, Posted in
Motorola has unveiled the XOOM tablet recently which is said to be featuring the latest Android 3.0 a.k.a. Honeycomb. This particular XOOM Android Tablet which is also pronounced as Motorola ZOOM by many others is feature-packed with some of the latest technical standards and specifications which collectively makes it quite eligible to contest the preponderance of the Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab. The tablet mania which first started with the emergence of iPad and accordingly won the hearts of many was later challenged by many other brands of tablet device which has brought around new and innovative features to dethrone it and be probably called the 'iPad Killer'.
The tablet XOOM from Motorola has got most of the qualities which in one way or other seems to be better than other devices of its kind and this is in no way a vis-a-vis to any existent product in the market. It scores high in most of the area when compared to some other popular and acclaimed tablets in the market and in this regard it is likely to offer a mighty call to engage in a contest to all its contender. Let's now have a check at what it has to offer to all the anticipated folks and also how well it performs when compared to others
.
Some of the key specs of this android tablet can be found in the table below:-

The 10.1-inch screen of the Motorola Xoom is one of the highlighted aspects as it appears to be larger than other popular tablets like iPad or Galaxy Tab which in turn sports a 9.7-inch and 7-inch screen respectively. The widescreen HD Display is good enough for gaming and can be expected to provide the standards of console gaming. The Honeycomb OS is also one of its key features as the same is said to be made exclusively for tablets and thereby ensures more reliable performance and support.
Another positive feature built-in is that of the connectivity features which are supported by many different options such as Mobile Hotspot that will make it possible to connect to various other WiFi capable devices to as many as five of them at an instance. The Mobile Broadband will allow you to work productively and deal with the various common tasks such as working with Emails, Documents and various other Personal Information Management tools efficiently while on the move. Some other connectivity features can be mentioned as HDMI Out which provides the convenience to playback video contents on larger HD screens, Micro USB 2.0 and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The processors and the memory are both good enough to run the various apps and processes smoothly and this is what makes it better than other similar stuffs of its kind that are available in the market. It also extends support for Flash which might be a matter of relief for many as the said component is seriously expected to exist in this type of devices. Battery support is average and can deliver about 9 to 10 straight hours of multimedia playback.
However, the price of the aforesaid product which is labelled as the so-called 'iPad killer' is by no way going to be less than the iPad itself and this is what appears to be true as of now but no precise announcement is made regarding how much will it actually cost. The availability is expected to be within the first half of 2011 or around the month of March 2011 but an official announcement is yet to be made. The price of Motorola XOOM in India can however be expected to be within the range of Rs.35000 to Rs.50,000 while the estimated price in US would be around 750USD to 850USD approximately.
