Motorola XOOM Reviews
CNET "The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high, the design is bulky, and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's."
Engadget "As we put rubber to road on our Motorola Xoom review, it's important to note that it was only a matter of time before the Android army delivered a proper iPad competitor."
Tech Crunch "Few tablets have met with such widespread anticipation as the recently-announced Xoom. It is the closest anyone has come to an iPad equivalent for the Android set."
Into Mobile "The Samsung Galaxy Tab proved that an Android tablet can give Apple reason to worry, but the Verizon-bound Motorola XOOM is the first Android tablet to really be considered a proper iPad killer."
T3 "Motorola Xoom Review: The latest tablet computer to hit the market, is fast and well built, but a little bit of a bugger to play with and way too overpriced."
Slash Gear "Motorola’s big launch of CES 2011 and the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet on the market, the Motorola XOOM has a lot to live up to."
Ubergizmo "In terms of hardware, the Motorola tablet offers some impressive features – including Nvidia’s dual-core “Tegra 2” processor, which delivers great performance and makes the Xoom very responsive with speedy web browsing and a fluid 3D gaming experience."
Tech Radar "The Motorola Xoom is the first Android 3.0 tablet to hit the market. That makes it the first Android tablet to ship with an OS that's designed especially for big screens, and that's why it's so exciting."
Android Central "Big, black and powerful. That pretty much sums up the Motorola XOOM (henceforth to be referred to as the more eye-friendly Xoom), the opening salvo in what is about to be a deluge of tablets running Android 3.0 Honeycomb."
Android Guys "After spending a little over one month with the XOOM I have grown to really like the device, almost love it."
BGR "The Motorola XOOM isn’t the first Android tablet, but in a way it kind of is the first Android tablet."
PCWorld "That’s the Xoom’s main claim to fame: it is, quite literally, the archetypal Honeycomb tablet device."
PCMag "The Motorola Xoom for Verizon Wireless is a solid Android tablet with Flash support, but it doesn't measure up to the Apple iPad 2 in terms of app selection."
GSMArena "The iPad needs to get used to living with a bounty on its head. And always be ready for the likes of the Motorola XOOM."
