If you haven't heard yet, Motorola recently unveiled its new Android tablet. Though I'm not normally an early adopter of new devices, I can't stop thinking about the Xoom. And like any good child of the 70's I have the theme song running through my head: "I wanna Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!" Come on, you know you want to sing along!
Seriously, the Xoom looks expertly poised to give the iPad a run for its money. From the slightly bigger screen, to the 4g capacity, from the front and back video capable cameras to HMDI outlet for sharing content to your HDTV, this is one amazing machine. Still not sure I'll be buying on the first day or even in the first week, but I can't wait to get my hands on one, and I think I'll be buying sooner rather than later.
Take a look at the video. Specs are posted below. See more on the official xoom site. Watch another xoom video.
