Motorola XOOM Review
When Apple stunned the tech industry last year with their iPad and a few Android manufacturers were eager to get a slice of the tablet market. There was no tablet-optimised Android versions then, but that didn’t stop a few manufacturers from attempting to shoehorn Android Froyo (and Gingerbread) onto larger slates. The public didn’t buy into it, with many purchasers commenting that Android in its then iteration was ill suited for large slates.
Google has since released an Android version called Honeycomb, that was designed from the ground up with a larger screen in mind. While still icon-based, the UI was completely overhauled, now sporting a layout more similar to that of a desktop OS. With the Xoom, Motorola was the first manufacturer to launch a tablet based on the OS. But can they catch up with Apple, who has also made improvements with their second version of the iPad? Do read the FoneArena Motorola Xoom review.
