The 10.1-inch screen features a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, which is more than sharp enough for viewing an entire web page without having to scroll to the side. It's also great for movies, proving sharp and crisp. The Android operating system is a pleasure to use, and with the latest version – Honeycomb – in place, it's also a step up from other tablets. Honeycomb looks attractive and cohesive...
The Motorola Xoom is an impressive tablet, with high-end specs to put other devices to shame. It also costs a lot of money, however, and it's currently hamstrung by poor app support for Android tablets.
The Motorola Xoom falls behind the Apple iPad 2 when it comes to app support – with far more apps offered for the iPad. However, the Xoom betters its rival in many ways when it comes to the hardware, and if you want a device to browse the web or watch...

As the first Android 3.0 device, the Motorola Xoom is a showcase for Google's tablet-focused Honeycomb OS. Starting at $599.99 (with a Verizon Wireless contract), the Xoom is priced to compete with the Apple iPad ($499-$829, 4.5 stars). In theory at le...
The first Android tablet with Google's tablet-specific Honeycomb OS. Fast. Beautiful, highly responsive touch screen. HDMI output for televison/computer monitor viewing.
User interface seems overcomplicated at times. Flash support is only in beta mode, has limitations. While promised in the future, there's no support for SD cards at launch. Android Market on the device is buggy. Few high-quality, must-have Honeycomb apps.
The Motorola Xoom for Verizon Wireless is the best Android tablet yet, but with a lack of key features (like full Flash video and SD card slot support) and mediocre apps at launch, it doesn't measure up to the Apple iPad. Buy it now...

The 10.1-inch high-res display is clear and fairly bright; good battery life; very solid build; 32GB of built-in storage and will later have expandable memory slot activated.
Poor rear camera; user interface may be complicated for first time users; tablet-specific applications are sparse; proprietary charging cable; high price point; has to be sent away to have LTE enabled.
The dual-core processor and Honeycomb, though there is a shortage of tablet-specific applications, gives the XOOM an edge over the iPad. It is blazing fast and the use of widgets makes the home screen more interactive. The XOOM definitely upped the b...
