All About Motorola Tablet PCs

The Motorola company unveiled its first tablet computer in January of 2011. Called the “Xoom”, the device was the first to use Android 3.0, or “Honeycomb”, as an operating system. Consumers who are considering purchasing Motorola tablet PCs need to do their research about the model, including the available pricing plans, the technical specifications, and the reviews from technology experts.

As of its debut, the Xoom was presented solely in black, similar to the iPad. It weighs more than the iPad at 1.6 pounds, but the computer also offers a larger display screen, measuring 10.1 inches. This device has a dual-core processor that runs at a speed of 1 gigahertz. This gives users space to operate multiple applications if they desire. The computer also has 32 gigabytes of memory that individuals can use to store files and download music and videos. As part of the Android family, the Xoom has several Google apps such as Google Talk, YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps.

Unlike the iPad, the Motorola Xoom works with Adobe Flash Player. This means that users can easily view most of the videos available on the internet. Music fans can use the device’s “Android Music Player” to quickly download songs directly to the device.

The device can also stream audio, live video, and internet radio. Eleven different music formats are playable on the computer, including MP3, AAC, and MIDI. Those who want to shoot their own videos can use the five megapixel camera to take pictures or communicate via the two megapixel webcam.

The manufacturer has also created several accessories for the gadget that make it simple to use and carry. Some users may intend to replace their traditional computer with a Xoom. If so, they can use the standing dock to situate the computer vertically and then plug in the optional wireless keyboard. This makes it possible for them to use the device in the same manner as a desktop.

Users who are on the go can use the separate car charger to recharge their battery as they drive. Those who watch movies regularly in public can make use of the Bluetooth stereo headset accessory. Business people who carry the Xoom to work can transport it easily by using the portfolio case, which is sold separately.

Battery life for most tablet computers is somewhat limited and the Xoom is no exception. The installed battery delivers up to ten hours of Wi-Fi browsing or up to ten hours of video playing before it will need a recharge. When used exclusively for music, battery life can last for over three days.

On standby, the battery is designed to last for up to 14 days. Motorola offers several suggestions for extending battery life, including turning off the Wi-Fi function when not using it, closing applications that run in the background, and lowering the screen’s brightness.

When it premiered at the 2011 CES show, the Motorola Xoom was awarded several high honors from top tech experts. CNET gave it the “Best of Show” award in the “Best of CES” field. “Popular Mechanics” magazine named the computer one of the top gadgets at the show and IGN gave it the “Best Tablet” award.
