With only a few days until it February 24 release, Motorola xoom is said to be the ipad killer, even thaw a lot of tablets are now on the market none have reached the ipad quality or specifications.
Currently leading the market shares is the Ipad followed by Samsung Galaxy Tab but this month a new behemoth will raise, Motorola Xoom.
This table comes with Android 3.0 called Honeycomb, which is the first Google OS designed especially for Tablet use only, that gives it a very good edge against a lot of competitors from a multiple point of views. From what we saw it’s a whole new experience for tablets and a good one indeed, examples you can go from portrait cu landscape anytime in any program, also the video interface has been smooth out its also really fast and provides a smooth new experience.
As far as specifications it will have a:
- 10.1 inches with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution capacitive display, allowing also multi-touch, proximity sensor and light sensor.
- The Motorola Xoom also has a dual-core Nvida Tegra 2 processor, capable of pumping out 720p video to its 10.1-inch, 1280×800 display, or sending 1080p full HD to your TV via HDMI
- It suports a 1GB of RAM
- And according to the model you can get a 32GB of on-board storage that you can supplement with an SD card or lesser versions with 16GB
- Twin cameras with a 5MP at the back allowing for 720p video recording and 2MP at the front – and a choice of 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Battery life is uncertain but Motorola claims 10 hours of battery life when you’re watching videos.
- As for connectivity we have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi with (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n) and also USB type microUSB that supports USB charging.
- Also the Xoom has Headphones connector 3.5mm and a really beautifully and most needed HDMI port version +1.4.
