Motorola has officially unveiled their very own tablet called the Motorola Xoom and it will come with Google’s tablet OS, Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Check out the video below.
Motorola Xoom
10.1″ capacitive display @ 1280×800 pixels
Dual-core NVidia Tegra 2 CPU @ 1.0GHz
1024MB RAM
5MP autofocus camera w/ dual LED flash
720p HD video recording
2MP secondary front-facing camera
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA
HDMI output
Bluetooth 2.1
Android 3.0
The Acer Iconia Tab and Asus Eee Pad now have a new sparring partner.
Too bad it’s will work only on a CDMA network (that’s why it’s locked with Verizon) but they might just introduce an international version for GSM.
@al: uber lol. para tuloy naghagis ng malaking bato sa taas na siya rin sumalo.
nice review. dami ko na nabasa today.
sana, medyo humabol ang ipad2 at playbook sa mga to. tsk. 2011 – year of tablets, and AL 1024 lol.
@Al: ur just degrading ur self man hahaha!

I know right, thats why I corrected myself…
Yuga deserves my apology, I was on another site reading the same article and saw differnt number for the ram and impulsively ranted then realized that it was the same thing. Enough explaining, I still lookd stupid. Bow

I wouldn’t expect an official release of this here in the Philippines. Unless imports will pop up through the Greenhills channels.
of course, no CDMA, only wifi. GSM? sabagay meron ngang Milestone e..
Maybe bayantel will get the tablet since they are a CDMA network
I’m still holding off from buying an iPad for this. The Galaxy Tab is nice but I find the screen too small for long term browsing and reading comics (which I’ve been doing lately on a borrowed iPad hehehe).
The hardware specs of the Motorola Xoom are really impressive and I like the screen resolution which is perfect for a 10-inch slate (1280×800!). Also it looks like Tegra 2 is powerful enough to play HD videos which complements the screen as well (good for 720p!). No transcoding of videos here so it’s much more convenient.
Of course we still have to see if Honeycomb will be a great O.S. and if the applications for such a device are as comprehensive as the iPad (especially games). I expect the price of this tablet to be even higher than the Galaxy Tab which will deter a lot of first time slate buyers.
I wonder if Samsung will make a 10-inch slate with Super AMOLED screen
Sayang…wala nang factory ang Motorola dito sa PH, mabilis sana magkaron dito if they still have factory here. But anyway, I hope it would be cheap…pero I think it will cost around 25k or more…
this gadget was just awarded the best gadget for CES 2011….worth waiting for for..in 2 to 3 months i hope…

Let’s hope that this will be one of many iPad competitors to come. More choices, better competition, and hopefully cheaper prices
The question now is whether Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) will be successful as a slate O.S. and if there will be many applications available when slates like Motorola Xoom come on sale. The hardware is already here, it’s the software that needs catching up
Some Tegra 2 tables that we might see very soon:
- Notion Ink Adam
- Toshiba Folio 100
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
- LG G-Slate
- Acer Iconia
- Dell Streak
- Viewsonic G-Tablet
@sleepygeepy
it’s always a good decision to wait for the hardware revision (in the case of the ipad) or more competition (Honeycomb tablets)
ay sana ma-release kagad. baka naman hanggang announce lang. delubyo na, hindi pa lumalabas. january na, wala pa ring archos 101 na mabibili kagad dito sa pinas (yung episyal ha, hindi gray market). notion ink, wala rin. nagkandatulo lang ang laway ko.
update on price?
i guess Liberty Telecom will launch this motorola xoom here in the philippines. using 4G/LTE internet capability. , ) sooon….
Meron ng speculation about sa price, and according sa rumors… $799 sa bestbuy – sa tapos sa Feb. 24 and release.
