While rumors of an imminent launch of the second version of the iPad are increasing, from February 24 Motorola began selling its “iPad Killer” simply called Xoom. What makes us think it’s a Killer iPad?
IPad “Killer, or just iPad Teaser?
First of all, Xoom is officially announced as the first device that uses the Google Android Honeycomb operating system,I mean, version 3.0. Unlike other tablets with Android, Xoom is equipped with an SO made “from scratch”, and designed specifically for Tablets (recall that previous versions of Android were designed for Smartphones).
Second, and most importantly, Xoom incorporates in its first version (and so far only) two cameras, a 5 MP in the back, able to record HD video and one in front of a lower capacity (2 MP) but ideal for videoconferencing.
Another important aspect that is an advantage over the iPad, is that Xoom will be able to play Flash content, but you will have to download a plug-in that will be available within a few weeks.
The new “toy” from Motorola is only available in the U.S. for now, for a price of $ 800 (about $ 70 more than the similar version of iPad).
