Motorola Xoom with Google’s Android Honeycomb 3.0.
Motorola Xoom was officially launched in US on February 24th 2011. Wonder when will Motorola Xoom come to Malaysia & Singapore?
Now the tablet competition is getting more serious as Motorola Xoom has proven to be a real competitor to iPad and a review made by Engadget says that Motorola Xoom outclasses iPad in some areas.
How much is Motorola Xoom? Price without contract is US$799. That’s equivalent to RM2450.13 (direct conversion using iPhone’s XE Currency converter). Price with a 2 year contract with Verizon is US$599 which is equivalent to RM1836.83 (same here too.).
Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
Motorola Xoom tablet is the first tablet to use Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It’s also the first to have 10.1″ size with 1280 X 800 touchscreen display. It’s also the first tablet to use a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2.
A dual-core for a tablet computer? That’s so unreal. Last time, dual-core processor was like the King for computers and laptops. Now, you can even have it in tablet computers. Technology changes so fast these days. Where to find enough $$$ to buy these toys? Ok, back to Motorola Xoom & iPad 2.
With these specs, many claim that this is the best tablet in the market. Of course, that’s before iPad 2 is out. After testing the Motorola Xoom, Engadget says that Motorola Xoom has super fast UI and great battery life; 8 & 1/2 hours of constant multimedia use but it has issues with the software, lack of tablet applications and also buggy OS but great . Engadget gave it 7/10.
I wonder when will Motorola Xoom comes to Malaysia and how much will Motorola Xoom cost in Malaysia. Who will carry it first? DiGi or Maxis? Let’s wait and see. When will Motorola Xoom comes to Singapore? Will it be earlier than Malaysia? How much is Motorola Xoom in Singapore? Will it be more expensive than Malaysia’s Motorola Xoom just like iPad?
What’s your say?
