Motorola XOOM delivers a powerful tablet experience on a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display
Motorola Mobility, Inc. announced the availability of the award-winning Motorola XOOM™ tablet in South Africa. The first device to run on Android™ 3.0, Honeycomb, Motorola XOOM features a dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, true multi-tasking functionality and the latest Google™ Mobile Services on a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display.
“Motorola XOOM redefines the tablet device category. We want to enhance people’s abilities to have fun and connect with family and friends while staying productive on the go,” says Megan Nicholas, mobile devices lead for Motorola Mobility South Africa.
“Motorola is a forward-thinking organisation with a heritage of innovation. Motorola XOOM is another device designed specifically for individuals that demand excellence when it comes to creating or consuming content. The Honeycomb user experience improves on Android favourites such as widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customisation.”
Motorola XOOM Features
Motorola XOOM delivers exceptionally fast performance with its 1GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. The tablet showcases the innovations of the Honeycomb user experience – including an interactive, customizable homescreen with moveable widgets, notifications and tabbed browsing – on a 10.1-inch 1280x800 widescreen HD display, enabling video content that’s richer and clearer than ever before. Support for HDMI enables viewing of videos and movies on larger screens, such as HD televisions. A 5MP rear-facing camera captures HD video, and a 2MP front-facing camera enables clear video chats using Google Talk™.
The latest Google Mobile Services include Google Maps™ 5.0 with 3D interaction and access to over 200,000 apps from Android Market™.
