Motorola XOOM, the company’s first ever tablet, has been finally uncovered at Consumer Electronic Show 2011. The tablet will be featuring Google’s new Android v3.0 operating system, codenamed Honeycomb. It will be the first tablet running on Android Honeycomb operating system, which supports multitasking and has been especially designed for the tablets. The device will be officially available to the consumers at the end of February or in early March.
Motorola XOOM is powered by 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra dual-core processor with 32GB of internal memory and 1GB of RAM. It will be using Verizon Wireless 3G network instead of AT&T network; users can also upgrade it to Verizon’s new 4G network. Motorola has also announced three accessories with the tablet –

• A ‘speaker HD’ dock.
• A standard dock for charging and display.
• A Leather case that can also be a stand.
• A Bluetooth keyboard can be purchased as well.

Motorola XOOM will be featuring –

• 2 megapixels front camera for video chat.
• 5 megapixels back camera with dual LED flash.
• Android Market for downloading applications.
• 10.1-inch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio, resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 1080p quality.
• Mini HDMI and micro USB connectors at the bottom of the tablet.
• Google Maps 5.0 with 3D rendering of buildings.
• Mobile hotspot capability for up to five devices.
• Built-in accelerometer, e-compass, barometer, gyroscope and adaptive lighting.
• Adobe Flash Player 10.1 fully-intergrated support.
• 10 hours of battery life

Motorola XOOM has five homescreens, which looks very different and elegant, and will definitely be worth the wait once it arrives in the market. Search field and a button listing all the installed applications runs along the top, while a taskbar of favorite apps runs on the bottom of the screen. In the middle of the screen, you will see widgets that are designed to take full advantage of XOOM’s screen resolution. Several Google apps are tweaked in such a way that they can make the most of the tablets large screen.
Motorola XOOM will surely grasp the Apple’s iPad market, which covers around 70% of the tablets market. Motorola XOOM, no doubt, is hundred times better than the Apple’s iPad. See yourself-

• • iPad has a screen size of 9.7-inch and a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, whereas Motorola XOOM is having a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
  • Apple’s iPad is powered by 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed processor with 256MB of RAM, on the other hand, XOOM has 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM.
  • iPad doesn’t support Adobe Flash, whereas Motorola XOOM has integrated Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
  • Last but not the least; Apple’s iPad doesn’t have any camera. However, XOOM has dual camera, one 5 mega pixels back camera and one 2 mega pixels front camera.
