#13 in Top 100 Bestselling Tablets PC
Some people say the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi is better than the iPad2. I’ll keep this brief: If you want a tablet with flexibility, robust connectivity, and nearly unlimited customization options, buy a MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet. If you prefer an organized approach to hardware and software, ensuring more consistent quality but with significantly reduced versatility and choice, grab an iPad 2. Neither choice will disappoint you, but if you’re willing to wait a bit for tablet-optimized applications in exchange for the promise of (almost) total freedom to use your hardware as you wish (like I am), the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet is probably the way to go.
The MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi is the tablet I am going to keep. I am not saying that the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet is perfect -but, as tablets go in the second half of 2011, the XOOM met and it occasionally exceeded my expectations more often than the other brands I tried. The disappointments were few and non-essential.
Some key product features of the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi are the following:
• Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system
• multi-touch, holographic user interface
• offers the latest Google Mobile innovations like Google Maps 5.0 with 3D interaction, Google Talk with video and voice chat and access to over 3 million Google eBooks
• 2 GB internal memory
• memory expansion via optional microSD cards (with future software upgrade)
• 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networking

First of all, the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet’s Google Android Honeycomb Operating System is far superior to the iPad2′s iOS. So much so, that the iPad2 when you use it “feels” old and outdated next to the Xoom. Unlike other Android touch pads I have played with, the screen slides real smooth.
The MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi is an Android and that means freedom or at least more freedom than the iWorld. I can download and run anything I want and nobody can stop me from doing so. Sure, freedom implies some risks but… it’s so much sweeter than the uniform world of ‘managed’ so-called eco- (or is it echo) systems. The MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet is a PURE Android. There are no phone-company super-imposed overlays and, after trying a couple other tablets, I found that I like it this way.
Customization is my favorite part about the Motorola Android . You have open customization from themes, widgets to customized home screen and live wallpapers. iOS has none of that unless you jailbreak the device. Accessorizing the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi is easy and inexpensive. Any Bluetooth keyboards and headsets work well but haven’t tried a mouse yet. for best results, I’d recommend accessorizing with a stand, a Bluetooth keyboard, a stylus and a couple of microfiber cloths.
The MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet happens to be an extraordinarily well-built tablet. Solid as a rock, as far as tablets go. Motorola got it right. Good job guys, finally the MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet 10.1-Inch 32GB Wi-Fi is something that competes and beats the iPad.
