By chance, I currently have the opportunity to test a 3G model of the Xoom extensively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The excellent 10.1-inch display with 1280 \u00d7 800 pixels immediately stood out positively and remains very readable even in sunlight. I also really like Android Honeycomb 3.1. Together with the 1 GHz dual-core processor, the tablet even supports Flash. The voice input surprised me as well: text can be dictated in virtually any application with a high recognition rate.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rear 5-megapixel camera has a flash and autofocus and takes quite decent photos. There is also a camera for video chats, although Skype video was not yet supported on the Xoom. The built-in UMTS\/3G module supports HSDPA and HSUPA. GPS and Bluetooth are naturally included as well.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can also tell that the Xoom is one of the first true Android tablets. Somehow it still feels not quite mature \u2013 more like a prototype that already works reasonably well. I think the power button on the back is poorly positioned, as are the speakers. The frequently advertised SD-card reader is not even supported by the current software version. At 730 grams, the Xoom is also not exactly one of the lighter tablets.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to see the Xoom in action, simply watch the following video. I test the functions mentioned above and also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Xoom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorola\u2019s Android tablet Xoom was announced as one of the toughest competitors to the iPad.
