Motorola Mobility Launches Motorola XOOM™ 2 in Italy

Motorola XOOM™ 2 is powerful, portable and ready to take on the world

Building on the success of Motorola XOOM™, Motorola Mobility is rocking the tablet world yet again with a new addition that brings enhanced experiences to Italy. Motorola XOOM 2 with 3G capabilities boasts powerful productivity, rich entertainment and customizable experiences – the answer to consumers looking for a tablet that can keep up with their lifestyle. Motorola XOOM 2 is available today at TIM stores for 599 Euro (all taxes included).

“Tablets are quickly becoming a must-have tool for staying connected, getting work done and having fun at home and on the road,” said Paolo Prearo, Mobile Devices Business general manager, Motorola Mobility Italia. “We are very excited about this new new addition to our tablet portfolio that builds on the success of the original Motorola XOOM to now deliver more powerful tablet experiences to the European market.”

The new Motorola XOOM 2 features Android™ 3.2, a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, brilliant displays with Corning® Gorilla® Glass for scratch resistance and a splashguard coating for a go anywhere, do everything attitude. In addition, both tablets include the new MotoCast™ app that lets you stream all your music, photos, videos and documents between your computer to your 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 colour 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 VPN support and data encryption.

Motorola XOOM 2 also 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 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 be.

Accessories to connect to your life easier, from anywhere

With the Work and Play kit, plug your tablet into the HD Multimedia Station to connect to your HDTV, speakers and other peripherals for large-screen entertainment. Get more done, faster with the included keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth technology. Now, when your tablet is docked, the Smart Controller lets you MC the show from the comfort of your couch.
