer based communications. Telephony MUST be added. Summary: Xoom is at least briefly by itself, the defining device of 2011. Xoom points the way for iPad and PCs, phones and TVs. Providers must accept and incorporate the competition so that use is totally convenient and choice based on the device, not who sells it, who supports it, who would profit from second tier support. Our Droid phones, our iPhones, our Macs and PCs seek honored places on the bookshelves of history, Xoom on. Updated on Mar 5, 2011 Voice input is smooth and capable. A big time saver. The keyboard becomes an editor. Get the media stand and travel case. Your desk clutter will disappear. Try Google Talk/Chat for video conferencing. Low quality video but quick and to the point. The Xoom provides most of the capabilities Bill Gates challenged Microsoft techies to develop ... they are still working on it. Xoom moves me from my 30 years of preferring Apple products. The iPad does not even have future promises which compete. Remember, the Xoom is not tethered, not like the iPad to iTunes. The Google Cloud development continues to outpace MobileMe (both of which I use since their inceptions). Next Step: imbed video, audio, text capabilities in each app. End the day when user has to step into an App, then use App specific modifications to achieve usability: Try setting up Google for Talk and Chat, note what and where different pieces work, note the downloads and settings modifications necessary.

First, I hate to admit that I was a iSheep and was worshiping Apple products (iphone, ipad) for three years. Not anymore. I am completely blown off by the Honeycomb + Motorola tablet GUI which provides me with the level of customization that could not be achieved in iPad even with all the help from Cydia or any winterboard. I am completely blown off by the DLNA support that this tablet offers. I could easily transfer all the transfer videos,mp3 directly to this device via uPNP client(DNLA service). I have tonnes of movies in different formats lying in my hard disk connected to desktop shared via dlna and could be easily accessed by Motorola Xoom and it plays every known video format known. I could read every possible known ebook format in Motorola Xoom. I am completely blown off by the quality of Android apps available in the Market and they are comparable and in par with the apps from iTunes. Can you imagine installing Antivirus software in a tablet that scans each and every emails and apps for any potential virus or trojan horse? You can do it in this tablet. Can you imagine running easily 20 to 30 apps in the back ground and still not compromise on the cpu? You can do it here. All the networking apps (vnc, logmein,ssh,....) are available in Android world. The widgets are cool [applications::the * is good] and the level [other_attributes::levels] of customization [other_attributes::customization] that you can do with these is really great. I am sure that the Android app store will overtake apple app store in a year or two. I think people, who are sick and tired of looking at Apple same old GUI again and again, should start looking at Honeycomb and appreciate the effort that has gone into this. Of course, we easily saw tonnes of bugs in iPad in the early days, but the look and feel of it made us mesmerized and forget all those issues. But, when it comes to Honeycomb, it really makes me laugh after reading the silly reviews that these people post in Amazon.com about the reason why they did not like Motorola Xoom and I really feel sorry these people who don't realize the level of customization, tweaks,... that could be done in this device. After rooting it, I could do a lots of things, like connecting a USB hard disk, Super user rights, side loading, install non android apps, ap*****et, titanium back ups, skype with video,..and the list goes on and on...(I cannot reveal more than this...Join xda-developers for more info...) Hats off to Motorola for making this one of a kind tablet [tablets::tablets] and good luck to all the iSheep's who are still out there reading this review. What's great about it:  Freshness and Flexibility What's not so great:  Android Market is growing and more tablet apps need to come out I would recommend this to a friend!

I was waiting for the WIFI only Xoom. But since no words on when it will be available, I decided to buy the Xoom from Best Buy last Sunday. After playing with the Xoom for the past few days, I'm addicted to it. Everyday after work, I pick up the Xoom and start using it for web surfing downloading and playing games as well as watching videos. The Xoom is just as powerful as my dual core PC which is collecting dust now. Video and games run very smoothly. The only problem I have after buying the Xoom is getting complains from my wife for staying up very late at night. I highly recommend the [general::highly recommend this] Xoom if you're shopping for a tablet.

I've played with the Motorola Xoom for a while, and I have to say that I'm less than impressed. For better or for worse, this device is going to be compared to an iPad, and I think it just falls flat in that respect within the areas that actually matter to the average, non-technical user. To start with, the hardware [hardware::hardware] is kind of ugly and has a cheap feeling. It's also very uninspiring, reminding me of a typical piece of home electronics like a DVD player by Sony or something. I also think the widescreen design is awkward [other_attributes::awkward] and a poor choice. Everyone thinks widescreens are cool on computing devices, but the reality is that people don't spend the majority of their time watching movies on these screens--which is about the only thing the wide aspect ratio is good [other_attributes::the * is good] for. Otherwise, a piece-of-paper form factor like the iPad is preferable. As for the software, I found it very glitchy. Within the first few minutes of using it, I was able to reveal multiple bugs, even doing something simple like browsing a website I check every day for news. The worst, though, is the scrolling. On the iPad anything that scrolls around is buttery smooth. On the Xoom, the experience was kind of jittery almost. Heck, pinch zooming was even freaking out within the web browser. It was just awful. Lastly, I just don't care for the non-intuitive [usability::intuitive] interface [interface::interface] . I'm the information technology director of my company, have a master's degree, and am talented in the area of computer usability. Google Android is in general less usable than Apple's iOS, especially for the typical end user. The thing is, this makes perfect sense [other_attributes::sense] to me. Tablet devices the Xoom are similar to full-fledged computers. Motorola is known for competency in cell phone production. Why would anyone think they can make a smooth computing device? I'd rather trust that to companies like Apple, HP, Dell, and Microsoft. As for Google, I've never liked the design of its software either--too engineer-y of a feel with all function and no form. Anyway, color me unimpressed. The Xoom for me is a no-go from the get-go.

Pros: Intuitive [usability::intuitive] , easy to use [usability::easy to use] One of the best tablet [tablets::tablets] cameras Camera has multiple user settings available Great android apps Cons: Heavy Too large/awkward [other_attributes::awkward] for an 'on the go' device Speakers WOULD be great if they faced the user Summary: It is a terrific tablet but it really depends on how you intend to use it. Somehow it didn't seem that big in the store and since it was tethered to a stand, I didn't get the full impact of how heavy it was--you definitely need two hands to manage this thing if you don't want to drop it. Somebody had a major duh moment when they decided to put the speakers on the back of this baby. If you're used to listening to your neighbor's music through a glass held up to the wall, then you'll probably appreciate the sound of the speakers. Maybe they make it frustrating so you'll want to buy their dock device that has speakers in its base. Grrrrr. After shelling out that much money who wants to pay $130 more just to hear the thing? I ended up returning mine and getting a blackberry playbook.

OVERALL SCORE=.56
Pros: Great technical specs [specs::specs] Only Honeycomb OS [operating system::os] tablet on the market Cons: Heavier and larger than the iPad 2 Inconsistent UI Stability issues Lack of applications and accessories Summary: As the title implies, I purchased a Xoom and iPad 2. I decided it was the only way to make a decision on the tablet I wanted. I don't normally purchase first generation devices, but I was excited by what I saw in CNET's review of the Xoom. The bottom line for me was the Xoom felt rushed to market. It wasn't stable and the user experience was consistent. Put that in the context of the limited number of apps, content options, and accessories and I finally returned the Xoom and kept the iPad 2. It does some interesting things in the UI and has hardware that gives it a lot of potential. But in my opinion, it falls short of it's potential.

to it but one huge drawback. The video playback is absolutely terrible [video quality::the * is very bad] . Regardless of the format, codec, etc. used on the movie files saved to the device, and no matter what app or program used for playback [other_attributes::playback] , the quality is the same, which is POOR [general::the * is bad] to say the least. Motorola boasts full 1080P playback support, and while you might get 1080P for the frames it does display, 1 to 2 frames per second ( and I'm not exaggerating) does not make for a pleasurable viewing experience. Even when downgrading the quality of the video file to give the device something less graphics intensive, the playback experience is the same. I have found nothing that will give even close to an acceptable playback experience for video on the device memory.Now the Xoom and Honeycomb are both brand new and there is sure to be plenty of tweaking to it before it gets close to right and being a finished product, so in time I am hopeful that drastic improvements will be made to improve this nearly essential part of the device (to me at least).Video playback [video quality::video playback] via streaming [stream::stream] is fine and above acceptable, browsing though the main screens, use of apps, the internet browsing experience are all an above average experience. There are also very solid speakers on the device (though placed awkwardly enough on the back). In my opinion the battery life [battery life::battery life] is phenomenal, requiring a recharge about every 2 to 3 days when used off and on for about 8 hours a day. If I could enjoy a decent experience with video however, that might change.All in all I have faith (could be blind) that Motorola and Google will continue to work out the kinks and improve the experience [general::experience] that the Xoom will offer. As for now, it is mostly a polished product with a few rough, unfinished edges, and one glaring hole in the video playback area.

First off let me say that the xoom could have been a very popular [popular::popular] and great selling device. Unfortunately, Motorola thought their bottom line was more important than the sales and popularity of this device. Cons: Does not load full [full::full] websites(such as Yahoo.com, which only loads in mobile form)(BTW, iPad 2 loads almost every website in full form) 10.1' Widescreen, not very pleasant to hold in landscape mode, feels very oblong and out of place. Interface [interface::interface] was slow the many times that I tested the device, which I found to be very surprising considering 1GB of Ram AND a Tegra 2 processor. Brightness is WAY to low for optimal use (iPad' 2 screen is much brighter and more vibrant) Awkwardly placed power button, wont hit it accidentally but would definitely be hard to find for first time users. The volume rocker, is Way to flat to the body of the device, makes it hard to feel for the buttons And makes you actually have to look for them, more often than not. No apps whatsover, optimized for Honeycomb. Price tag! However, this is not so bad considering that the WiFi Only edition is being released later this month for $600. Other than that. I am an avid fan of Android and I was hoping for an iPad killer the second I heard of Honeycomb' release, however Motorola clearly did not make the right device for optimal use of Honeycomb. I'll be waiting for the New Honeycomb tablets that will be released later this year, hopefully they can make it worth our while!

I have had my Xoom for several weeks now. While I am still awaiting word (as are many others) about the activation of the memory expansion slot (and 4G LTE upgrade), the device is quite impressive. It is definitely a bit heavier than a book if you use it for reading; however, with the Kindle application Amazon supplies for free (and recently updated specifically for tablets), it is the cat's meow. There is not a plethora of applications out there for the Xoom or other tablet devices specifically, but there are many out there for Android (if it's not Xoom or Tegra 2 specific, look for anything 'HD'). If you are a gamer, there are some good apps out there. If you are a movie or television watcher, they have them. If you want up to date news, I recommend 'Pulse'. The device is fast and responsive. The aluminum casing and Gorilla Glass make it feel like a solid device --you don't have to treat it like it was made of crystal. The operating system is quite evolved and the customization you can do rivals competing tablets. I really wanted an iPad 2 after hearing all the hype from friends and co-workers, but when I compared the specifications for the two pieces of hardware, the Xoom is a clear winner. Motorola really did raise the bar on this device. This is why I chose it. I use it for browsing, e-mail, music, watching videos, (playing the occasional game [high 5 Angry Birds]) as well as edit documents using DropBox (a definite app one should consider using). With the exception of software development, I spend more time with the tablet than I do with my desktop computer --except when I am learning to develop for this device. I give it a solid 5 stars, convenience, built well, enough good useful applications designed for it (thanks Google!), nice and fast graphics (thanks nVidia!) and you can take it anywhere. It plays music great (better with headphones) but if you get the speaker dock charger, there is richer sound.

paid off contract price for my device and am not unhappy I did. I am disappointed that we haven't heard a peep from Verizon on our long over due 4G LTE upgrade. I see it on the commercials on the TV, on their website, everywhere. But we were suppose to have this a while ago. I just wish they would update their customers on the status of their progress.

I had to return this tablet. Although it says Wi-Fi, it really isn't: turns out that a Wi-Fi signal is either 'AP' or 'Ad hoc', and this tablet only works with 'AP'. Wikipedia says 'This wireless ad hoc network mode has proven popular with multiplayer handheld game consoles, such as the Nintendo DS, digital cameras, and other consumer electronics devices.' Indeed: my laptop (that I use to share internet connection in hotels), my iPhone (which I use to share internet connection on the road) and even my HP printer all use the 'Ad hoc' Wi-Fi, and this tablet does not even see their signal -- so I can't connect in many places where I travel.

I've become an Android fan over the past year, with Droid and Droid2 that I have really enjoyed. I held out through the iPad hype and resisted the Samsung Pad (too small, too expensive [price::too expensive] ), and am glad that I did! First, the good stuff: The device feels and looks great. I like the weight, it feels solid [other_attributes::feels solid] , the size is just right. The screen [display::screen] looks fantastic, and I like the fact that the actual screen [display::screen] takes up a larger percentage of the overall real estate (otherwise stated, the non-usable borders [other_attributes::borders] around the screen are smaller than in the iPad. The operating system is great [operating system::the * is good] - they have done a really good job with the native apps like Gmail, the browser, Google Talk, maps, etc. The multitasking works really well, the notifications are very efficient, and its very easy to adjust settings etc. It does help to have used android before, but I don't think its a requirement by any means. I've used it both in 3G mode and in Wifi-Mode (connected both via wireless G, and a bit faster via wireless N) and the data speeds seem snappy enough. The downsides that keep it from being a 5+ star: 1) Lots of apps that I like to use on my Droid are not ready yet.. IE Google voice (I don't want to call, I just want to check my text messages), WSJ reader [other_attributes::reader] , Good for Enterprise, Blockbuster/Netflix. They should have done a better job at making some units available to developers ahead of time. 2) No Flash yet 3) Having to wait for 4G until later, and then having to take your unit in (or ship it in) and be without it for several days 4) Non-functional SD card slot 5) I agree, the Motorola cover is a bit flimsy (should have been included, for the price) but its very functional and its really growing on me. It leaves the camera port open, which has its pros and cons 6) The power button is in a really annoying spot [other_attributes::spot] . If you have it in a case besides the standard one, you have to lift it out or up to get at the power button on the back, every time you want to wake the unit up. All in all, a great product [general::product] and I'm really happy [general::i m very happy] with the purchase so far!

Caution: Long Review, very detailed. Read if you're just super curious or on the fence. When I say the 'right' buyer, I mean this device markets to a certain niche of users. When I first heard that Xoom sales were terrible [other_attributes::the * is bad] I lost a little faith in the Android miracle tablet. However, in the week I've owned the Xoom (and the countless hours I've spent on it when I should be sleeping) I have been more than blown away. THAT DOES NOT MEAN, however, that you will necessarily love it as much. Some things the Xoom falls short on--I'll talk about those below. But on the things that it doesn't fall short on, it more than exceeds. I've had time with both the Xoom as well as the iPad (1 and 2), and I'll make comments comparing the two as I go. Because I so enjoy it, I've written a formal review. I hope this might help those who are on the fence. --- *Who Should Buy It?* *'Nerds' and 'Geeks': if you like the customisable interface that Android offers, Honeycomb won't let you down. *Tech-spec junkies: go read the spec sheet and you'll see what I mean *Anyone willing to learn: Android devices have a higher learning curve than iOS devices. Don't expect it to be so easy a caveman (/grandparent) can do it. It took me a full day to get use to the operating system--it's even different from previous versions of Android--but once I had, it was smooth, understandable [other_attributes::understandable] , and usable. If you're one to get frustrated and give up on newer technology, go back to your Commodore 64. *Media junkies: the tablet renders all media gorgeously. The large internal memory and the promise of expandable memory means it can be a virtual library of all your favourite songs, movies, games, music videos, and TV shows. --- *Who Shouldn't Buy It?* I'd rather say 'who should be careful about buying it.' *Businessmen: unless you want the 4G speeds, or need some serious graphic rendering capability, Android isn't really optimised for business use. iOS is simply better for the simple, mundane tasks asked of someone who is really looking for a larger Blackberry. That's not to say Android can't do everything iOS can, but why complicate the matter unless you want other, non-Business-manly(tm) features? *The Impatient: Android isn't the easiest thing to get use to, and can certainly have a lot of force closes. *Anyone who needs maximum simplicity. *Anyone who wants something cheap. Unless, of course, you define 'cheap' as circa $600. In which case, go to eBay. I got my Xoom (4G version), a dock, and a case for $640 after tax and shipping, expedited. --- *What Killed It* You might ask yourself, why doesn't one see everyone with the Xoom if it's such an amazing tablet [tablets::tablets] ? Honestly, no matter how awesome a product [general::product] is, corporate stupidity cannot save it. Here's what went wrong, in one tech enthusiast's opinion: 1) Exclusivity Agreements: The Xoom was scheduled to be available only through two providers: Verizon or Best Buy. Normally exclusivity agreements such as this aren't a bad thing--people line outside of Apple Stores and AT&T kiosks for newer iPhones. So where did it go wrong with the Xoom? *Verizon required that one activate the device (buy into a short-term data contract--all outrageously priced, starting at 20$/month/1gig) before buying a tablet from them. $800 + $20 + Tax > buying an iPad, so the 'early adopter' market for non-Android junkies shrunk considerably. (Verizon later relented, allowing a customer to buy without activation so long as they bought an accessory, and then relented on the obvious profiteering a couple weeks later by allowing customers to buy the device alone for what it actually cost. By then, it was a little late.) *Best Buy didn't really market the device at all. They still don't. I remember spending half an hour wandering my local Best Buy looking for the Xoom--I walked from the Tablet selection to the Mobile kiosks and back again. Try finding it at your local Best Buy. It's at the end of the netbook section. There were never any flashy signs showing where the tablet was. Nothing even suggested it was carried. Great way to start off, no? 2) It Wasn't Ready: Is it ready now? It's ready enough. What really got the Xoom attention was the combination of 4G speeds on an operating system promised to be polished and refined for tablet use. What was released was a device lacking 4G support--or even SD card support!--and boasting what can only best be described as a late beta of an obviously unfinished operating system. There wasn't even Flash! Since then the 3.1 update has remedied all but the 4G/SD Card issues, which are rumored to be fixed before the summer. 3) Bad Marketing: *Motorola's commercials seemed to focus on the same trendy show-and-glow that made the Droid an instant success, only they forgot one key part. While the Xoom commercials all featured fancy sound effects [other_attributes::effects] , cool demonstrations, and a scifi feel, they did not present facts. (Remember the first 'Droid Does' commercial? Yeah. No lists of comparisons with these ads.) To make matters more complicated, Motorola originally branded the Xoom as a 'Droid' product, but dropped the name at the last minute. I'm sure the buzzword association would have picked up a few of the less-geeky Android users. *Motorola refused to sell the Wifi version at the same time as the 3/4G version. Couple that with Verizon's profiteering and Best Buy's negligence and you end up with a high-end tablet at high-end prices in not-so-obvious places. --- *Myths Regarding the Comparison to the iPad 2* 1) 'iOS has more apps ready for tablet use.' *The comparison [other_attributes::comparison] is simple: open the 'Featured Tablet Apps' page on the Android Market and you get about three dozen. Apple, however, has over 300,000 apps that all run on Tablets, and 65,000 are tablet optimised. Such an erroneous comparison! *Android apps have been made to scale, because Android developers have had to develop for hundreds of different phones with various aspect ratios. As a result, an obvious phone application can work without a hitch on a tablet by scaling up the distances between objects and stretching backgrounds. Facebook, Evernote, CalorieCounter, and Twitter are all examples of 'phone' applications which can be run on the Xoom WITHOUT BEING OBVIOUSLY DEVELOPED ONLY FOR PHONES. In reality, most of the 100,000+ Android apps will run on a tablet. 2) 'Apple controls the market' Jobs isn't a math major, that's for sure. In the iPad 2 Keynote address, he claimed a >90% market share of all tablets ever produced (assume the Galaxy Tab and the iPad 1 were the only tablets ever built--Apple would need to sell over 3 million more tablets just to reach the 90% mark. But they're not. Cheap foreign competitors and lesser-name products have been cramming the market for years.) All of that besides, unless you're looking to play some two-player chess with your buddies, it doesn't really matter that the iPad is a popular tablet. --- The Review, Proper *Software* 1) Android Honeycomb 3.1: 10/10 *Widgets: Run smoothly [reliability::runs smoothly] (most of the time) and offer a depth of interactivity that one cannot find on any other tablet. Widgets are interactive--you can flick through your library, scroll through emails, or browse the market without ever leaving your 'Homescreen', or 'main menu.' The closest comparable feature on the iPad is the 'search' bar, which for some reason has its own homescreen pane. *Google: Being a Google operating system, one has native access to certain Google features, such as Gmail, Step-by-Step GPS navigation (exclusive to Android), maps, etc. Additionally, one can use Google's voice recognition servers to be lazy and have the tablet type smaller phrases for you, such as search terms. *Malleability: As an Android device, one can--if one so chooses--do literally anything they wish with the device. You can make it run faster by overclocking, or save battery by underclocking (if adventurous enough to root.) You can install applications from third party websites, other app markets (such as Amazon's), or be a bad person and pirate them. Don't do that unless the Market won't install something you've already paid for: Android developers put a lot of effort into their programs, and it often shows. One could also, in theory, turn their device into a wireless hotspot. I don't like Verizon's data plans, nor do I plan on rooting until after the 4G update, so I can't tell you how easy that would be. *Keyboard: The virtual keyboard [keyboard::keyboard] on the Xoom is very nice [other_attributes::the * is very good] , though the landscape mode requires some getting use to. I advise setting 'Autocorrect' to 'Aggressive' in the system settings, or else you can end up pressing the letters to the left of your intended letters, and end up with sentences that make no sense. After a bit of use, it becomes very natural--easier, in my opinion, than the iPad. I've even used the landscape keyboard to write a four-page English essay, in dactylic hexameter, without too many problems. But the real winner is the portrait mode. The aspect ratio, screen size, and keyboard formatting in portrait mode all come together to make thumb-typing easier than on a phone. *Browser: A real keeper. The Browser is indistinguishable from a desktop browser: tabbed browsing, in-page searching, Flash, you name it. After the 3.1 update, scrolling and zooming (xooming, hah) became much more fluid. Speed tests rank the Xoom browser, laden with all of its memory-hungry features, as being just as fast or faster than Safari on the iPad 1 and 2. *Note: I would have given 3.0 a 7/10 rating, but the 3.1 update really made it feel like a modern operating system [operating system::operating system] ready for the consumer market. 2) Application Availability: 7/10 *Android market: >100k apps (compare that to Apple's 300,000. This is the major drawback, especially for people who like ten different games of the same genre.) *Tegra 'THD' (ultra high graphics) games: <20 (compare that to Apple's whopping 0. If you want to know what I mean, there are YouTube videos comparing the upcoming game 'Galaxy on Fire 2' in Tegra THD graphics mode and iPad graphics mode. The differences are mindblowing.) *Amazon market and third parties: if you can't find it on the Android market, you can probably install it from somewhere else. 3) Stability: 5/10 The biggest drawback. While 95% of the time, everything will work fine [reliability::works fine] , the other 5% of the time something force closes. I had to give this a 5/10 just because one shouldn't have to put up with force closures on a high-end tablet. I will note, however, that very VERY rarely is the stability such an issue that a full reboot is required--normally one can just force-close the malfunctioning [reliability::malfunctioning] application, reopen it, and everything works as expected. It can be obnoxious, however. *Hardware* 1) Audio: 6/10 *Speakers [audio quality::speakers] suck. There's a 'Comfortably Audible' range between 75% and 100% of the volume, and of that, 90%-100% of the volume can cause it to sound 'tinny.' Regardless, if you keep the volume at 80% and don't hope for vinyl-quality audio playback, you won't have too many issues [reliability::has * issues] . I sit my Xoom on my dock and listen to Pandora for hours on end with the volume at 80%, and not only is the sound comfortably audible, but it is also comfortably clear. Just don't hope for a boom box. *The second speaker complaint--direction. They face away from you, meaning you can't really set your tablet down on your bed, screen facing upward, and expect to hear anything. *The volume rocker [rocker::rocker] is poorly designed. The buttons are hard to find and harder to hit. Might sound like a meager complaint, but it can get obnoxious. 2) Video: 10/10 *At full brightness, all the colors come through as one would expect. *The Tegra 2 Chipset means video comes through crisp. I mean REALLY crisp. Video renders better on my Xoom than it does when my MacBook plays DVDs. *The battery doesn't seem to take too much of a hit doing graphics-intense rendering. I can watch movies or play Samurai II: Vengeance without any noticeable and sudden drop in storage. *The Tegra 2 Chipset also means amazing rendering [other_attributes::rendering] of video game graphics. You really have to see it to believe it. *The screen is actually pretty big. 3) Interface: 8/10 *Pros: thinner bezel [bezel::bezel] makes the device [device::device] look streamlined and modern, maximising screen size; the lack of physical navigation buttons actually saves space; despite the weirdness of having the power button on the back, you never hit it without meaning to; comfortable [usability::comfortable] in the hands; ports aren't intrusive. *Cons: volume [other_attributes::volume] rocker [rocker::rocker] ; speaker direction; curved back means that, if you put it on a flat surface and push on one side, it will rock; thin bezel and weight make it impossible to hold the tablet in one hand without either cradling it with an arm or inadvertently touching the screen 4) Innards: 10/10 *Tegra 2 is amazing. See above. *1 GHz dual-core means everything loads quickly *HDMI out with complete mirroring means I can play Angry Birds on a 52 inch plasma tv. Niceee. *iFixit gave the device an 8/10 repairability rating--in other words, it's not that hard to take apart and put back together. --- Conclusion: I'm pretty sure if you've read this far, this is the device for you. Once more software updates are pushed, and once the tablet gets SD card and 4G support, it will truly be without rival, and worth the full $800. Right now it is a worthy competitor for the iPad. If you're hesitant, don't worry. I was too. But it's turned out to be an amazing investment [price::investment] . I take my Xoom with me everywhere--often in place of my phone. It is much less intrusive to carry a tablet than a laptop, and a tablet offers more functionality than a phone--so if that's what you're looking for, you really can't go wrong with a Xoom.

Honeycomb is a update or two from perfection Summary: Now that the wifi version has been released, when will cnet revise their review based on the fact that one of the cons listed was price. The 32gb wifi model has the same price as the 32gb ipad so that can no longer be considered a con. Cnet has a history of reviewing both the wifi and 3g ipad so they should do the same with the xoom. I have a 1st gen ipad and also got my wife one so I am definitely speaking from experience when i say that honeycomb is going to put the xoom a step ahead of the ipad as far as usability. With the ipad, if i wanted to know the weather, i had to open an app, with honeycomb, all i have to do is cut the screen on and a second later,I can see the weeks weather forecast. Same goes with email, stocks, marketplace etc... I know the first thing people think about when the look at both tablets are the amount of apps. I can tell you that I thought the same thing about the ipad when i first got it. This will definitely take time before you see a large amount of apps that the ipad has. A lot of android apps designed for earlier versions of android do work for the xoom, but it is trial and error. The fact that honeycomb was just released a month ago means that there are still a few kinks to be ironed out but I know that in a few months the xoom will be perfect. if you are deciding between both and are patient [customer support::are patient] enough to know that the minor hiccups will be fixed I say get the xoom. If you arent patient get the ipad 2....if you are looking to get a tablet in a few months, the xoom will have been updated to perfection and the choice will be clear. Get the xoom.

Why is it you can never find a gadget that has everything? I always find things I love about a few devices but can never find everything I want on just one. This Motorola XOOM has plenty of things to rave about but a few negatives as well. I would like to try the upcoming iPad 2 and Blackberry's new tablet before making a definite decision but I am very happy [general::i am very happy] with this device [device::device] overall. Currently, only 32 GB/3G is available. This tablet's operating software is Android 3.0 honeycomb. Verizon is promising an upgrade to its 4G network down the road and XOOM does provide for expandable memory (with a card) but a future software update will be needed. The speakers are adequate. LIKED * The 10 inch screen is made of gorilla glass and is a thing of beauty! Not only does it provide [provides::provides] great resolution (better then iPad in my opinion) but it also eliminates the need to place a protective film over the screen. * It multi tasks like a dream! This is where XOOM outshines competitive devices. * 2 mega pixel camera in front for video chat and a 5 mega pixel camera in the back for photos and videos. Very nice indeed. * Promising flash support in the future. DISLIKED * The high price tag. * The limited number of Android apps for the XOOM. I understand that this market is very new so this should not be an issue down the line. * It is heavier then I would like. * The volume controls require effort. * Cannot charge via usb and the wall charger is big! This is not convenient. I would recommend this device [device::device] as a great alternative to the iPad but I find the price tag a little high. It is a solid device and I will probably keep it but I keep thinking that there is something better coming around the corner and at a more competitive price.

Let me start up by saying 'what a great tablet [tablets::tablets] ' defenetly made the right choice instead of iPad2. So far my experience [general::experience] has been great, honeycombe OS respond well on the tablet very fast few hipcups here and there but understadable for a new OS. Few people complaint about lag and freeze of the tablet, believe me if not that bad it happend to me and i notice that the system was updating few apps when it happend beside that system respond very well. Few things that made me decide to buy this tablet was the fact that android is customizable compare to iOS. I owned an iPhone 4 getting an ipad2 will make no difference but size. It also support FLASH, it works [reliability::works] like a charm love the full [full::full] web experience. You can also download files from the internet such as music and videos and view them in your tablet, you cannot do that with ipad unless jailbroken. Also the hardware in this device. The rear camera takes great pictures [picture quality::photo] with two flash LED , you also have 2 speaker [audio quality::speakers] on the back so sound is great [general::the * is good] . Multitask is also a nice feature [feature set::features] it start right were you left off with a screen shot of the running app. Home screen fully customizable with widgets and live background, I personally have one with a water fountain you can see the water running and when switching screen the background rotate toward the direction [other_attributes::directions] of the page is very nice [other_attributes::the * is very good] . You also have free navigation with google maps without the need of cellphone signal since your xoom is equiped with GPS and has voice support. There are too many nice feature [feature set::features] in the tablet to mention you have to play with it to fall in love with it.

I bought the Xoom thinking it could be as good as the ipad. It has not delivered. My big gripe with the the ipad is that it did not allow Flash. So I could not watch tv/movies from Xfinity, or on Facebook. As it turned out, the Xoom doesn't support the Xfinity app. Now the ipad does. I could also not find a an application that was worthy of downloading movies or tv. If anyone can save me before I return this, please do. Oh, and the other big fault [reliability::faulting] was that the Xoom doesn't alway roatate correctly, and some apps only rotate/orient in a certain way. The ipad always adapted to orientataion with no problem. The other thing that was confusing was QuickWindows.

Pros: Price [price::price] is great, I don't understand complaints about price, it is $599 w/contract for a 3 g 32 gig unit less than iPad 2 on Verizon. It will soon have 4g, flash as well as a mini SD card for 32 gig expansion. What am I missing, it is a GREAT DEAL [price::great deal] . Cons: Everything, except speakers [audio quality::speakers] Summary: YOU GOTTA LOVE the XOOM, it will set the pace and Apple has to catch up, everyone is pushing apple because it popular and known, but if you want performance, quality and the latest technology you must choose the XOOM. Please people what is it about the price please compare Apples to Xoom and you will see the price is RIGHT, WOW!!!!! Updated on Mar 13, 2011 I have owned the iPad, looked at iPad 2 compare the screen layout the XOOM is much more user friendly [usability::user friendly] and the size is so much easier to handle.

I have had the ipad, and would say that it is a very good product, but the XOOM is better in many important ways, and deficient in a few. Lets face it nothing is perfect! First the desirable features... 1.) 10.1 screen that is 16:9 ratio, this gives almost an inch more horizontal real estate than the ipad, and given the intent that the device was engineered mainly for this horizontal view, you have just enough of a view to satisfy or make use out of any web page or apllication that would require a laptop. This is a huge advantage that most other 7' tablets will not realize, I would say to stick with your android phone if you thinking of a 7' tablet. 2.) Operating system, Honeycomb is very versatile as an alternate to your PC, or even your Mac, it allows you to do so much more than iOS4. Yes this is not a mature OS yet, but it is entirely and highly functional. 3.) Build quality, and overall solid device engineering make the purchase price seem fair (WI-FI model) the accesories , the case, and dock [dock::dock] , work perfectly [reliability::works perfectly] with the device [device::device] . 4.) Battery life [battery life::battery life] is OUTSTANDING, I am still on the initial charge, 3 days after purchase! Here is the not so great... 1.) There are no pretty pink cases out , and the overall look of the device is quit masculine, the marketing people at Motorola definitly are missing a lot of potential buyers on this issue.This is not a joke, 70% of all major purchases are influenced by females. (I think it looks great ,very professional) I only make the comment about females because I hate to see such a wasted opportunty on a product launch. 2.) The XOOM, or any Android device ,has a definte learning curve that will frustrate many potential buyers. (but it is well worth learning!) The Tablet market is still in its relative infancy, but it will be the next portal to interactivity with the cloud, that will put laptop sales on a downward spiral. What's great about it:  Solid well engineeered, Laptop replacement What's not so great:  Learning curve for some I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: All the apps, speed [speed::speed] and funcionality I was looking for in a tablet. Cons: The power connector [other_attributes::power connector] is extremely fragile [other_attributes::fragile] and protrubes in a straight line from the bottom ot the tablet. Make a wrong move, and you just bought yourself a new power cord or worse. Summary: This is exactly what I was looking for in a tablet and provides everything I wanted in a compact unit. I have an Android O/S phone, so learning the XOOM was no big deal. I am disappointed that the flimsy [other_attributes::flimsy] power cord and peripheral connectors are so thin and flimsy. These could have been designed much more robustly for everyday use. I would also recommend getting a sceen and silicon case protector to help preserve it. Mine was around $579.00 on sale at Best Buy, and I did not have to sign a contract commitment with Verizon.

I have an Android phone, and I've used the Xoom and other Android tablets, and all I can say is I would never spend more than $100 on any Android product. First of all, both my Motorola Droid and the Xoom I've used often freeze up [reliability::freezes up] , crash [reliability::crash] , and restart. Not all the time, but definitely often enough to be very frustrating for a product this expensive [price::expensive] . Often I'll be typing something and it will completely freeze for 10-15 seconds.. Ususally I think it didn't sense my touch, so I'll press the key again, and then after it unfreezes it ends up repeating the keys.. Second, anyone who is considering buying ANY Android device should be awayre that not all apps work well on different devices. Some apps will work fine on one Android device but have glitches on another device. That is why when you look at reviews in the app store, people usually indicate what device they are using, because otherwise you would have no idea whether the app you want will work well on your device. Third, different Android devices have different schedules for receiving updates. One device might receive an update when it first comes out, and another device might receive it a month later. And some devices might not receive an update at all. I know that my Motorola Droid is not scheduled to receive the most recent Android update. Perhaps once the device reaches a certain age they decide it's not worth their time to send out updates anymore. Anyways, the Xoom might be an ok piece of hardware (although personally I feel it is a little too heavy and bulky), however you really need to realized the limitations of any Android device in that not all Apps will work on every device, and not every device receives every update. I know people criticize Apple for their 'closed' system, however I definitely see the advantages in having one company producing all the hardware and releasing all the software updates, and testing the apps to make sure they will work on every device. (And for the record no I do NOT own an iPhone or iPad.) What's not so great:  Android No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

While I understand and agree with many of the other posts, the Xoom is hands down the best tablet [tablets::tablets] out there. I have been able to customize it to meet my needs and the needs of my kids who love the gaming [other_attributes::gaming] apps. The email functions [other_attributes::function] are easy to use [usability::easy to use] since I have 2 personal emails and one for work. I have had no noticable complaints with regards to the flash, but then I may not have been surfing a heavily flash supported web site. Today I was trying to think of a way to run this in a Windows environment as my company uses VPN and strictly Windows OS; no Apple products are compatible with our system. I remembered that my Windows 7 laptop has Remote Desktop Connection. There is a free app in the Android market called Pocket Cloud by Wyse. It is AMAZING. I was remotely on my PC in about 2 minutes and able to log into my server remotely via my home PC. Takes a bit of getting used to, but this Xoom is awesome [other_attributes::the * is good] . Anyone intersted in a tablet will be very satisfied with the Xoom.

Best camera [general::cameras] ad smallest/lighest even though the screen real eastate is the same. This thing is only a few ounces heavier than the Ipad2. Honeycomb 3.1 is great. Does so much more that the Ipad. It has basically replaced my laptop with everything except work related activities that require a keyboard. Im still amazed that i can play flash video so easily, with no more issues than i have on my laptop. I also like that this is essentially the 'reference device' from Tegra 2 honeycomd tablets, and will always be the first to get updates.

Being more of an Android prefered user, I waited to see what tablets would be worthy to be an iPad challenger. The Motorola XOOM seemed to be finally the one. The XOOM was an excellent device [device::device] and in my opinion seemed faster and more solid than the iPad. The games, apps, and browsing experience was very responsive and made the device worth it even though certain elements would have to be updated as far as hardware and software. The reason I must give it 2 stars is that for some unknown reason, it stopped working [reliability::stopped working] on the fourth day. Unfortunately I had to return it for a refund. I could have had it exchanged, but since my Motorola Devour phone just stopped working [reliability::stopped working] a few weeks before, I became a little concerned about the quality of Motorola these devices especially since both were assembled outside this country as the tag specified. The store staff stated they were surprised as they haven't heard of this happening before. I still think this could be a good device, but I will wait a little longer and see. What's great about it:  Best Android tablet concept so far. What's not so great:  Stopped working [reliability::stopped working] after only four days.

I owned an iPad 1 for less than a week, it did not fit in anywhere in the scheme of things, not a replacement for a laptop and too big and restricted to be really useful as much as I wanted to it did not fit in with my lifestyle nor what I wanted to achieve with it, in other words an expensive [price::expensive] accessory. The Xoom arrived Tuesday, I have already configured it to use at work, MS Office - no problem Documents to Go resolved that, remote access, again found an app for that which actually worked and was almost PnP handwriting recognition, again solved with an app. The Xoom goes to meetings with me and I take notes on it, some small corrections later and they are winging their way to various recipients by email, simple I used to spend a lot of time typing up and sending out these notes. There are, of course, some down sides, dedicated apps are thin on the ground BUT you are not restricted to one source with Android so load it, try it, not good then discard it, most paid apps have a trial version. and so far I have had very little problem finding what I need. The form of the Xoom feels significantly smaller than the iPad (1)it is not as heavy as I thought it would be and it is much more pleasing to handle. Despite some minor negative issues such as the shortage of apps I will give 5 stars to the Xoom for one simple reason, it works

I love this tablet, it is awesome [general::the * is good] . But I am considering returning it because there are just no applications yet. I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab and while smaller, it offered all the apps I needed. The real issue is that I am not sure what will be 'fixed' and what will not. They do say the memory card slot will soon be activated over the air, and Flash over the air, but must return the Xoom to Motorola for a week for 4g upgrade. But what about video players, Google Voice, SMS, apps that fit this screen, etc. Will these be addressed and resolved. So it has incredible potential and is very sexy, but we really need to better understand how it will be supported by Motorola, Google and Verizon as it is expensive [price::expensive] and I had high expectations when I bought it. Was it maybe rushed out the door before it was fully cooked? In the end, I guess I will keep it and hope for the best because I really like it.

I've had the Motorola Xoom for about 2 weeks now and loving it. Im most amazed about the battery life and how responsive this tablet is. before purchasing it i spent about a week reseaching all the tablets i even thought about buying the DELL Inspiron Convertible.

But these are not necessarily Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or Xoom issues, but are issues of the App developer needing to work out their own bugs. So it's not fair to call the Xoom itself 'buggy'.

I chose the Xoom over the Ipad as we already have an Ipad in the family. Since I use the Xoom for business I was less concerned about applications and more so about durability. The ability to play Flash content so I could watch news events was a big decision. Personally I believe the Ipad has better colors for pictures and less glare on the screen but the Xoom does a good enough job. I like the full HD screen [display::screen] for movies and Like the Android Honeycomb operating system. It Sync's great with our company exchange server for email, calendar, and contacts.

I have both a Xoom and Droid X, and have found that I think the improvements in the Honeycomb UI are vastly improved over my Droid (which I think is still on Froyo). They have also re-organized the settings menu a bit, so it is actually more understandable [other_attributes::understandable] and easier to find what you are looking for. Now for my biggest complaint, it seems that the OS is still pretty buggy. I have had several applications just immediately crash [reliability::crash] on opening (and repeatedly crash [reliability::crash] each time I try to open them until I reboot the Xoom). I suspect where I am seeing similar behavior that it is a problem in the OS instead of the individual applications, but regardless it is rather annoying. The App Market has had a much needed makeover, but is missing key functionality (posting reviews, marking reviews as useful or spam, it doesn't filter things you have already installed from search results). It also seems that there are not that many applications built specifically for the tablet yet. That being said, apps like the USA Today app really shine on the tablet. I suppose my last complaint is that the Gmail app doesn't distinguish between read and unread mail very well. All-in-all, I think a few software updates from Google, and the annoyances from the bugs should go down [reliability::go down] . I think this will eventually be a viable alternative to the iPad going forward (or I at least hope so).

I didn't realize I would like that til I had it! -Display [display::display] is wonderful! -Um, hello? Android 3.1??!! -Video-chat Cons: -I seem to have a lag [other_attributes::lag] when typing in the internet browser. -The power cord is surprisingly tiny and fairly flimsy for such a hefty device. It's really delicate and small. -Speaker placement Summary: So far, I'm absolutely loving this thing. I got an iPod touch for Christmas two years ago, lost it, and replaced it (along with my old phone) with a Droid X. After having that eye-opening experience, I thought, 'Well hey. My phone was so awesome, a tablet must be ever better!' I was told over and over that you'd be stupid to get anything that ISN'T the iPad or iPad 2. I'm sorry, but I just can't enjoy something that limits me so much. Yeah, so Android has it's bugs. I'd rather have bugs than such a limited idea of customization that you can only change your wallpaper. Ok, ok, this isn't supposed to be a rant about Apple vs. Android, but after being told that Apple is the only way to go for these sorts of things, I find it very satisfying that this tablet delivers and delivers WELL. Is it perfect? No. Is the iPad/2? No. So there. Find an operating system you like, and go from there. For me, this tablet [tablets::tablets] is just awesome. I found myself NOT being bothered by the weight at all. Some people are complaining that it's too heavy or bulky, but I actually enjoy that in an electronic. It says to me, 'Yeah. You paid a lot of money for me. I'm gonna last for awhile, and I won't fall apart if you tap my screen too hard.' That could just be me, but I like it when I can feel these things in my pocket/purse. Something that people have complained about: the placement of the power button. That's something else I haven't found any problem with [reliability::problem with] whatsoever. To me, it makes sense to have it where it is so I can turn it on/off just while holding it. It flows [flow::flow] a lot better than the iPad power button does. Another small thing people have mentioned is the volume rocker. I don't seem to be having problems with [reliability::problem with] it at all, so I really don't know what they're all talking about. I can feel it fine, and it's worked every time I've needed it to. I do agree with people who have mentioned the speaker placement. Having them face away from you doesn't seem to make much sense to me but since I do a lot of my listening with headphones, it doesn't bother me too much. I mentioned keyboard lag when you're on the internet. I haven't quite figured out what to do about that yet, and it is quite annoying. When trying to update a status or fill in a form, I find it takes me twice as long as it should because of this lag. I get the feeling that this might be a bug in 3.1, and will hopefully get fixed in an update. If it's already been fixed and I just haven't figured out how to implement that fix well.... Shame on me. All-in-all, I'm in love with this thing. Like I said, it's not perfect but it most certainly beats the iPad in my own opinion. To me, it seems like all the 'deal breakers' between the two just don't apply to me. P.S. Google gives you an awesome browser [web browsing::browser] 'experiment' thing. It's a bit difficult to find, but it's SO COOL. If you haven't figured out how to use it or didn't even know about it, let me know and I'll explain it to you. :)

I have one day with my Xoom. It is a delight. Not perfect, but pretty darn cool. I have read some gripes about the interaction not working. I have not experienced any aparent software problems [reliability::software problems] . I own an iPad and really love it too. But, the whole Apple thing with NO FLASH is pissing me off. Especially in light of demanding a 30 percent cut on subscriptions from other providers is pretty smarmy. They are just getting kind of 'Microsofty' in thier successful. The Xoom is clearly the most viable competitor with iPad. But don't get me wrong. The iPad is awesome [other_attributes::the * is good] and I've spent hundreds of hours with it, playing and working. I just think the limitations are starting to grate on my nerves. The main thing I'm dissapointed in concerning the Xoom is the placement of all the connectors is on the bottom (or top) and the headphone jack is on the other top or bottom. I'm not sure if this was deliberate, but I suspect it was a play to sell the different stands that they offer. Charger stand and Speaker stand. And as a Flash developer, I'm waiting for the download to see my priceless flash stuff, but it is still not there yet. The data plans seem a little pricey, but that should probably work itself out with other providers entering the data plan market for android devices. Front camera [general::cameras] and 'HD' video [video quality::video] are awesome. The facing camera is not something I'm used to, but it works fine [reliability::works fine] . I am new to android, so, I'm not always certain what I'm looking at and looking for in the market. It's not clear to me what things are designed for the Xoom and what things are for phones. I am enjoying it so far. And it's kind of refreshing to experience a desktop that's not Windows or Mac (or iOS).

I've got the iPad and iPad2 and was curious how good Google has done with Honeycomb. I am impressed. The main feature I like is that it can run Adobe Flash. Although there aren't many apps for the Xoom, there are so many Flash based apps out there. For example, those PBS educational apps for my kids. They're constantly playing those. Now the iPad2 definitely feels better in the hand and feels lighter and I really like the new case that goes with it. Apple has a much better eco-system (music, movies, apps, etc, all integrated). The Xoom is a very good start though and hopefully soon it'll have a lot more content and the user base is growing rapidly every day. What's great about it:  Supports Flash What's not so great:  Learning curve, not many apps I would recommend this to a friend!

Crappy software and a disappointing display and camera ruin what could be an otherwise fabulous device.

and I think it is one of the best purchases I that I have ever made. It is already beginning to replace my laptop (a mac book pro). I love how it allows me to continue to integrate all my google stuff - email, calendar, docs, etc... Setting up my work email was a snap and I have found all the apps I need in the app store. I bought the 3G model and will eventually need to send it in for the upgrade - that's the only downside.

Device First Impressions: I was the one person who was always saying that tablets are useless [tablets::the * is bad] and I would be better off with a laptop and I believe that still holds true for most cases. When you are someone that will be using document software like Word or Excel constantly then yes a laptop would be better suited for you (especially at the price range of this device). However I was very intrigued by the Xoom and after I played around with it in the store I fell in love with it. I use this primarily for watching YouTube videos, playing games, going online, and occasionally typing a quick email. And that is the beauty of this device, for things like that this is a perfect device [device::device] to have. Now I see the use for tablets that laptops don't fully offer. Yes they are portable, especially net books, but having all of the basic features of a smart phone, without having to squint to see the screen is what I think the market for these products are moving towards. These are not, I will repeat, are not replacements to laptops, but these are an in-between device form the Smartphone to the laptop. Product Pros: First of all you cannot deny that the hardware that Motorola put in this device is nothing less than incredible. Dual core nVida Tegra processor simply says it all. This thing moves fast, and I mean fast. I have had this for 3 days now and I have not noticed one hiccup in speed or performance even when doing the most multitasking on a portable [usability::portable] device I have tried. Second, Honeycomb OS. Some love it, some hate it and at first I did not like the new interface and the new layout but after playing around with the device at the store I started to like it and when I decided to pull the trigger and buy it, the more I play with it, the more I love it [general::i love it] and wish I had it on my Samsung Fascinate. The ease of finding apps, displaying widgets, changing the layout, or even adding apps to home screens seems like easy things to do but with Honeycomb they made it even easier. When you go to add either a widget or app to the screen, it will display all your home screens and you can drag the app/widget to which ever screen you want and done. Third and I think that this will be personal preference but it is heavier than the iPad or any other tablet that I have felt. I like the weight of the device [device::device] because it makes it feel like it's much sturdier and feels more expensive [price::expensive] (which it is). However, it isn't so heavy to the point it is a burden to carry around; that would defeat the purpose, it feels like it is perfect weight [weight::weight] . Fourth, the display [display::display] is simply stunning. Most touch devices today have beautiful screen and [display::have good * and] you can't deny that Apple has some of the best displays out there, but they have fallen behind if you ask me. My Samsung Fascinate has a much brighter and crisper screen than the iPhone 4, but the display on the Xoom... just wow. Watching an HD YouTube video was like I was watching it on a HD TV in my house. I can't wait to try watching an HD video from Amazon or Netflix on this; if it gets better I will post an update. Fifth, free upgrade to 4G LTE network when it becomes available. Details are sketchy right now as to the process but from the VZW rep I purchased from they said it's probable that it will be a firmware upgrade. The more likely situation was from an article I read saying that you will need to ship your Xoom to Motorola, they will replace the receiver, update firmware, and ship it back to you. A pain in the but yes, but hey at least its free to upgrade to 4G. Product Cons: Here is the biggest con of them all... Price. Retailing at $600 (with a new 2 year contract + $35 activation fee) it's no cheap device. The basic data plan (which I have) is $20/month and gives 1GB of data usage per month. The device costs $800 out of contract (but according to VZW you need to activate it with a month-to-month plan and cancel it after first month if you don't want any 3G service) which is a hefty price. Second, no Adobe Flash support... YET. In my opinion, they should have held off on this release until they had Flash support working and possibly even their 4G LTE support but I can see why they didn't wait for 4G. Third and final flaw that I can find is the lack of Tablet [tablets::tablets] supported apps. Yes, the Android Market has a lot of apps, but they have very little support for tablet apps currently. Most apps can be used on either phones or tablets but it would be nice to see a larger selections of apps optimized for tablets (even through the game FruitNinjaHD is addictive). All in all, I believe that this device is a serious competitor to the iPad and gives Apple a run for its money until they 'dazzle' us with their new iPad 2. At that point I still think that they would not be able to beat the customizability of Honeycomb, power of the Tegra Processors, and serious muscle behind it... Google.

I bought this tablet at the Best Buy near my office and paid full price for it with plans to 'hot spot' it to my iPhone. Get great speed for 3G, but I plan on putting it on its own month-to-month plan shortly to take advantage of more features.Previously used the Samsung 7' tablet and was presently suprised about how much better the xoom performed. It is much faster than Samsung and its outdated tablet software. Honeycomb is the best.

Pros: Dual processor [other_attributes::processor] , custom widgets [applications::widgets] & other options, 4G upgradeable, 32GB with 32 GB upgradeable SD card, Flash Support, Google Maps, Video Conferencing, battery. Cons: Very Few Tablet [tablets::tablets] apps available, Not compatible with [f::not compatible with] video Skype, Not compatible with [f::not compatible with] Yahoo Instant Messenger, Quality Video Chat apps very limited. Upgrade availability time frame unknown. Product not complete Summary: I was one of the first people who bought the original Motorola Droid (and still have it) when it first came out. I remember being promised that upgrades and flash support should be available very shortly. Well that turned out to be close to 9 months later. I think I made the same mistake with the Xoom. Yes, the xoom is a good tablet which I am happy with but I again the salesman promised me that 4G would be available shortly. He didn't even mention the fact that the xoom didn't have flash or that the 32 GB SD card slot did not work [reliability::did not work] at the time of purchase. I am sick of waiting for 'the whole package'. I was deceived into thinking that the 4G would be available within a week or 2. I am giving this advice to people about Motorola products: Do not buy an unfinished product until everything is available and do not listen to any promises about when these upgrades will be available because believe me, if there's no info on the internet surely the sales people don't know either. This will become an excellent tablet [tablets::tablets] when and only when it will be complete. Most of the buyers out there are intelligent and that is why Motorola only sold about 100,000 units. When and if they get the 4G look for that number to increase drastically. The tablet apps will surely multiply especially since Toshiba, Samsung, and other manufacturers begin selling more honeycomb tablets. Bottom line: The more people buy unfinished tablets, the more of a wait there's going to be to get the upgrades. Wait until the product is complete before you buy.

Pros: Good browser [web browsing::browser] experience [general::experience] ... to a point Nice screen size [display::screen size] Fast, 'zippy' for scrolling, video, typing, navigation [other_attributes::navigation] Pretty intuitive [usability::intuitive] for a geek to jump right in Cons: Interface [interface::interface] complex [other_attributes::complex] for layman to use Heavy after a few minutes of use in one hand Sharp bezel - did cause uncomfortable grip at times Speakers facing away from user [user quality::user] - lousy sound [audio quality::sounds] in noisy environments Summary: I stopped by a Costco today and the wireless booth had a Xoom on demo so I got my chance to waste about 20 minutes on one. This is about the same amount of time I spent on an Ipad when they came out a year back. So what you get here is my 1st impressions on this device and how I reacted to it based on my preferences... 1st thing I did was to turn it off and restart it. It is not a fast booting process and at times I did wonder if it was even starting up. Since I tend to turn stuff on and off a lot when I am working on the road, I like something quick to come to life. It was OK for booting speed but I expected faster. Then I did some basic navigation, browser use (and keyboard) and that was exactly what I'd expect in a tablet experience. I was going through 3G in this case but things were fast enough to be a satisfying experience. I did run into a few sites with flash that didn't work obviously and tried a few online games as well that failed to load. Even though it is a Chrome browser running on this thing I realized quickly it is the 'android' version, not the one I love and use on my desktop computer. No extension support for example was likely the cause of many things not working as expected in the games side of things. The touchscreen keyboard itself was quick and precise, very natural to use. By this point I had turned the thing portrait, landscape, upside down, etc and it was very responsive to this and kept the screen pointing up very well. I've played with devices that lag when you start doing this a lot but no problem with [reliability::problem with] the Xoom. The one thing I did notice [other_attributes::notice] that was a problem to me was that by now my left arm (which had been mainly holding this thing up while my right hand typed, panned and zoomed) was starting to feel the weight in a very uncomfortable way. Just like the original Ipad, after a while it just starts feeling heavy. This is definitely not a toy to use while standing in line. You want a nice table [other_attributes::tables] in from of you to lean this puppy on. Don't think about sticking it in a pocket either because it is not going to fit in there. My biggest issue though was that depending on how I was holding it, the bezel would feel like it was digging into my hands. It has a very sharp 90 degree cut from the top to the sides (instead of a rounded shape) and that was a little uncomfortable in certain grips because of the weight distribution when holding it one handed. As for the Honeycomb version of Android, I am not an Android user to begin with so I can't compare to previous versions but I did not find it a daunting interface to master. Mind you I am technologically inclined and use all kinds of electronic gadgets so I intuitively found my way around. Some tasks took me a few seconds of 'pecking around' to achieve but there was always an obvious step available to me somewhere on the screen. I do feel though that the average person without as much tech experience might have stumbled around a lot more and felt a little lost trying to get the tablet to do what they wanted. This is where an Ipad does excel in the simplicity of use it offers to the average user. While I consider myself 'potentially' in the market for a tablet, I don't know that it won't be at least one more iteration of tablets in general (so another year) before I really feel that they will be ready for me to jump in. I did the same with Ebook readers, waiting until the technology and the price were right before jumping in. I try not to be an early adopter because I hate having buyer's remorse worst than I hate not having the latest and greatest gadget [other_attributes::gadgets] . It seems this year we are going to have the tablet wars (sort of like the Betamax vs. the VHS or the HDDVD vs. the Bluray days) and there are always casualties when this occurs. I just don't want to be left having made the wrong choice. So in the end, 20 minutes with the Xoom made it clear to me the form factor isn't 'just right' for me even though the specs are right on. Once I get a chance to test out a RIM Playbook and an Ipad2 in the weeks to come I may turn around 180 degrees but right now I don't feel I need to jump on the Xoom bandwagon. Not that it is a bad tablet [tablets::tablets] - it simply left me wanting in a few areas. Zoo

Overall the tablet is nice [tablet::the * is good] . It's fast, the screen [display::screen] looks good, the speakers are loud enough to be heard, the battery life is excellent [battery life::the * is good] . But then we get to the Honeycomb software. This software still needs a bit of work from google. It was not ready for release imo and I think google only pushed it out to beat the IPad 2 to the shelves. With the Xoom being out for nearly 2 months now, they have only released one minor update that supposedly prepared it for flash coming out (which wasn't out at release, showing how much it was rushed). Flash itself runs bad on the system, but this is partially Adobe's fault [reliability::faulting] . Flash is somewhat bloated and not really made for mobile devices, the latest version Adobe released was supposed to be for mobile devices, but it still needs more work. After nearly 2 months, the SD Card slot for additional storage on these is still non functional. Granted the built in storage [other_attributes::storage] is large enough for your average persons needs, but if you start using the camera a lot or putting other pictures / videos on here, you are going to run out of space fast. Web browsing on the device is somewhat annoying. The UserAgent string still says Android in it, so most websites treat it as a mobile browser like a phone browser so you get really small mobile webpages on the nice big 10' screen. There are ways around this if you follow some simple instructions on the web, but you have to set the browser to debug mode every time you start it which is simply annoying. All in all, I'd say wait a few more months before buying this when Google has actually released some updates and gotten the kinks worked out. What's great about it:  Battery,screen,size,processing power What's not so great:  Honeycomb OS needs work No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

I bought it and returned it after 3 days. I was so disappointed that I event didn't bother paying the restocking fee to Verizon. The hardware could not be better. But the software is not yet ready. When I returned it, it had only 16 tablet applications available in the market (iPad had 65000+). Not even a decent note taking app came with the tablet. I understand that the situation will change over time. But why should early adopters pay more and get less? Google needs to polish Android 3.0 before it is ready for general public. Even as a computer science student, I found the UI very very confusing. I will live with iPad even though it has numerous limitations. My suggestion, before buying, please take a test drive at Best buy or Verizon.

Pros: + Tegra2 DualCore processor [other_attributes::processor] make it very fast + 10.1 HD screen [display::screen] beautiful videos [video quality::video] and pictures + Can hook Xoom up to a TV + Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' is amazing + Made from Gorilla Glass - no neeeding screen protector Cons: - Volume [other_attributes::volume] rocker [rocker::rocker] is too flush with the Xoom - Speakers are good [other_attributes::the * is good] , not great Summary: I have been following the Motorola Xoom ever since it was codenamed 'stingray,' so when a date was announced for when I would be able to pick up this beauty of a tablet, I couldn't wait. I won't talk about the Verizon service (which as it stands right now does not compare to my T-Mobile speeds) all I will talk about is the hardware. I've owned two iPads, and the Xoom is head and shoulders above it. First thing's first: it has a Tegra2 DualCore processor which means this thing is blazing fast. The 10.1 HD screen means beautiful videos [video quality::video] and pictures. The micro-HDMI out plug means you can hook your Xoom up to a TV. Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' is amazing (though don't kid yourself, even hardcore Android users will have an adapting period in terms of navigating the device and carrying out tasks) I bought this for 799.99 off-contract, but you can purchase it for 599.99 at Verizon Wireless, with a 2-year contract. Also, (rumored in May) you will be able to send in your Xoom to receive a free hardware upgrade to 4g. You won't pay anything at all, and Verizon has stated you won't have to change your plan in order to access the 4g speeds (assuming your city is LTE-enabled). Flash 10.2 will be available in a few short weeks as will support for microSD cards, so don't let that keep you from purchasing the Xoom. Also, you cannot charge this via USB like you would with your phone. This isn't because Motorola wants to sell you another charger, but rather the max amount of voltage that a USB puts out and how much a micro-USB port can handle. A Xoom will go from 0 to 100 percent battery life in about 3 hours, and that's incredible when you think about the batteries inside (Two 3250 mAH batteries, though it reads as one) The Xoom's screen is made from Gorilla Glass which means you won't be neeeding a screen protector anytime soon (unless you don't like a glassy feel). I've always been paranoid about my phones and other electronics with screens and thus have always put a screen protector on them. Having said that, I HAVE NOT put one on the Xoom, because Gorilla Glass [other_attributes::glasses] is THAT good. Now for the negatives: The volume rocker [rocker::rocker] is too flush with the Xoom, and thus it can be incredibly hard to push the buttons sometimes. You'll have your finger on the volume up or down button and swear you're pressing it, but you're not pressing it in the right spot. The speakers are good [audio quality::the * is good] , not great. All in all, I give the Xoom 5 stars. Sure I could knock off a star for the volume rocker or the lack of flash [flash::flash] and microSD card support on launch, but the fact is that the latter two will be fixed with a software update, and the volume rocker you learn to live with. A lot of people will complain about price and how the iPad is only 500. What you have to remember is that when you take a comparable iPad model the Xoom is only 70.00 more expensive [price::expensive] , and with that 70.00 you get more RAM, a faster processor, bigger screen, microSD support (via software update) thus enabling your storage up to 64GB, Flash (again via software update), and an operating system designed for a tablet. If you don't feel like spending the money, a wi-fi only tablet will be out at some point for 599.99. What's nice about the wi-fi model is that the only thing different from the Verizon model, is the 3g/4g, as opposed to the iPad which takes out the GPS as well if you only buy the wi-fi version. *** P.S.

I want a Honeycomb device [device::device] so bad I can taste it, but when the Xoom finally came out I was heart-broken. Great specs [specs::specs] , ruggedly built, nice battery life, but there are two deal breakers for me: The world of tech toys seems to have agreed on usb power as a universal charging source and most things now seem to use micro-usb as the charging connector. I have a usb power charging adapter in every room I hang out in, in both my cars and in my airplane carry on. Motorola makes you drag around a clunky old one-of-a-kind A/C adapter to charge the Xoom. Deal Breaker #1 - I refused to return to A/C adapter chaos. Paying $100+ for Verizon wireless 3G/4G hardware plus a steep monthly charge makes no sense at all. Deal Breaker #2 Very few people really need this capability built into the tablet.. What I want is a WiFi only Android Honeycomb tablet. If you need Internet access on the road for your tablet or your laptop you can get it from the WiFi feature of your modern smart [other_attributes::smart] phone. Coming out with WiFi only version of the Xoom first would have made way more sense, but requiring the weird A/C adapter charger instead of using micro-usb is just dumb! I am not buying the [general::dont buy this] Xoom!

Too limited in applications; most apps only formated for small screen, not tablet. Application errors occur too frequently causing shut down and forcing reinstallation of apps. Video and images are clear and beautiful however even a Zagg screen protector doesn't cut down on the high glare factor. I recommend sticking with the Ipad.

this is the best android honeycomb tablet out there right now. i already own ipad1, ipad2, and i wanted to play with the android honeycomb. threw down $589. at bestbuy and picked one up. before picking up, i did my homework and read everyones review on bestbuy, amazon, and watched all of the youtube videos. i was definitely interested. heavy compared to ipad2 but a manly heft weight. although buggy and crashes sometimes. if your not so technical person, then get the ipad, because the ipad just works and the app store will fill you with happy, happy, joy, joy. this xoom tablet still needs some polishing and i think by the time ice cream sandwich comes out in Q4 2011, everything should be good and i'm praying the app store for the tablet will grow. at this moment, there only 64 tablet apps. power button is in a very strange location and wish the volume rocker stuck out more. but over all im very happy with [general::very happy with] this tablet [tablets::tablets] and its a keeper for me. What's great about it:  tablet What's not so great:  not enough tablet apps I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm not biased against Apple since I'm writing this on a Macbook Pro that I love and will use as long as it lasts and my Ipod touch generation 4 is a great unit [general::unit] too for many reasons. Apple started things with Ipad but fell behind the times with the Ipad 2. The Ipad 2 is really just an oversized Ipod touch with a couple of more features. The 2 still suffers from the pixelating when loading webpages when scrolling. Granted Ipad 2 has many more apps and that might mean something to me if that is what I desired but I don't. What I wanted was something that is more computer like and Google nailed that with the Honeycomb and once the mini sd card port is active they will have nailed it. My needs in a tablet are: light document and spreadsheet reading and editing. Book reading, internet surfing. Smaller device to upload my pictures from my DSLR temporarily, music storage. The Xoom does everything I need and has done it very well. Setting up was pretty easy. I found putting in my home router wep code was case sensitive a first but didn't take long to figure out. Does take boot time but for what the Xoom does well worth it. When I load flash it was quirky and I thought it didn't load but then when I check my apps it was loaded and is working fine [reliability::works fine] . To navigate this unit [general::unit] was very easy to figure [other_attributes::figure] out. Did I mention the screen [display::screen] is just awesome? Watching videos [other_attributes::watching videos] and looking at pictures [picture quality::photo] have been great and the screen [display::screen] rotation function works about 100% better than my touch. I'm not sure what the issue is here with lesser reviews. As I mentioned I'm a Mac user and will continue to do so but Apple has a long way to go to interest me in their table toy. Future improvements I would say that would make this perfect are a actual USB port that charges the unit and for me that is it. What's great about it:  Very easy to navigate [usability::easy to navigate] , No pixelating , Great screen [display::screen] , solid feel. What's not so great:  Super minor but instant on but well worth the wait! I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought my Xoom the day it came out, tried using it to fulfill my college needs. Had it for a few and returned it. I'm not one of those weird 'fanboys' so you count on my review as non bias, and justified by user experience. There are things that Motorola promised which aren't present right now. Flash support is still disabled, SD is not working, and for those who rooted your Xoom you might as well say goodbye to 4G support which that too isn't even out yet. Adding to my frustration when I browsed through the market there were less than 200 apps specifically optimized for the Xoom meaning when you download a non-tablet optimized app, it won't look nor function right. Even those 200 tablet optimized apps, some of them such as Angry Birds somehow lags momentarily and at times force closes for me. My advice: buy a tablet where you can actually trust the company to deliver not waiver. Ex. LG G Slate, iPad 2, and the upcoming Asus EePad. Avoid Motorola and Samsung What's great about it:  Specs, UI What's not so great:  Barely no apps, poor battery management [other_attributes::battery management] , poor music [audio quality::music] service [customer support::service] , poor media, lags sometimes flipping through home screens No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

Bought a Motorola Xoom tablet on Friday Feb 25th at 9:00 p.m. from Verizon Wireless in Irvine, CA. The email application is very rudimentary. It only loads 25 messages and when I click on load more, it reloads the same emails again. I can't delete it from the server as I would like to have the email on my laptop too. It doesn't have a spam folder. Can't make folders in the email. Can't select the emails in a group to delete etc. I can't watch webinars on the tablet. I can't watch videos on the facebook. I returned the tablet today (Sunday Feb 28th at 1:30 p.m.), less than 48 hours! I was with the tech support of Verizon level 1, then level 2 who transferred me to Motorola Tech Support Level 1, then Motorola Tech Support Level 2.

Xoom is a fantastic tablet [tablets::tablets] device. The very idea that you need a larger iPhone as your tablet that requires you to meld to Apple's software desires is over. Purchase the Xoom and be sure to upgrade to 3.1 as the enhancements and fixes make the platform along with its Flash support, movie viewing all worthwhile. I love this device [device::device] and travel with it everywhere. Application support will continue to improve as daily new apps are being added by the hundreds. I have found almost everything i want. I would like a drawing program that turns this tablet into a 'Wacom' like drawing tablet that interfaces with WebEx and other online conferencing applications. Besides a few odd needs, the tablet wins out hands down for looks and versatility versus the IPAD2 and the requirement to only use whatever iTunes dishes up!

Short and sweet. The best Tablet [tablets::tablets] out by far so far. All the best stats [other_attributes::stats] , connections, power, size, speed, graphics, and OS. Check out the stats for yourself. Compare for yourself the 'apple to oranges' differences. I say oranges because you really cannot compare the 'two' as the xoom will soon be a 'full' web browsing experience and the speed of 4g. Sorry Ipad loyalists, I own one of those too. It is now sitting on my desk, and it sure is pretty, but getting dusty. Xoom is now in the building and has taken over management by storm. Are you a prime member? Well all the movies steaming right on your device. Want more? Plug it HDMI direct to your TV and There you go. There are so many advantages and no real disavatages other than the break away from the polished, but linear universe of the iOS. If you are buying a tablet PC, you can't beat the [general::you can't beat this] Xoom. Not even with all newly announced upcoming tablets from the other companies. Motorola will have the new updates of the honeycomb before the others even get it. You watch. The OS is brilliant [operating system::the * is good] and very well thought out. Efficient and capable is the understatement of the year here. The learning curve is short and the new little ways that you can customize and make it work for you is endless. VERY DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER TABLET OS's. This unit together with Amazon is a bright future indeed. Example: Last night I downloaded a full featured album and watched a free movie from Amazon. (3.99 total) (Yes, out of the courtesy of Amazon's heart the music did also go automatically into my iTunes as well.lol.... BUT WHY.?) I have them in my MP3 folder in which I can listen to, share, burn, move, transfer and use all I want across my phone, car stereo, usb stick, cd, send a song by email and listen with any type of player there is. This is not to mention the Amazon mp3 app for your music [audio quality::music] , AND THE AWESOME NEW AMAZON ANDROID MARKET. (TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!) Amazon you are lighting [other_attributes::lighting] things up and it is awesome!!!!!!!!) C'mon people. Do you not see the writing on the wall. I do. Tablet, Productivity, ease of use, efficiency, convenience, speed, communication, entertainment, lower cost, and the bottom line is, this is the direction that gives us the End Game of More TIME to do what we really want to do.

The hardware itself is an Aluminum back with a rubber/plastic or alum upper back panel [other_attributes::panels] that has a nice feel and makes it easy to gri Cons: The downside to all the nice hardware [hardware::hardware] is the micro SD is not active yet, you will have to ship off your Xoom for a week (so they say) to upgrade it to 4G/LTE and the volume rocker is a bit tough to deal with. After using an iPad 2 for a few days the weigh Summary: As a stand alone product in a world of Android devices the Xoom shine [other_attributes::shine] as a very nice product [general::product] . However that is spoiled when you compare it to the new iPad 2. The iPad 2 has the same dual core CPU, a much faster CPU and thousands of apps already available. The Xoom was hyped up to be the badest SOC (System on a Chip) out there and nothing would touch it's Nvidia based GPU for gaming. Well that lasted about 3 weeks. All that aside the UI still lags a bit, has some force close/lock ups and the screen, which is nice [general::the * is good] for a LCD panel, doesn't hold up well against the iPad's IPS screen. I enjoy the flexibility of the Android OS, but will probably wait until another manufacturer releases a more polished device with all ports and accessories working when they launch it. The added features you can do on Android such as file management, importing directly from your PC (not dealing with iTunes) and the variety of customization is very appealing to me, but I need apps that work and are available for the Android tablets. I enjoyed my few weeks with the Xoom but honestly felt the non technical person will struggle a bit as the app selection is very limited [f::the * is very limited] and if they have not read enough about the product they will assume it's broken with no SD card support, no USB HDD support and the occasional lock ups/reboots that seemed to crop up in just the two weeks I owned the Xoom. The entire package needs a more friendly, polished approach to reach the masses.

First of all I love my Xoom; first was thinking of buying a new laptop and found this less expensive on the front end and fulfilled my needs for portability. Here's my quandary now. I didn't wait for the Wifi only because I yielded to a $499 price and no activation fees at our Verizon store; however, I am paying a $20.00 per month for 1gb of data. I still have a few days left on the 14 day trial. I am thinking about taking it back and getting the wifi only. I was paying 9.99 for 25 MB of data on my Verizon phone which I dropped to save at least that amount per month. What do you all think of my reasoning?

The iPad2 shows a lot of improvements to the first one, but it does not have the thing that me as a tech-guy wants/needs. I want openness.

It allows for developer modifications and the ability to personalize it a lot more without paying out the *** to do. It really allows me to be ME; to show my style and personality. The resolution is fantastic [display::the * is good] on the XOOM, and the usability is very responsive [operating system::responsive] and easy to use [usability::easy to use] . From top to bottom it's a very stable machine. In comparison to the weight issue that people bring up, it is not much of a difference to the iPad, Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1), or the blackbery tablet. My only concern is with the lack of programs [applications::programs] that are compatible with honeycomb 3.0. With any OS update there are going to be compatibility issues and developers are going to need to catch up soon. Other than that, the Xoom is INCREDIBLE [general::the * is good] . Extremely responsive and the speech-to-text feature is beyond accurate. It even recognizes my mother's commands (she has a heavy spanish accent). I would recommend it to most. I would also suggest to get the non-contract edition.

Honeycomb is the software made by Android for their tablets. The Xoom is the hardware made by Motorola that houses Honeycomb os system. When they both unveiled on february of this year, people were underwelmed with the Xoom because of HONEYCOMB! Because of that memory, people like to say the Xoom is not a good device [device::device] or worst than other Honeycomb devices. Well that's just not true! Asus, Iconia, Galaxy tab 10.1 all run the exact same HONEYCOMB, but only the Xoom is taking the heat because it's engraved in peoples memory all because it came out FIRST. I took my Xoom back to get the Galaxy tab 10.1 but for one reason and one reason only, the Xoom is extremely heavy for tablet use. That's is the only valid argument against the Xoom. If it was as thin as lightweight as the tab i'd keep it. As far as other devices they all weigh the same as the Xoom so i just don't think it's fair to be dubbed a terrible device [device::device] if it's the same system as others and to date, no company has it's own custom ui over honeycomb :)

of release, I've waited a while to post a review to really understand how I use it and how it compares to the Ipad, which I also own. The Xoom is a great consumption device. Reading books, magazines, listening to music, web surfing, apps, are all a great experience [general::experience] on the Xoom. I am amazed at how much I utilize the device in my every day life. From note taking to checking my calender and email, or just surfing the web, the Xoom is a central part of my every day digital existence.A lot of what's great about the Xoom is wrapped in the Android Honeycomb operating system. I could write for many paragraphs about the virtues and pitfalls of Honeycomb, so I will make this review more about the device itself.The Xoom is solidly built. It's contstruction is a mix of plastic and glass that's solid to hold and just feels good. It's size is comfortable [usability::comfortable] in both hands, although the weight is considerable enough that you will utilize the Motorola standing case frequently. The Xoom has a great feature set [feature set::feature set] on paper that translates to the actual device quite well. The 4G and SD card slot being disabled are certainly cons of the device. Being a user that doesn't need 4G and not having enough data on the device to need the SD slot it hasn't been that inconvenient, but it's still not cool.Most of the design features of the Xoom are thought out. One area where it's not are the speakers, placed in the back of the device the sound moves away from the user with use. This basically means you will be cranking up the volume to hear your sound or you will be cupping the speakers with your hand to reflect the audio towards your ears. Either way.. not a good look. The power buttons and volume controls are more than sufficiently placed. From what I understand the glass is Gorilla glass, which is supposed to be really strong (Youtube Gorilla Glass Demo). I can vouch for this by saying I've dropped the Xoom on 1 occassion and the glass didn't break or crack.Comparing the Xoom the Ipad 2, the Ipad is much thinner and lighter. The screen is also quite a bit brighter when held next to the Xoom. From a device standpoint I can't help but think the Ipad 2 is superior in almost every way. That said, my Xoom is the go to device almost every time for my use.In summation, you select the Xoom primarily because of the operating system and if you are going with Honeycomb, the Xoom is the best product [general::product] on the market to run it (probably not for long tho). If you are debating Xoom(Honeycomb) vs. Ipad and you don't know why you'd want a Xoom already I think the Ipad and Apple is the way to go for you. For the tech heads that know Honeycomb is for them, Xoom is a great device [device::device] to get the Honeycomb experience.

I bought this tablet as a gift for my mother. She loves playing [playing::plays] internet games like scrabble and bingo from sites like Pogo Free Games. Playing simple online games should not have been a problem. But it was.

The Xoom has some oustanding pros to it but one huge drawback. The video playback is absolutely terrible [video quality::the * is very bad] . Regardless of the format, codec, etc. used on the movie files saved to the device, and no matter what app or program used for playback [other_attributes::playback] , the quality is the same, which is POOR [general::the * is bad] to say the least. Motorola boasts full 1080P playback support, and while you might get 1080P for the frames it does display, 1 to 2 frames per second ( and I'm not exaggerating) does not make for a pleasurable viewing experience. Even when downgrading the quality of the video file to give the device something less graphics intensive, the playback experience is the same. I have found nothing that will give even close to an acceptable playback experience for video on the device memory.Now the Xoom and Honeycomb are both brand new and there is sure to be plenty of tweaking to it before it gets close to right and being a finished product, so in time I am hopeful that drastic improvements will be made to improve this nearly essential part of the device (to me at least).Video playback [video quality::video playback] via streaming [stream::stream] is fine and above acceptable, browsing though the main screens, use of apps, the internet browsing experience are all an above average experience. There are also very solid speakers on the device (though placed awkwardly enough on the back). In my opinion the battery life [battery life::battery life] is phenomenal, requiring a recharge about every 2 to 3 days when used off and on for about 8 hours a day. If I could enjoy a decent experience with video however, that might change.All in all I have faith (could be blind) that Motorola and Google will continue to work out the kinks and improve the experience [general::experience] that the Xoom will offer. As for now, it is mostly a polished product with a few rough, unfinished edges, and one glaring hole in the video playback area.

The Xoom will never make it. They had a head start and botched the launch. Had they released the xoom wifi alongside the 3g Xoom I would have happily snatched one up. I am actually glad they waited until 3/27/11 to launch it. It has allowed me to see how inferior their product [general::product] is. Mark my words - this thing will see a huge price drop - and soon. It is so overpriced [price::overpriced] compared to whats coming out on the market If you have no loyalties to a tablet - check out the Ipad 2 - it is much thinner and lighter and feels great in your hands. It is also - shockingly cheaper. Unless you are using this thing as a jukebox 16gb will hold all your apps nicely. If you are an android fan - like me. Wait for the Samsung galaxy 10.1 it will be thinner than the ipad 2 and lighter. It will blow this relic out of the water. It is amazing but this thing basically was out of date before it came out. In January it was the queen of the ball and yet now it seems so outdated when compared to the Ipad 2 and the coming galaxy tablets. Save your money and buy an ipad 2 or wait and get the galaxy 10.1 What's great about it:  It runs honeycomb What's not so great:  It is heavy/thick when compared to other coming tablets. Price.

I purchaced this product about a week and a half ago. I can't say that I have enjoyed every minute of it, but it is fun to mess around on. The battry life on it is fairly standard for a device like this. When being used heavily you will get about half a day's use out of it. On average I am able to use it for about 2 days. The screen size is very large. While the resolution is amazing [display::the * is good] , this factor combined with the weight of the unit makes it hard for one handed use. The biggest drawback to this otherwise stunning product [general::product] is the fact that google sems to have gotten ahead of itself. Honeycomb is not compatible [f::is not compatible] with very many of the programs available on the market. Now when I say not compatible I mean that it just runs most of them using a small fraction of the screen, if it doesn't force close on you. Again this is a great product [general::product] , you just have to be patient with it. I'm sure that given a month or two, it will all be sorted out.

First of all I want to say that I own both Apple and Google/Android devices. I own iPod Touch and have played with iPad of family member who own the device. I also played with iPad 2 quite a bit at the store as well as from a friend who got it on launch day. I currently own original Motorola Droid and looking to upgrade to newer Android phone this summer. It is difficult not to compare Xoom to its competitor aka iPad 2. Therefore, this review will entail Xoom features (Wifi version) along with comparison to iPad 2. Operating System - An iPad is more akin to a smartphone where as a Xoom is more akin to a laptop. Honeycomb feels more like a tablet. It's not just a row of apps and wasted space like iOS. Plus, you have room for customization (widget, live wallpaper, theme etc). There is also little detail that tech savvy will appreciate (outline grid, advanced settings, google labs etc) Honeycomb is still a bit buggy but not to the point that it becomes annoying. I only have several force closes for 5 hours straight use. Obviously iOS which is a proven OS and was out almost 4 years ago is more stable than the Honeycomb, a brand new OS (optimized for tablet use) that was out a month ago along with its SDK. Google know Honeycomb still needs improvement, I know Honeycomb is unfinished and I don't mind waiting for even better experience. Winner: To each his own but I like Honeycomb better. Design/Apperance/Screen - Xoom is heavier but that is due to a solid build quality which I love. It is also thicker and has wider screen (more appropriate for movies than iPad 2). Although Xoom has higher screen resolution, iPad 2 still has brighter screen and more vivid look. Winner: iPad 2 by little bit User Interface - Some people say Honeycomb is too complicated to use. Well maybe to those who has been using only iPad. For someone who use both, I have to say it is pretty simple to use. iOS is more intuitive and foolproof but there is much more detail on Xoom that many people may appreciate. Winner: Tie Multitasking - One button and it takes you to most 5 recent apps for easy switching on Xoom. iPad 2 sort of have multitasking but not a true multitasking experience. Winner: Xoom Browser - If you use Chrome browser before, it is pretty much like that on Xoom. I prefer tabbed browsing over having to press button to open various windows on Safari. You can type search directly on address bar like Chrome. You can sync bookmarks through your Google account. And yes I know there are other browser apps in the market. But for a stock browser app, Xoom has a better experience. Winner: Xoom Apps - iPad is way ahead in term of apps and it is because original iPad had at least 1 year head start vs Xoom. Not to mention Honeycomb is unfinished and SDK was recently released. However, the tablet apps that are available on Android market (about 50 apps), Most of them work [reliability::works] great and look awesome. Give it time. Winner: iPad 2 Customization [other_attributes::customization] - This is my favorite part about Android. You have open customization from themes, widgets to customized home screen and live wallpapers. iOS has none of that unless you jailbreak the device. Winner: Xoom Notification - If you have iPhone and iPad, you know how notification can be quite painful. Xoom has better notification system that show up briefly in bottom right corner. You can press it to view all notifications. There is also LED notification on top right of the device. Winner: Xoom Performance - A5 vs Tegra 2 is still up for debate. Xoom seems to be as powerful as iPad 2 with exception of GPU (can be seen with gaming and screen brightness). iPad 2 has 512MB RAM vs 1 GB RAM on Xoom. Winner: ??? Camera/Video/Audio - Better camera and video on Xoom thanks to its higher spec vs VGA front and lower MP back camera on iPad 2. Camera app gets a little bit of time to get used to on Xoom. Speaker on Xoom is pretty good but I wish the volume rocker is more visible on the side. It feels like the button can become stuck into the device. Winner: Xoom Flash - Yes, Flash is still in beta mode but it works great [reliability::it works great] for me so far with a little bit of lagging but barely noticeable. I tested it on sites that use Flash like Engadget (video), Honda (car animation), Vice Versa restaurant in NYC (heavy flash site), Myspace and bandcamp (with music player on artist page). iOS has no Flash AT ALL as we all know. Winner: Xoom by a mile (until HTML5 is fully functional) GPS - Just want to mention that GPS and full Google maps navigation is available on Xoom wifi. While on iPad 2, it is only available if you get 3G+wifi version. And if you use Google maps app before on Android you know that it is more extensive than map on iOS (turn-by-turn voice navigation, layers etc) Winner: Xoom Battery Life - Xoom gets about 8 - 9 hours for heavy multitasking usage. Will have to test standby time but I expect it to be less than iPad 2. iPad 2 gets at least 10 hours of heavy usage. Winner: iPad 2 In the end, you may prefer one device over the other and it is to each his own. However, based on the overall factors I mentioned above, I prefer Xoom. What's great about it:  Honeycomb OS (feel like a true tablet), Processor speed, Customization, Tabbed browser [web browsing::browser] , Decent Camera [general::cameras] , Notification What's not so great:  Still a bit buggy, Volume rocker, Only about 50 tablet apps (but most of them are great) I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been waiting a long time for a decent android tablet. With the Xoom, I finally have one. It's got a few hick-ups, and other than Verizon's egregious data plans, there's nothing that can't/won't be fixed in the future. This tablet is nice [tablet::the * is good] and fast, the only lag I've seen from it was when I put a ton of animated widgets on one screen and even then it just made the interface a bit choppy. It's got plenty of memory to keep a good number of apps running in the background and with 32 GB of flash, you won't be running out of space anytime soon, even without using the SD card slot. Android 3.0 is really pretty and seems to have resolved a handful of the issues [reliability::has * issues] I've had with android in the past with it being a really drab, clunky interface. It's far easier to switch between tasks, get to my homescreen and configure quickly than my iphone, so I'd imagine the same would go in comparison to the ipad. Now for the downsides, which are all temporary except for one. First, there's no real flash support yet, but it's coming. Second, no one really knows how much of a headache the 4G upgrade is going to be, but I have a feeling it'll be worth it for the extra speed boost. Third, there's a huge lack of optimized apps for it on the marketplace (like 20 or so). A lot of the un-optimized apps run fine, but some have graphics issues [reliability::has * issues] and others crash [reliability::crash] period. Android 3.0 is brand new and this is the first and only tablet with it, so these issues will likely be addressed with time. Fourth, the SD card slot is useless right now, but a software update should make it useable. I'm not too nuts about having to eject the SIM card to get to the SD Card slot but I figure you won't have much of a reason to remove either once you get them inside the tablet. The only thing that can't be fixed on this tablet is Verizon's awful tablet [tablets::tablets] internet pricing. $20 for 1GB, $35 for 3GB, $50 for 5GB and $80 for a paltry 10GB, with at least a $10 a GB penalty for going over. I suppose it's better than what AT&T is offering, but would it kill to give tablet users [user quality::user] a reasonably priced [price::reasonably priced] unlimited data plan? How about ANY kind of unlimited data plan? This tablet eats through data like no tomorrow and just playing around with it on my breaks at work saw me going through almost 300 MB in 2 days, I can't imagine how bad it could be with 4G, especially if you're streaming video. Be prepared to do your app purchases and heavy lifting on Wifi and using 3G only for rationed web browsing and email. Interesting fact: I was considering getting a Verizon 4G modem and just browsing the web on my laptop when out of Wifi range. The minimum monthly plan on Verizon's modem is $50 a month with a $100 purchase. Add that up, you get $1300 paid out over the 2 year contract. With this tablet on the $20 1GB plan, you get the same thing for $1080 ($220 less), if you do the 3GB data plan, only $1440 ($140 more) and you get to keep the tablet regardless. You might get the 5GB data plan with the modem, but if you're not using 5GB for data, it's a better value to get the tablet as you can always use it as a Wifi hotspot and use your laptop anyway.

be nice if Verizon would push out 4G and unlock memory slot. Really needs more business related apps to be a real business tool. Wouldn't buy anymore for our employees until more apps!!

Just bought the WiFi version of the Xoom tablet and it is great [general::the * is good] ! It has a very fast processor and it is very customizable. It seems to be no limit to what you can do to the platform. If you have an Android phone this will be an easy transition for you. Here is what I discovered from using this tablet: PROS 1. The Honeycomb OS is very similar to my Android phone. 2. The Tegra2 processor lives up to its expectations, very fast and handles multiple applications with ease. 3. The 5mp camera takes good quality pictures [picture quality::quality image] and has a bright LED flash. 4. The video is decent [other_attributes::the * is good] quality as well 5. FLASH!!! It handles Flash Websites very well. 6. Customizable - You can add almost any kind of widget and organize it the way you want on your desktop. 7. Remembers my apps - The Android Market remembered all the apps I downloaded on my phone and let me easily see the ones that were compatible with the Honeycomb OS. 8. HDMI is awesome - Was able to easily hook my HDMI cord that I use for my Motorola DroidX to hook the tablet to my flat screen TV. I was able to hear the audio and see the video really clearly on my TV from my tablet. 9. Speaker Volume [other_attributes::speaker volume] - Very good quality sound [other_attributes::quality sound] , loud. 10. Screen Resolution - Very good quality but I will admit the Ipad handles color [color quality::colors] better than the Xoom. CONS 1. Not many apps work with it yet - Since it is a new OS they dont have a lot of apps to use with it but they do have most of the common apps that you would use on a day to day basis. I am pretty sure that more apps will be on the way shortly but it is a brand new OS... 2. OS is buggy - Not really that many problems but I did notice that some apps that I downloaded had to Force Close on their own. Again this is due to them not having many apps for the Honeycomb OS. Most of my apps work but simple apps like the Flashlight app I use kept crashing so I just had to search for a new flashlight app that didnt crash [reliability::crash] . overall its not really to the point where its annoying but mostly fully functional. 3. Charging Cord - The charger cord for this is just silly. Its like this little pinhole cord [other_attributes::cord] that is very easy to break. I recommend if you do get this tablet get the dock charger. PS, they will not let you use your Droid phone charging cord to charge the tablet for some reason they block it. 4. Weight - It is slightly heavier than the iPad but that is partly due to the robust hardware they have running in this tablet. Me and the other tech guys in the office did a light weight benchmark test against the iPad and Xoom takes it hands down. The screen is bigger, its faster, better camera resolution, audio is louder, you can customize it, it has an SD slot for more memory (so you dont have to buy a bigger version for more memory just an SD card) and it has FLASH. So that I dont sound to Pro Android I will say that I own a ipod touch and an older ipod. I will say that if you are a user that doesn't like to think too much and has everything laid out for you then iPad is for you, but if you are a user that likes to create, customize, likes a quality product, do not like being forced to use iTunes, and have some basic technical skills then this is the tablet for you. Me personally, not having Flash on the iPad just killed it for me because 90% of the Websites out there that most people look at use Flash and most of my time spent on this tablet will be surfing the Web... I don't care if the price is better, it still has to do the basic functionalities for me such as being able to view Websites... You pay for what you get.... Way to go Steve Jobs... What's great about it:  Fast, FLASH, Customizable, Thin, big Screen What's not so great:  The charging cord [other_attributes::cord] looks easy to break, the OS is still slightly buggy but not annoying, need more Honeycomb apps I would recommend this to a friend!

Most people that don't want to buy this is because of price. I'll agree with you that it is very expensive [price::expensive] . For those that are debating between an iPad and an Android tablet, it will all come down to prefference. Can you watch movies on both? Absolutely. Can you work on spread sheets, word documents, edit photos, edit movies, and browse the web? Of course. E-mail? Done. PDAs and Tablets are very close to being one in the same. Eventually we will merge the two together, and no longer use laptops either. One device, to make calls (think Bluetooth headsets), messages, browsing the web, and organizing our lives. I think this Xoom is the first step. I've had it since day one and my only complaint is that Motorola has yet to announce when the 4g upgrade will be available. I've used LTE in many cities and I'm excited to really put this tablet to the test on 4g. As far as what you can do with it, just remember iPad/Xoom there are a lot of apps to add functionality that it doesn't come with in box. You'll pay roughly 15 dollars for either device to have a full office suite. Relatively low costs for all other options. The battery life is variable. It completely depends on what you're doing. I've noticed that if my brightness is above half, my battery life is cut in half. Roughly looking at 2-3 hours on the highest brightness setting with 3g and/or Wifi data use. Remember that an average laptop gets about the same battery life. I've taken the first step to not buy a new laptop every year and try to make it a tablet only life. I've learned that things that I thought I'd miss from my laptops wouldn't be really missed at all. Take it from me, it is a big investment, but you may actually find yourself loving an all-in-one media center, organizer, and browser in one. Games, movies, etc... Pros- Beautiful screen [display::screen] Easy to sync [syncing::syncing] all forms of data Flash support Battery life 4g (not yet available) No computer needed for set up/sync/back up Cons- Cost 4g (not yet available) Weight* (slightly heavier than iPad)

This is a very attractive-looking, overpriced [price::overpriced] piece of junk [general::piece of junk] . My wife bought this to use as an extra, 'handy [usability::handy] ' wireless [wireless::wireless] browser to keep around the house or take on the road. It looks extremely cool, but it is completely unusable [general::, * is very bad] . It is slow, difficult to hold and interact with. We've had it a couple of days and I've not yet been succesful at using it to do anything useful on the internet. Right out of the box, the tablet has behaved in an unstable fashion. It becomes unresponsive [usability::unresponsive] , and has already required one forced reboot. But most of the time the unit will spontaneously reboot itself, even when you are not interacting with it. It reboots so often, it is almost impossible to actually get to any web page before the device locks up, reboots, and puts you back to your home screen. As an example of how quirky the Xoom behaves, it took one and a half hours to get the device connected to my home WiFi and linked with my Google mail, because I could not complete this simple sequence without the device resetting itself around a half dozen times during the process. If you need a mobile browser, this is not the solution. Look elsewhere. Mine is going straight back Motorola!

I got my Xoom on Launch Day and while some of the apps had their minor glitches, they stopped freezing and started to work swimmingly the first weekend. The display is amazing [display::the * is good] , so much nicer that anything on the market. It is a little heavy but you can hold it in one hand and your arm doesnt get too tired because the weight is distributed across the device [device::device] very nicely. It also feels like it was built to last and I love holding it in my hands. It is designed for landscape view and thats the best way to do anything on it. I can't wait for flash, LTE and the sd update, once that hits, this device will be even better. Oh, and the battery lasted for days with occasional use. When I say occasional use I mean using it throughout the day, quickly checking things like email and playing a game or video chatting every once in a while. Truly an upgrade on the battery life from traditional smartphones/tablets, I want one for my Droid X! Watch a movie on this bad boy and you will never want to watch it on anything else!!!

At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint. What's great about it:  Android OS What's not so great:  Less than sexy screen and missing advertised features No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

Pros: 1:Fast (compared to iPad) 2:Gorilla glass [other_attributes::glasses] is a good thing 3:POTENTIAL for better things Cons: 1:No microSD card [card::card] use yet 2:Will NOT play .mp4 videos if not 'encoded' in what Android recognizes Summary: I like my Xoom, so does my kid...the piano app free from market place is a good thing. It is so-so (in my picture on things) because I am a perfectionist. I want it to 'just work' without having to download this and wait for that. Probably why after starting with Apple back when it first came out then going to Windows 1.0 until last year I switched back to Apple (macbook pro) because it 'JUST WORKS'. I got a android phone (metroPCS Indulge - rooted) and wanted a Android tablet. Read all about the Xoom and wanted a wi-fi only one. The day it came out I went to Costco and got one. It seemed pretty good. But as time as gone on now I want to play .mp4 videos that do NOT come from YouTube it just won't. I play them on my MBP or iMac no problems. Been reading reviews about the limits of the Tegra chipset. So it's better than the iPad 2, so much better than a iPad (got one for 1 day, tried it, did not like it returned it and BestBuy charged 15% restock fee - THIEVES!). It is a good tablet but it's just not (in my opinion) 100% end all be all tablet. Oh, and never get into a contract for 3G/4G service with any carrier when you can root a phone and tether to it. Tethering the Xoom took a little while but I get 4G LTE now on it when tethered to my NO CONTRACT phone. So on occasion when I am out with it I will tether it for lite reading but the size is not something you put in a jacket pocket. All in all tablets, whether it's the Xoom or iPad 2 or any other it's 'just not there' as a laptop or desktop replacement. Maybe in 2-3 YEARS they may come close but for now, it's (tablets) are more a expensive [price::expensive] techie toy for use around the house. That's my opinion on the Xoom (and others).

I have an iPad1 and recently got a hands-on with Motorola XOOM. Overall I would summarize it as. My feedback: XOOM is a good piece of hardware, but Honey Comb needs further refinement and better app support. Till then, Apple Devices will retain the stronghold in the market... My 2 cents. ADVANTAGE: XOOM (Vs. iPad-1) ----------------------------- - App Load time: In a side by side comparison, XOOM performed same or better than iPad-1. Need to check iPad2. - YouTube: Quality at par on XOOM (same 1080p clips played on same network). YouTube tends to have buffering issues on iPad, but works better on XOOM. - Expected Flash Support (yet to be enabled). - External SD Card (yet to be enabled). Not a big deal. Bulk of content is played these days from cloud. Apple's minimalist approach [other_attributes::approach] is good, in my personal view. - Included HDMI out (micro-HDMI). iOS4.3 is getting display clone as well (extra $40 HDMI adapter though). - Higher Panel PPI Vs. iPad-1 and iPad-2. ADVANTAGE: iPad-1 over XOOM --------------------------- - Starting price: $500 (iPad) Vs. $800 (XOOM). But depending on the model, the price difference may not be significant, e.g., iPad 32GB+3G: 729$ Vs. 800$ XOOM. I expect XOOM prices to drop in next 2-3 months. - Application Support: Number of apps, neatness of apps. - Seamless interface among Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple-TV). On XOOM, you can wireless stream audio through Bluetooth. - XOOM (HC) often directs to full version of websites, that leads to less than optimum user experience. Apple has done an awesome job working [reliability::works] with content providers to get pages optimized for the Apple Devices. - No Netflix on XOOM/HC yet. Hopefully this will get fixed soon. - Native Email client support on iPad is far better than HC/XOOM. Gmail/Yahoo/Microsoft Exchange. - XOOM Video output [other_attributes::video output] on HDMI is poor. Compared to iPad routed to HDMI TV through Apple TV. Can also test HDMI Digital AV Adapter ($40 accessory) - Screen Rotation: XOOM less smooth than iPad. Does a little bit of screen adjustment at the end - not completely animated/smooth as iPad. - Ability to arrange app icons in folders makes the iPad experience much easier. - Coolness of iPad Vs. Little cheap device feeling on XOOM. - Personally, I feel iPad 4:3 aspect ratio (10x7) screen [display::screen] looks better than 16:10 aspect ratio on XOOM (12x8). - Power on from shutdown: XOOM takes much longer than iPad. Power-on to shutdown is slower on XOOM as well - debatable if this is very relevant. At par (XOOM and iPad): ----------------------- - Touch Experience: Touch experience (pinch, zoom-in/out) is smooth and very similar to iPad. - The video quality on LVDS panel is at par with iPad. Same 1080p video clip played side by side on both devices. <END>

I own an iPad and like it - but the lack of Flash [flash::flash] and the 'closed' iTunes irritates me to no end, so have been waiting for a decent Android tablet that isn't a glorified mobile phone. Xoom is a nice tablet [tablets::tablets] . Feels a bit heavy, although supposedly same weight as the iPad. Screen [display::screen] is nice and despite not being as bright as the iPad, is more than acceptable [other_attributes::acceptable] - the bright setting is way too bright and the auto dim feature is quite good. Very solid feel. Cameras work, but I can't ever see myself using them. Haven't tested the 3G as all I plan to use it is for WiFi - and WiFi works flawlessly [reliability::works flawlessly] - saw my network immediately [other_attributes::immediately] with excellent d/l speeds. Honeycomb Android OS [operating system::os] is nice - much better than iOS IF you have the slightest inclination to have control over your own device - if that's too much, stick to Apple - you're in a cradle-to-grave environment set up for the lowest common denominator intellect (and that my friends, is pretty low). Chrome [other_attributes::chrome] 's tablet [tablets::tablets] optimized browser [web browsing::browser] is very nice - tabbed [tabs::tabs] browsing and well integrated that feels much more like a desktop experience than iPads weak Safari browser. The nice browser [web browsing::browser] experience is one of the most appealing features of the tablet. Gmail is easy to use [usability::easy to use] , if only offering the typically basic features one expects - but better than previous mobile phone versions. Anyone suggesting Apple's email is better is nothing more than a complete charlatan/poseur/fanboy. Took an hour or so to learn all the features (should have read the small manual), but now use them like I've always used them. Reasonably intuitive [usability::intuitive] . A week later and using the Xoom is seamless. Only limited apps at the moment [other_attributes::moments] - fine with me - I don't use many apps - email/browsing/music is 95% of my use - without the Bluetooth keyboard, can't see this (or any tablet) as viable replacement for a laptop as the onscreen keyboard [keyboard::keyboard] is too difficult to use (although perfectly acceptable for basic email/web browsing). If silly/pointless/useless apps are what you like - forget the Xoom. One irritant is some websites see Xoom as a phone and load the mobile versions of their content. There is a simple work around to force 'most' websites to load as 'full' versions - do a bit of googling on the various Xoom discussion boards and you'll find them - Android Forums has a few links on how to do it. Takes a few keystrokes and 15 seconds to fix - surely someone will make an app that does this, or Motorola will update the software. I like the Xoom as it is fast - very little difference btw my higher-end desk top and this for basic apps (email/browsing/pdf reading etc) - obviously it can't compete with cpu-intensive apps, but nobody should expect a tablet to do that - at least not yet. The only time I found it bogs down is if you load a half dozen pages at once - something I never do but did it for giggles. I give the Xoom a solid 4.5/5 (upping my rating half a point as I've seen what the so-called competition (iP2) is offering. However, the current lack of Flash is annoying [general::the * is bad] (a software [operating system::software] download is promised in the next few weeks from Adobe). Plus the lack of 4G hardware (has to be shipped to Moto to get installed) and a few quirks (like surprising weak speakers [audio quality::speakers] from a company like Motorola is strange). The power button [other_attributes::power button] is also poorly placed - the iPad is more intuitive [usability::intuitive] . That said, after a while, you don't really think about it. The volume buttons [other_attributes::volume buttons] are too small - why not an onscreen volume control using touch? Doesn't make much sense to me why neither the Xoom nor iPad have touch volume controls. I'd have preferred a full size HDMI port, but not a deal breaker - can use to connect to TV with good results [other_attributes::results] . Haven't played video to my TV yet (just photos). By comparison, I'd give the iPad a 3. I am very interested what Apple will deliver with the iPad2, but I doubt it will overtake Xoom's hardware/software lead - probably take iPad3 to do that (and a few days after the iP2 launch, that's clear - iP2 isn't up to par with the Xoom - lacks features, smaller screen, is still slower). Of course, the app selection for the iPad is significantly bigger, although the vast majority of them are pure junk anyway, so who cares (other than fanboys to use as a silly talking point to defend an inferior product [general::product] )? As more Android tablets are released as the year progresses, I'm sure Android will offer just as many useful apps as I suspect Android will likely dominate the market in tablets in the next few years (as it now does phones and just as PCs dominate the Mac). I have no problem [reliability::had no problems] recommending the Xoom. But with the imminent release of iPad2 and a slew of other Android tablets, I suspect prices will fall significantly in the last half of the year (edit: perhaps they merely stabilize as new features are added). I suspect $600 will be the high end with many of the lesser tablets forced to the $300-$400 range. That said, ~$800 for me isn't a big deal, so I picked one up and happy I did. The iPad is now just gathering dust and I'll likely be selling it on Amazon (argh - waited too long - now the market is flooded with people trying to get a tablet that comes close to competing with the Xoom)

This is a very nice device, very solid but on the heavy side. Def reccomend protective accessories. The display [display::display] is very vivid, and it is very easy to use [usability::easy to use] . That battery life lasts about a day... not to bad for an android device. A few things that are irritating is that there is no flash player installed (comming soon), and it is not 4G. From what i understand you have to send it in to the manufacturer to update it to 4G. Another issue is that many of the apps, even the few pre-installed ones, frequently force close.

As an 'early adopter' I like to get my hands on new gadgets as soon as they come out. I got an iPad last spring, the original Moto Droid the day it came out and so on. I was tempted to buy the Xoom on the 24th but the allure of the iPad 2 is strong. I decided to wait and see what the iPad 2 has before making up my mind. I did go down [reliability::go down] to Best Buy and handle the Xoom to get a feel for the device. The general consensus on the Android devices that have been released so far is that they are all crap. I have used the Samsung Tab and thought it needed a lot of work. I liked the Xoom because it does what no other tablet has done, make me forget about my iPad!! This thing is smoking fast and was a real delight to use. Motorola has put together a quality device that is a pleasure to use. Web browsing, picture taking, and other activities were a pleasure on the Xoom. Only cons I found are pretty much known. Very few full screen apps, a little trickier to use, and very few accessories available right now.

Don't get caught up in the I pad 2 hype. I almost did, but after spending a couple of hours at the Verizon store, the Xoom won hands down. Be sure to go with the 2 yr Verizon contract - the Xoom is $200 less than the 700 that the pro-iPad people keep saying to encourage I pad sales. The Xoom integrates beautifully with all your gmail, I Google, and contacts. I played Angry Birds for 45 minutes with barely a battery loss. The controls are placed well for volume and power. Tabbed browsing is a real plus. Screen [display::screen] is beautiful.does a good job with videos [video quality::video] . Get the dock and you can stand it up and take videos of yourself with friends.

This is the first tablet I've owned, but I have played on the iPad to test it out before I decided to ultimately purchase the Xoom. Sure there aren't as many apps as maybe there are for the iPad, but that hasn't yet been a problem for me. Most everything I've wanted app wise has been available. And of course new stuff is always coming out. People have complained about not being able to watch TV but I found an app that works [reliability::works] great. There are over 500 shows and I've never had a problem [reliability::have a problem] with it loading [other_attributes::loading] . And I've heard that hopefully Netflix app will come soon?!?! This tablet does everything I wanted (and more) and so far, I have been very pleased. I'm not necessarily an Apple hater, but have had issues [reliability::has * issues] starting with the iPod and buying music on iTunes so the proprietary stuff was one reason to sway me to the Xoom. Don't get me wrong, the iPad is awesome, but I've just been very happy with [general::very happy with] my Xoom so far. I would recommend this to a friend!

If you need a tablet right now and can't wait a few months for the speed and power of a 4G network go ahead. It is probably the best 3G device that will ever be made. Don't dive in too fast though as there isn't an unlimited data plan in sight. If you want unlimited data the Droid X is the largest screen you can have.

it all the time... from searching the internet on the go, playing games, managing my life in the calendar, or editing PowerPoints for work, the Xoom has effectively replaced my laptop as the true 'love of my life'. It is just as stylish as the iPad, but feels like so much more of a productivity tool. The interface is fully customizable, and while not generally a fan of 'Widgets' I do like having email, calendar, and web buttons all upfront. Has a tough cover available for protection, and syncs easily with my computer. Extra long battery life keeps me untethered for longer. This thing ROCKS!

Motorola XOOM Android Tablet (Verizon Wireless) Purchased my Xoom with a Verizon Data Plan and have four days yet to return the product. As a manufacturing consultant I travel frequently and wanted a device I could use on the plane without lugging out my notebook computer. So I made the decision in comparison to the Ipad 2. First the cons. 1) I realized with the Xoom that there is a lack of applications in comparison to the Ipad. But for my purposes those that are available today suit me fine and I trust that new app's will be forthcoming. 2) I have always been impressed with Apple's displays. They seem to know how to produce screens and in just general navigating the web on an Ipad 2 versus the Xoom, I believe the Ipad wins. The Xoom seems to have much more glare and the text isn't as crisp as the Ipad. 3) For some reason my Xoom can no longer connect to my network at the office. Worked for about a week and now obtains an error. Works fine [reliability::works fine] at home and the Wifi hotspots I have tested but no longer at the office. This maybe another issue related to my office network but it is strange that it worked at first and now won't connect. 4) The Xoom is heavier than the Ipad but to this point I have not seen this as an issue [reliability::has * issues] . It's noticeable when holding them side by side but for me the weight difference wasn't enough to sway me either way. Now the Pro's: 1) The display is called Gorilla Glass and doesn't need the typical protective shields. This may not be a Pro in comparison to the Ipad as my daughter has an Ipad, without a protective shield, and her screen seems to have held up just fine. 2) The upgrade to 4G was a big part of my decision. 3) The upcoming Flash Player was another major decision to go with the Xoom. With my Amazon account I can stream and watch movies at no additional charge as well as catch TV through my Xfinety account which will be possible when Flash is available. 4) The screen is also the typical HD wide screen so when watching movies you get a full screen mode where as with the Ipad you don't. Although the screen has some glare, the book reader [other_attributes::reader] works [reliability::works] great. I'm a traditionalist and typically purchase the hard copy books but the Xoom may change my opinion after using this feature. 5) I haven't experienced any lockups that others have blogged about but it's probably due to the fact that I don't have a lot of app's installed and have stuck with those designed for the native operating system. 6) I like the Android Honeycomb operating system [operating system::operating system] , general navigation, and the widgets. The email and contacts seem to synchronize nicely with our corporate exchange server. I also like the direction of Google and believe that in the long run a separate company producing the operating system unrelated to the hardware will maintain an open architecture which will promote more sophisticated applications. I have decided to keep the Xoom.

I really wanted to like this! I tried for days to overcome the limitations of the android honeycomb OS, Just not really what I expected, I think tablets [tablets::tablets] in general [other_attributes::generals] are fine for certain users who just want to surf the internet ,check emails watch video and listen to music ,all of which I can do on my phone. As for me, I was trying to use this to run my business applications and stop carrying a bulky laptop to clients. Tablets are NOT computers. Android honeycomb is NOT Windows or Mac. It's based on Linux but unlike it, DOES NOT run Windows applications and software. I think a Netbook fits my needs much better. That being said my review on the tablet AS a tablet. I didn't like the Motorola Xoom for many reasons. My wife has an Ipad 2 so my comparisons are based on that mostly. The xoom is a very bulky tablet, it feels huge by comparison to the Ipad2 and the Ipad 2 seems quite large compared to the other smaller tablets on the market. The honeycomb OS is not as robust as the Ipads or as user friendly [usability::user friendly] .The app library is not as extensive.Even the interface is dark and gloomy by comparison. I think that if I was going to go for a tablet and it absolutely HAD to have Flashplayer, I would still look into the other options by Blackberry, Asus ,Acer or HTC. All the normal functions of the tablet seemed to work ok, the web was fairly responsive and the few applications like email and such worked as they should BUT no better than an Ipad2 and I imagine no better than the newer tablets coming out now. Perhaps the Xoom '2' will be much better, like Apple improved on the 1st generation Ipad but for now , I would take a pass on Xoom. What's great about it:  Nothing Great . What's not so great:  Most everything...average at best No, I would not recommend [general::would not recommend] this to a friend.

OVERALL SCORE=.56
First of all I want to say that I own both Apple and Google/Android devices. I own iPod Touch and have played with iPad of family member who own the device. I also played with iPad 2 quite a bit at the store as well as from a friend who got it on launch day. I currently own original Motorola Droid and looking to upgrade to newer Android phone this summer. It is difficult not to compare Xoom to its competitor aka iPad 2. Therefore, this review will entail Xoom features (Wifi version) along with comparison to iPad 2. Operating System - An iPad is more akin to a smartphone where as a Xoom is more akin to a laptop. Honeycomb feels more like a tablet. It's not just a row of apps and wasted space like iOS. Plus, you have room for customization (widget, live wallpaper, theme etc). There is also little detail that tech savvy will appreciate (outline grid, advanced settings, google labs etc) Honeycomb is still a bit buggy but not to the point that it becomes annoying. I only have several force close (app closed due to error) once in a while after owning it for a week (Not all phone apps work with Xoom..yet). Obviously iOS which is a proven OS and was out almost 4 years ago is more stable than the Honeycomb, a brand new OS (optimized for tablet use) that was out a month ago along with its SDK. Google know Honeycomb still needs improvement, I know Honeycomb is unfinished and I don't mind waiting for even better experience. Also, it's easy to transfer files [other_attributes::transfer file] between computer and Xoom. Just plug in USB and it acts as a hard drive then you drag and drop the files you want. There's also apps like ES File Explorer and Astro File Manager that help manage files/folder (like Window explorer). I believe iOS requires other softwares unless you just do music/movies through iTunes. Oh and I forget to mention that I hate having to everything tied [other_attributes::ties] /synced [syncing::syncing] through iTunes. On Xoom, there's more freedom and you are not stuck with one software like iTunes. Winner: To each his own but I like Honeycomb better. Design/Apperance/Screen - Xoom is heavier but that is due to a solid build quality which I love. It is also thicker and has wider screen (more appropriate for movies than iPad 2). Although Xoom has higher screen resolution, iPad 2 still has brighter screen and more vivid look. Winner: iPad 2 by little bit User Interface - Some people say Honeycomb is too complicated to use. Well maybe to those who has been using only iPad. For someone who use both, I have to say it is pretty simple to use. iOS is more intuitive and foolproof but there is much more detail/option on Xoom that many people will appreciate. Winner: Tie Multitasking - One button and it takes you to 5 most recent apps for easy switching on Xoom. iPad 2 sort of have multitasking but not a true multitasking experience. Winner: Xoom Browser - If you use Chrome browser before, it is pretty much like that on Xoom. I prefer tabbed browsing over having to press button to open various windows on Safari on iOS device. You can type search directly on address bar like Chrome. You can sync bookmarks through your Google account. And yes I know there are other browser apps in the market. But for a stock browser app, Xoom has a better experience. Winner: Xoom Apps - iPad is way ahead in term of apps and it is because original iPad had at least 1 year head start vs Xoom. Not to mention Honeycomb is unfinished and SDK was recently released. However, the tablet apps that are available on Android market (about 50 tablet apps), most of them work [reliability::works] great and look awesome. Note that you can still use Android phone apps. The phone apps get stretched out but still keep the high resolution thus they don't look bad on the screen whatsoever. Give it time. Winner: iPad 2 Customization [other_attributes::customization] - This is my favorite part about Android. You have open customization from themes, widgets to customized home screen and live wallpapers. iOS has none of that unless you jailbreak the device. Winner: Xoom Notification - If you have iPhone and iPad, you know how notification can be quite painful. Xoom has better notification system that show up briefly in bottom right corner as you get new email, app update etc. You can press it to view all notifications or remove them. Additionally, there is also LED light blinking notification on top right of the device. Winner: Xoom Hardware Performance - A5 vs Tegra 2 is still up for debate. Xoom seems to be as powerful as iPad 2 with exception of GPU (difference can be seen with gaming and screen brightness). iPad 2 has 512MB RAM vs 1 GB RAM on Xoom. Winner: ??? Camera/Video/Audio - Better camera and video on Xoom thanks to its higher spec vs VGA front and lower MP back camera on iPad 2. Camera app gets a little bit of time to get used to on Xoom. Speaker [audio quality::speakers] on Xoom is decent and could have been louder. I wish the volume rocker is more visible on the side. It feels like the button can become stuck into the device. Also I use DVD Catalyst 4 to convert and transfer movie to Xoom. It can convert most file types as long as it's not DRM protected (like "Digital Copy"). The software is pretty neat [operating system::the * is very good] , simple to use and the pictures [picture quality::photo] look great. You have option to customize the pictures, add subtitles, and get rid of black bars. Winner: Xoom OVERALL Flash - Yes, Flash is still in beta but it works great [reliability::it works great] so far with a little bit of lagging but barely noticeable. Pretty smooth most of the time. I tested it on sites that use Flash like Engadget (video), Honda (car animation), Vice Versa restaurant in NYC (heavy flash site), Myspace and bandcamp (with music player on artist page). iOS has no Flash AT ALL as we all know when it comes to browsing. Winner: Xoom by a mile (until HTML5 is fully functional) Battery Life - Xoom gets about 8 - 9 hours for heavy multitasking usage. Will have to test standby time but I expect it to be less than iPad 2. iPad 2 gets at least 10 hours of heavy usage. Winner: iPad 2 GPS - Just want to mention that GPS and full Google maps navigation is available on Xoom wifi. While on iPad 2, it is only available if you get 3G+wifi version. And if you use Google maps app before on Android you know that it is more extensive than map on iOS (turn-by-turn voice navigation, layers etc). Since this is a Wifi version, THERE IS cache settings on Google Maps where you can prefetch map tiles by panning over the city/region while on Wifi (up to ?? MB. Need to verify the cap). Then you can navigate to desired destination just like normal with voice navigation. You cannot change the destination halfway obviously since there is no 3G connection. The other alternative will be to tether the device with 3G/4G smartphone. Winner - Xoom Nitpick - SD card slot on Xoom is still not enabled at this moment. Also, I wish Xoom can be charged through micro USB but I believe it may be because micro USB doesn't supply enough current to charge a tablet. In the end, you may prefer one device over the other and it is to each his own. However, based on the overall factors I mentioned above, I prefer Xoom.

The Xoom is definitely the iPad contender! The aesthetics are pleasing, and is what you would expect a tablet to look like.The OS feels very familiar, and not because it is Android. It actually feels more like MS Windows! The way in which the notification bar is presented is very Windows-esc.The interface is butter smooth, and a couple of apps (such as CNN's) really show you why this can be much better vs. the iPad (think of presentation of information on your home screen).If developers can make good apps, and leverage the Honeycomb 3.0 design, I think this will take market share away from apple.What I don't like - For the price, there should have been a few light weight productivity apps I could use right out of the box. It doesn't come with a note taking apps, which is something that should be standard. Heck, I have my corp email sync'd with this thing; need to be able to take notes of some type.Though the form factor is nice [form factor::the * is good] , I do think it should have been a bit wider in portrait mode, but no big deal. On batter life, this thing has been going good for 11 _x0013_ 12 hours (with push email on 2 accounts, and surfing using FireFox with the desktop UA enabled).Overall I would recommend this device [device::device] to anybody who is looking for a tablet. If you had your heart set on iPad, and this threw a monkey wrench in your purchasing decision, don't hesitate, however. iPad has a strong [other_attributes::strong] app market [market::market] , and is great to hit [hits::hits] the ground running. This still needs time for the eco-system to grow in the next 6 months.Finally, the OS doesn't feel like a 1.0 debut OS, but an evolution and refinement of the Android OS in general. So don't worry that this is a buggy 1.0 setup that you hear on the Blogs. What will make or break this device is app development. If devs can leverage this device and make great apps, I think it usurp market share from iPad - If not, then iPad will remain the defacto gold standard.

I've only had the Xoom for a few days now, but so far I love it [general::i love it] . The Honeycomb OS is an experience in itself and I'm happy to see the improvements that they've done to make the OS tablet friendly. I've had the iPad and now that I've got the Xoom, I'd say that the only thing I miss with the iPad is probably the vast amount of apps that the App Store had. I'm confident however, that the Android Market will begin to see more and more tablet friendly apps made specifically for the Xoom & Honeycomb. The tablet does have a bit of weight to it, which can make holding it a little tiring, but I kind of like the weight. It makes the Xoom feel legit and not cheaply made [reliability::cheaply made] . The front facing camera is 2mp and the rear facing camera is 5mp. I haven't really played with the cameras much, but from what I briefly saw, pictures taken in adequate lighting seemed fine, though taking pictures with the Xoom would be a bit awkward considering the size of the thing. The placement of the power button is kind of awkward, being that it is on the back of the unit, but it has its pros and cons. Holding the tablet in your hands, it's easy to turn on/off the tablet quickly as the button is right there by your fingertips, however if the tablet is on a table and you want to quickly turn it on (like on the iPad), you can't really do so. You do have to lift the tablet and find the power button. To charge the Xoom you have to use Motorola's proprietary charger and it cannot be charged using a standard micro USB cable (only data transfer). This makes me sad, as I have lots of micro USB cables and only the one supplied Xoom charger. There have been some force closes, but nothing too detrimental to the Xoom experience. Transferring of files is easy. You just plug in the supplied USB cable to your computer and it will appear as a mass usb storage device and proceed to drag over whichever files you want to the designated folder (If using a Mac however, you do have to download the android file transfer app to your computer first which can be found at www.android.com/filetransfer). I was able to add movies and music to the tablet easily using this method. Playing back [other_attributes::play back] music [audio quality::music] on it is great, the speakers are surprisingly nice [general::, * is very good] and loud. And of course, having the ability to play Flash on the Xoom makes the web browsing experience 10x better than on the iPad. I'm no longer encountering problems with [reliability::problem with] flash [flash::flash] based websites and left worrying whether or not a certain page will load. With the Xoom, I can confidently browse the web and know that everything will load as it should. What's great about it:  Flash, Honeycomb, Tegra 2 Processor, Dual Cameras What's not so great:  Weight, Proprietary charger I would recommend this to a friend!

The list price of the Xoom is 799.00 not 999.00 I bought the Xoom for the outstanding hardware [hardware::hardware] . The display and speed make all the difference. Yes, there is a lack of android tablet applications at the moment, but the same could be said for the Ipad when it was first released. Browsing in landscape [other_attributes::landscaping] or potrait mode [other_attributes::modes] is awesome. Honeycomb OS needs some tuning, but this device [device::device] is an impressive piece of technology [f::wonderful * technology] . I was on the fence until I visited a Verizon store and actually used the device. My Ipad is collecting dust.

The iPad 2 just feels like a giant iPod, seriously! It doesn't feel like a real Operating [reliability::not * operate] System at all. It's much more flexible than iOS. Plus, we are not locked to our computer by iTunes, we can put any file on the Xoom with a simple USB cord. The battery life [battery life::battery life] on this thing is amazing [general::the * is good] , we charge it about 2x...a week! Angry Birds RIO is a joy to play on this big screen. I also love using the CNN app and the Pulse reader app. I think the reason why my wife got tired of using the iPad was because it doesn't support Flash. On the iPad, you have to use the Facebook app (which feels restricting) instead of the real site but with the Xoom, the real site works perfectly [reliability::works perfectly] . All the Facebook videos work right on the page and she can even play Farmville on it too! The camera quality is amazing [other_attributes::the * is good] ! I also own a Canon 5D Mark II w/an L lens (worth $3500) and while the Xoom's camera quality obviously can't beat the Canon, it looks good enough to make some people believe the shots were taken w/my Canon. This also has a GPS chip which the iPad 2 doesn't have, which means, we can take the Xoom on the road and use its huge display for true navigation, which isn't even possible on the iPad 2. Last thing is the screen is made of Gorilla Glass, so it's much more durable [reliability::durable] than the iPad 2. We had to put a screen shield on the iPad 2, which makes it feels rubbery and sticky and not as smooth to run your finger across.' & faster battery charge algo battery life up 10hr. What's great about it:  Real os more like a table pc, not like ios smartphone on a big ipad. What's not so great:  ipad 2 no flash [flash::flash] and problem with [reliability::problem with] ios not ready for prime time, more like smartphone feels. I would recommend this to a friend!

I was ultimately [ultimately::ultimately] disappointed with the Xoom. It is just a larger version of the Motorola X, which sat in my drawer since new. I am not a fan of the Android OS, mainly because it serves little purpose outside of a toy. The phone functions are archaic compared to other OSs, and the apps serve little purpose in the real world. My primary disappoints, and a large part of why I returned the Xoom, are because there is no NetFlix for Android, and you can only charge the Xoom with a proprietary charger. I rated the device 2 stars because it does have great performance, [performance::have good * ,] it never crashes [reliability::never crashed] , and it seems like quality hardware and build.

I've had it a few hours, but so far it is fantastic. Wasn't sure at first whether I should use the same Google account as my Moto Droid 1 phone or create a new Google account. Checked online and advice is to use your existing account. Indeed, it immediately synced my calendar, contacts, etc. As far as apps, it seems to have only recognized apps I've bought for my phone - and automatically downloaded them. Not all of them have been optimized for the pad, and some won't make sense to. I haven't found where everything is yet in Android v3 but I'll get there. One minor nit so far is that rather than using a mini or micro-USB charger, it comes with a tiny coaxial type barrel connector charger. I would have thought they'd try to stay compatible with phones but maybe the charge rate isn't high enough with a phone charger. Another issue not directly related is the BB add-on warranty. They are outrageously priced - more than for my fridge or TV! Then again those products are not portable [usability::portable] , so probably less risk. Not sure I want to pay $250+ to get a two year warranty on a $600 device. Really torn on this. Had figured it would be under $150 for two years with drop protection. Lastly, reviews indicate not to buy the case from BB since it is poorly designed and does not even allow charging without removing it from the case. So far I'm glad I bought this instead of an Ipad 2. They are decent enough but I'm more the Android type. Litmus test: If you are the type of person that has someone else fix your PC when it breaks (or if you already have an Iphone), then get an Ipad. Most everything just works and is done for you. If you do everything on your PC yourself (or if you already have a Droid phone), then get an Android pad. Takes a bit more tinkering sometimes, but does so much more. What's great about it:  Size, resolution, SD slot (when they enable it), ability to replace your own battery. Android V3. What's not so great:  Funky charger plug, expensive [price::expensive] BB add-on warranty I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Device [device::device] is very well thought out and the Honeycomb version of Android is a huge improvement in the tablet space. Browser [web browsing::browser] is the best I have seen on any smartphone/tablet and flash makes far better than safari on the IPad. All Around very well done. 4g Cons: Just a bit rushed to market [market::market] (flash, 4g and sdcard access require an update). Verizon is insane! They wanted a $400 deposit on month to month xservice. Bad credit [other_attributes::crediting] or not the most they can lose is 2 months money! Okay ask for card to be on file then, Summary: I will wait for the wifi only version or for some other carrier to get a honeycomb device. Seriously, to ask for 400 dollars when AT&T treats the service for the IPad and IPad2 basically as prepaid, I have heard that Verizon does the same for the IPad2 but have not been able to confirm. If that is to true then why the different treatment for Apple products? Such a shame that such a great device [device::device] is hampered by such a stupid policy that is keeping those without credit or with bad credit [other_attributes::crediting] (it happens sometimes despite trying to do what is right). Verizon needs to change this policy and its great 4g network will make it possible for me to like them again.

I'll apologize to the knee-jerk anti-apple people in advance; you're not going to like what I have to say. I have (actually own) a Motorola Droid, Nexus One (just OTA 2.3 Gingerbread), Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD, iPhone 1,2,3,4, Galaxy Tab, 2 iPads and... most recently, the Xoom. I've got absolutely nothing against Apple, but I wanted the Xoom to be the next Gen tablet. It's not there. Besides the fact that it seems that very little (store) software seems capable of tapping into the 'power' of the Xoom, the software included with it is not up to the task either. I'll admit... it's a software problem [reliability::software problems] . The device is superb, but I'm afraid that there's a lot of delusion/wishful thinking involved when comparing it to the ipad. Everything on the iPad is optimized for the iPad, so with even less resources at hand, everything is faster, more intuitive [usability::intuitive] , and just plain looks better on the iPad. Although the hardware may be bleeding edge on the Xoom, the software stutters, stalls and just plain looks unfinished in many cases. To it's credit, it is not burdened with any bloatware... but to a fault [reliability::faulting] . Because there is so little software optimized for Honeycomb, the environment is pretty sparse. I'm going to wrestle this thing and make it be what I want it to be, but I felt compelled to warn people not familiar with the iPad that a lot of the rave reviews that this product is receiving seem to be from people with an agenda. I have become a huge fan of Android, and it offers flexibility not even possible on the iOS, and phones that aren't corrupted [reliability::corrupted] by carrier, 'signature' software (pure android) are a suprior experience to the iPhone. I am finding the Xoom offering of Honeycomb pretty beta. No doubt it will find its way...but it's not there yet. Actually, contrary to popular belief, I find the Galaxy Tab, with Froyo (Android 2.2.1) to be a superior experience [general::experience] , as it is really just a giant Android phone (sans phone) that is fast, intuitive [usability::intuitive] , and just works as expected. So, in closing, I'm not really trying to discourage your purchase of the Xoom... just to be realistic, and have the proper expectations.

I took some time and considered ipad, ipad2, galaxy tab, xoom 3G or any other tablet released or COMING SOON. Well I tried to finally switch to apple with he ipad2, but of course as usual with there new products, they were sold out. So I almost bit the bullet and paid the 799 for the xoom 3G, since I already have a phone with a 3G hotspot. But then thanks to a Best Buy salesman who was extremely knowledgable and informed me that a xoom wifi only was on its way for 599. Well I bought it the day it was released and have nothing to regret about it. I was shocked that It is faster than a new laptop I bought two months prior, a decent laptop [other_attributes::laptop] too, not a cheap one. LOVE the OS [operating system::os] Honeycomb!!! And I don't get all the app complaints, there are thousands of apps for the xoom available through the market, they just are not all written specifically for the xoom, that number might only be a few hundred so far. Also I thought I wanted something more with a 7' screen, but the 10.1 is very comfotable for all around use. What's great about it:  very fast , long batery life, great all around use- work and play I would recommend this to a friend!
