Motorola XOOM, the first tablet PC that Motorola brought to the market, and also the first such device in the world to come with Google's Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, is now available for purchase in the United States via Verizon Wireless.
The 10.1-inch tablet PC went on sale with a price tag of $599.99 attached to it upon the signing of a contract agreement with the wireless carrier, but users can also opt for acquiring the device free of contract, case in which they would have to pay $799.99 for it.
Some argued that Verizon and Motorola priced the device too high, but the features list it comes with to the market would certainly worth every penny.
A list with a series of main features of this device would include:
- A multi-touch holographic user interface with a sleek 3D experience
- Completely customizable from a single location: view all 5 home screen panels as well as all available widgets, app shortcuts, wallpapers and more in one place
- Offers the best of multimedia and the Internet with a powerful desktop-like browser with Flash 10.1 support (the software will be released later this year)
- A platform that offers true multitasking and access to over 100,000 apps in the Android market
- Access to over 3 million eBooks with Google Books
- You can also buy apps from the web-based store on www.google.com and the app will show up on your app tray
- Video chat with friends using the front facing camera
- Console-like gaming with rich graphics and a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope
The specifications list of Motorola XOOM would include a dual-core 1 GHz processor that enables fast responsiveness, especially since it was coupled with 1GB of RAM.
Moreover, the tablet PC comes with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD 720p video recording capabilities, and with a front facing camera for video calling.
Currently packing 3G (CDMA EV-DO Rev A) connectivity, the tablet PC is 4G Upgradable (LTE). It also comes with WiFi 2.4 GHz & 5GHz 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR + HID capabilities, as well as with HDMI port, or 3.5mm headset jack.
Other features of the new device include Google Maps 5.0 with 3D interaction, Google Talk with Video Chat, Google eBooks with over 3M titles, Android Webkit HTML5–based browser with tabbed browsing, Push Email Support, and more.
