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.Like the iPad, the Motorola Xoom debuted in black only. At 1.6 pounds, it is significantly heavier than the iPad, but it also features a 10.1 inch display screen, which is larger than the iPad's. It runs on a dual-core 1 gigahertz processor, which provides plenty of space to run applications. It also comes with 32 gigabytes of memory for file storage and multimedia downloading. Since the device uses the Android operating system, it comes with several highly rated Google applications pre-installed, including Google Maps, Google Talk, Gmail, and YouTube.The Xoom is compatible with Adobe Flash Player, making it easy for users to watch most internet videos. "Movie Studio" video editing software is pre-installed for novice filmmakers, while music lovers can download tunes using Android Music Player.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.Motorola has designed several Xoom accessories to make the device easy to use and to transport. Users who want to use the tablet in lieu of a desktop computer might appreciate the wireless keyboard and the standing dock. These accessories allow people to stand the tablet up vertically as a screen and use a separate keyboard, similar to the traditional way to using a desktop computer.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.Upon its debut, the Motorola Xoom received several awards and accolades from prominent tech organizations. It received the CNET "Best of CES" award in 2011 for "Best of Show." IGN called it the "Best Tablet" at CES and the magazine "Popular Mechanics" also named it one of the top 19 gadgets at the 2011 CES show.
