Motorola Xoom Speaker HD Dock: Hands-On

Google's first tablet operating system, Android 3.0 Honeycomb debuted on the Motorola Xoom. Motorola launched the Xoom with four accessories. The one that really stands out is the HD Speaker Dock—it allows you to run Android 3.0 on your HDTV.
The Motorola Xoom's built-in speaker isn't very impressive, and the speaker in the HD media dock, while better, isn't much more powerful than a clock radio. The exciting part of the dock is around back, where there's a micro-HDMI port so you can connect your docked Xoom to an HDTV or Whatever is on the Motorola Xoom's screen is mirrored when connected to an HDTV or monitor. The Xoom's display resolution is 1280-by-800, and the mirrored image is displayed in 1280-by-720, so the only part that is not displayed is the black notification bar.
In my tests, all of the apps on the Xoom played back on HDTV (YouTube, the Web Browser, even Google Talk), though you still have the operate the experience from the touch screen interface on the Motorola Xoom. I was able to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, but a Bluetooth mouse wouldn't work.
The Motorola Xoom Speaker HD Dock sells online for $149.99. Check out the slideshow for a closer look at the Speaker HD Dock, and watch the video below to see it in action.
