We’ve heard a bunch of days ago that the Xoom 2 was supposed to come in 2 flavors, but till now we didn’t have any solid proof to point to this direction. Luckily, now we do and you can see it after the break with your own eyes:
The new Honeycomb tablet from Motorola will come in a 10.1 inch and 8.2 inch version with the latter being focused on media features. Both new Xoom 2 version will be very thin, gravitating around 9mm or so, they’ll both have a dual core CPU and pack lots of connectivity options, most likely with LTE on board as well.
The 10.1 inch unit will do HD capture, support Netflix HD streaming, while the 8.2 inch Xoom 2 will be called the Media Edition and pack an IPS display with anti-glare coating. An IR blaster will also be available, turning the tablet into a remote for your home entertainment system and most likely for your TV. Also, the little Xoom 2 is expected to be water resistant, so that’s somewhat of a selling point.
No info about the launch date of these puppies, or the price, but Q4 is a safe bet and so is the inclusion of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on both of them, maybe even 4.1 if their launch is delayed.
