IDSTEIN, Germany – Building on the success of Motorola XOOM™, Motorola Mobility Germany GmbH is rocking the tablet world yet again with two additions that bring enhanced experiences to the German market: Motorola XOOM 2™ and Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition™ - boasting powerful productivity, rich entertainment and customizable experiences - are the answer to consumers looking for a tablet that can keep up with their lifestyle. Both tablets feature 3G and Wi-Fi capabilities and are expected to be available in February 2012.

“Tablets are quickly becoming a must-have tool for staying connected, getting work done and having fun at home and on the road,” said Ralf Gerbershagen, vice president and general manager Europe, Mobile Devices, Motorola Mobility. “We are very excited about these two new additions to our tablet portfolio that build on the success of the original Motorola XOOM to now deliver more powerful tablet experiences to the European market.”

The new Motorola XOOM 2 and Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition both feature Android™ 3.2, a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, brilliant displays with Corning® Gorilla® Glass and a splashguard coating for a go anywhere, do everything attitude. In addition, both tablets include the new MotoCast™1 app that lets you stream all your music, photos, videos and documents between your PC or Mac and tablet without any media tools, apps, or cords.

Motorola XOOM 2: Lighter and Brighter
Motorola XOOM 2 sports a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display and Android 3.2 Honeycomb like its predecessor, but the similarities end there. The display is brighter and more vibrant than before with color enhancement, and the edges have been strategically designed to make the tablet more comfortable to hold -- this tablet is easy on the eyes, and easy on the hands. Motorola XOOM 2 is loaded with Business Ready features like Virtual Private Network (VPN) support and data encryption.

Motorola XOOM 2 features MOTOPRINT integrated into key apps so you can print wirelessly from your tablet. It is approximately 100 grams lighter than the original Motorola XOOM to make it even easier to take on the road, and it can withstand poolside use, spilled drinks or dashes out to the car in the rain thanks to its new splash-guard coating. A battery delivering more than 10 hours of video playback means it can go with you wherever you need to be3.

Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition: Beat your Boredom
Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition is easy to hold with one hand thanks to its 8.2-inch display, and easy to take with you wherever you go, weighing less than the best-selling paperback you’ve been carrying around. Optimized for entertainment, it has a wide, 178 degree viewing angle. Hold it up to someone across the room, or share it with someone sitting next to you, and everyone gets a brilliant view.

Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition has a 20 percent improvement in graphics performance over the original Motorola XOOM for smoother gaming, featuring adaptive virtual surround sound with booming bass that’ll delight your ears and make you stand out from the crowd with one of the fastest multi-tasking in its class. It can even be a universal remote control for home entertainment equipment with the personalized, custom remote control app pre-loaded on the tablet. Lastly, a splash-guard coating provides extra protection against the spills that are bound to happen when you’re having fun.

As an exclusive offer, Motorola Mobility will now have the application for DIE WELT pre-installed on both new tablets and Motorola users will benefit from a trial subscription of three months. The WELT Group’s Android App will enable readers to access the popular ePaper, WORLD COMPACT, the evening before with continually updated news from the WORLD Group newsroom. Users will be able to obtain information in real time on current world events, the latest stock market prices or TV programs.
