Motorola's Motopad set to debut as the initial Honeycomb tablet
The Motorola Xoom, a groundbreaking tablet device, was unveiled in February 2011, marking the beginning of a new era in the tablet market. This debut coincided with the launch of Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the first Android version specifically optimized for tablets.
The Motorola Xoom boasts impressive technical specifications that set it apart from its contemporaries. Equipped with Android 3.0 Honeycomb, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, and a 10.1-inch display with an 800 x 1280 pixels resolution, the Xoom offers a seamless and immersive user experience.
In terms of photography, the Xoom features a 5 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera, allowing for high-quality photos and video calls. The tablet also offers 32 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 32 GB via memory card, ensuring ample storage for multimedia content.
Connectivity-wise, the Xoom supports Wi-Fi and HDMI, although it does not have SIM card support for voice calls. The device measures 167.8 x 249.1 x 12.9 mm and weighs 730 g, making it a portable and convenient option for consumers.
Android 3.0 Honeycomb was designed with tablets in mind, offering a new "holographic" user interface optimized for larger screens. This marked a significant departure from prior Android phone versions. The Motorola Xoom served as the flagship tablet to showcase this Android version, propelling the Android tablet market forward.
Meanwhile, rumours suggest that Motorola is developing another tablet, tentatively named the Motopad. This 7-inch tablet is expected to be based on Google Honeycomb and is anticipated to enter markets at the beginning of next year.
