Motorola Xoom Review
Android Honeycomb is the slickest, most elegant version of Android yet, while Moto’s black, sturdy chassis is solid but inspiring.
Ease of use
The tablet-optimised version of Android is intuitive and easy to use with an excellent new notifications system and a graceful new way to customise home screens
Features
The first Honeycomb tablet is packed to hilt with media specs: dual-core 1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM, dual cameras, a full HTML tabbed browser, support for tons of online video including Flash and a 10.1 multi-touch-screen.
Performance
Though the OS is intuitive and multitasking fast and smooth, the Xoom feels unfinished, with most downloaded apps crashing repeatedly. The lack of tablet-specific apps on the Android Market could affect purchasers
Battery life
Above average, as it lasts a few days between charges
Pros: Excellent browser with cool tablet-specific features, intuitive OS, great Gmail and Talk interface
Cons: Programs often crashed, dearth of apps in Android Market with no filter to see tablet-optimised ones, lack of unique interface means it may not stand out in the soon-to-grow tablet market

Verdict: A powerful tablet with the very smart, intuitive Android Honeycomb OS – but it’s missing the app ecosystem and an update to iron out more than a few glitches
