You must know by now that Motorola Xoom 2 has been available in two versions in the States, a 10.1 incher and an 8.2 inch Media Edition. Well, the slates have arrived in the UK now, where the 10.1 inch Xoom 2 goes for 399 quid, while the 8.2 inch Xoom 2 is selling for 329 pounds. Expansys and Amazon are the places where you’ll find the gadgets.
Both tablets feature dual core processors at 1.2 GHz and Android 3.2 Honeycomb as the operating system. You must know that these tablets are called Droid Xyboard in the USA and that the 10.1 inch unit weighs lighter than the iPad 2, at 599 grams. The new and bigger Xoom supports a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, it relies on TI OMAP 4 processing power, uses 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. The lack of a memory card slot seems to be pissing off people on Amazon, where they’re commenting against the product.
The Xoom 2 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, a front 1.3 megapixel camera and support for MotoCast streaming of content. Expect to find the product on Clove as well, apart from Amazon and Expansys. I’m having a hard time believing that this product is worth your while, especially with the Amazon Kindle Fire coming to the UK soon…
