Website Reviews: 

"Besides boasting what we consider to be the most complete and clearly functioning version of Android, the hardware which is packed inside Motorola's tablet is really quite good. The tablet is fast and sleek, and while not exactly being really futureproof, the fact that you've got a path to a 4G upgrade is tremendous (and frankly, something no one else in the industry is offering)."

"Unless you’re an Android developer, a devout Android fan, or a bleeding edge IT professional who wants to get an early jump on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, then I’d steer clear of the Xoom..."

Tech Republic

"I was initially hesitant to spend the money on the XOOM, thinking it would be relegated to the coffee table or put aside after time. After a month, I am learning of new ways to use the tablet every day."

Android Guys

" The Motorola XOOM packs a serious punch, and doesn’t have room to store an ice pack. It features great hardware, impressive specifications, and the latest Android OS designed just for tablets. There are many things to rave about with the XOOM, though there were some annoyances and frustrations that stemmed from Google’s OS for the most part and not from Motorola’s hardware."
