Jan 06, 11 Motorola Xoom, the reference shelf for Honeycomb

With its first tablet unveiled Android at CES, Motorola hit a great shot. The Xoom, which will be marketed in the first quarter of 2011 by the U.S. operator Verizon, is characterized by many points.

3.0 running Android – the Google OS for tablet - it integrates a large multi-touch screen of 10.1 inches (more than 25 centimeters diagonal in a definition of 1280 x 800 pixels) and embarks on Dual Processor Core 1 GHz Tegra2 NVIDIA with 1GB of RAM.


No Wi-Fi, LTE, DLNA, HDMI … nothing has been forgotten
No Wi-Fi and 3G (CDMA in its American version) for easy access to the Web, the Xoom may log the time comes to 4G LTE network through a simple update. Boasting the latest Google services, and developments (such as Google eBooks or the latest version of Maps 5.0 embedding 3D views), this tablet supports Adobe Flash version 10.1. Finally, DLNA, HDMI compatible, it is not left behind in the multimedia field.

Incorporating a five-megapixel image sensor capable of shooting 720p HD, the Xoom plays video up to 1080p. Better yet, she has a two-megapixel webcam in front for the cat video (via Google Talk for example). Expandable with an SD card, internal memory is 32 GB

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
