Pocket-lint have published their review of the Motorola Xoom tablet. 'The Motorola Xoom measures 249.1 x 167.8 x 12.9mm and offers up a screen that is 10.1-inches on the diagonal, with a high resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. That gives it a pixel density of 149ppi. This means it is a small step above the iPad 2 in terms of size, resolution and pixel density, for those that want to mark the scorecard. However, it doesn't quite have the vibrancy of the iPad's IPS display, so it is much of a muchness as they say, and like the iPad, viewing the display outdoors on the bright sunny day is nigh on impossible. One thing that you might find slightly more natural is the aspect ratio - it actually comes out at 8:5, but once you take a slice off the bottom for the System Bar, you're actually closer to 16:9, which is great for watching movies. By the same measure, the screen is perhaps less well suited for reading text than the iPad 2 due to its narrower aspect.'
