Features of Motorola Xoom
It has a super powerful dual core processor and Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). The android platform designed specifically for tablet. With its 10.1 inch HD widescreen, you will enjoy HD video in a thin, light and powerful tablet.
The Xoom tablet was designed in a landscape mode compared to iPad with its orientation as portrait. But both can reorient its view depending on the users taste. The Xoom tablet has 0.5 inch bezel compared to iPad with 0.75 inch bezel. The only disadvantage of having small bezel is that, it is less comfortable to hold in one hand because your thumb allows a smaller area to grip the screen.
On the bottom of the Xoom you'll find connections for Micro-USB, Micro-HDMI, a socket for the included power adapter, and a pinhole microphone.
Up on the top edge you'll find a standard headphone jack packed conspicuously in the middle and a removable door to its left that conceals the microSD expansion port and a place for a 4G SIM card, both of which were disabled at launch. Motorola is promising microSD card support (up to 32GB). Support for Verizon's 4G network is also forthcoming, though later in 2011, and not without submitting your Xoom to an authorized dealer for a hardware update.
At the back of the Xoom, which includes a 5-megapixel camera and dual-LED flash, a stereo pair of speakers, and a sleep/wake button. Video quality is also good, recording up to 720p. In spite of its capabilities, the Xoom makes for a comically large camera or camcorder by today's standards.
A front-facing 2-megapixel camera is also included on the Xoom, geared for video chat. Testing the camera using the included Google Talk app, and it is working without a hitch over both Wi-Fi and 3G data connection.
The Xoom has plenty of features under the hood, as well. For horsepower, you have a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM at its disposal. You really notice it, too. System performance purrs along, even with multiple browser tabs open, Pandora playing in the background, and e-mail notifications popping up.
