Motorola Xoom Review - Pocket-lint

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.'

InfoSync World have published a review of the Motorola XOOM tablet. 'Architecturally, the Motorola XOOM strays from the crowd by embedding its Power/Lock button along the backside of the device, which took some getting used to. We found that the XOOM operates optimally while held in the horizontal position, due to the layout of the external controls. The volume buttons are mounted in the top left corner while all of the terminals can be found on the bottom, consisting of USB, HDMI, and Charger. Rather than rely on the USB terminal for juice, the Motorola XOOM employs a separate round connection that fits rather loosely and could easily be bent or sheared off with a minor bump.'

CNET have published a review of the Motorola Xoom Android tablet. 'Priced at $800 off-contract or $600 with a two-year commitment from Verizon, the Xoom isn't out to win frugal customers. Instead, Motorola is taking the approach used with its successful line of Droid smartphones: emphasizing the device's horsepower and the many capabilities not found on its Apple counterpart. To this end, the Xoom's spec sheet is an all-star cast of dual-core processors, multimegapixel cameras, expansion slots, and maxed-out RAM. Combine the hardware with Motorola's exclusive access to Google's long-awaited Android Honeycomb operating system, and you have one of the most talked-about tablets of 2011.'

PC Advisor have published a review of the Motorola Xoom tablet. 'When on the Motorola Xoom's home screen you can swipe left and right to navigate between all the different apps and widgets. Like the BlackBerry PlayBook, the Motorola Xoom (and indeed all Google Android Tablets) does away with the physical home button. Instead a virtual home button now persistently appears on the bottom left of the display (along with a virtual back and multi-tasking apps button). Pressing this multi-tasking button brings up a display of open apps in a vertical list on the left side of the Motorola Xoom's screen. Simply swipe up and down and pick the appropriate app. Like all other tablets the list is a preview of the actual app running, rather than just an icon (as with the iPad).'
