With a brilliant 10.1-inch display optimized for high definition video in true 16:9 widescreen format, Motorola XOOM provides a whole new media experience for mobile uses. With a dual core chipset, everything moves faster: web browsing, video playback, gaming. Native support for both front and rear cameras provides easy access to either one. The addition of a gyroscope, along with a powerful graphics engine and built-in hardware acceleration, elevates game design to a whole new level. Motorola XOOM pushes the boundaries and opens a whole new world of what’s possible.

Motorola Xoom Android tablet comes with a 5 MP camera and a 2 MP web-cam with 720p video playback. The screen size is 10.1 inches, weighs 730 grams and supports up to 320 GB of memory. As compared to Apple's iPad, this Android tablet is said to have a more flexible interface with a feature that allows you to return back to the home page with all the open applications presented vertically on the screen of the Google tablet as a scrollable slide preview.

The notifications for emails, downloads and IMs are easy to view as they are presented horizontally on the screen along with the signal and battery indicator. Motorola Xoom also has the attractive feature of resizing the desktop widgets; this was made possible with the upgrade of the OS from Android 3.0 to 3.1. The FaceTime of this Android tablet compared with Apple iPad is also observed to be better as it provides a wider user base. One of the most attractive features of Motorola Xoom is the battery life. It has a stand-by time of approximately 14 days, MP3 playback of 3.3 days and video playback time of 10 hours. However, there is a drawback of the Android tablet having no SD card slot for additional memory and there is still lack of application selection.

Regardless, Motorola Xoom Android Tablet has impressive display quality and is better for individuals who love multi-tasking, as this allows for faster and easier multi-tasking compared to Apple's iPad. The camera application of the Android Tablet is better than Apple's as there are more features packed in the application. Most importantly, the easy availability of applications for not only Motorola Xoom but all Google Tablets is another major advantage over Apple Tablets whose applications need to be purchased just via iTunes App Store. Conclusively, Apple's Tablet PCs might be on the top and preferred by most, but there are various Android tablets which directly compete with Apple's products and are worth looking into for purchase consideration.
