Motorola XOOM - WiFi Model



This piece of technology is known as the Motorola XOOM Android WiFi.
A solid piece of tablet, for your hand! However this ISNT a budget tablet which is
what we tend to focus on here, and with an average price of about $500; that places it just
under the price tag for a Macs iPad2. Take that as you will. (however this is 32gb
while the cheap iPad is 8gb)

Performance in this thing is fast and stable; its running a dual core chip and nvidia
graphics, we threw some 1080p at it, and it threw it right back as fast as we needed it to.
in our 5 hour test, we couldnt kill the battery. so we expected 7;
Then we were told by the staff  "Full 10 hours of video playback and wifi use."
And ive got to tell you, thats astounding, I havent yet seen anything that good in an android tablet.

It has all the sensors you would expect to be in a tablet, gps etc. which is the only things
that make this stand out from a laptop; in fact at the specs it runs "down the page" its on par
or better then alot of laptops being sold even today - Some would say with the sensors however
that its a step up and better.

We put it through the usual ringers, there isnt much to say; It did everything perfectly, as you
would expect from a tablet costing $500.

We highly recommend this tablet, so take a look at the specs below and decide if they are
worth the cost to you!

All in all this felt like a full laptop (responsiveness) experience in a tablet.
Albeit laptops dont run android ;)
