Great review! I just got my zoom and am trying to learn how to use it and not mess it up. I have a question: if I move a widget to one of the five home pages (I'm not sure I have the correct name for them) and I no longer want it there and I throw it in the trash, does it delete the complete widget or just that shortcut? I'd appreciate your help. Thanks, Mary
i was going to get first the Galaxy Tab 10.1 than the ipad 2 but the heck on this baby i can expand my memory, and even tho u can do about the same on the galaxy i can do a lot more than the ipad 2..
@CurrentWeb This video was made more than a year before, please tell me if the tablet is better with the android updates and the number of apps currently available for this product
i just bought mine and for some odd reason it keeps playing the demo video of the tablet every little while. i have no idea how to remove that! as soon as i touch the screen it goes back to how it was,
@TheChickenMaggoT That sounds like an easy fix. Try going into settings, manage apps, and looking through the installed applications for anything with Verizon in the title. Sounds like they left the Showcase on your tablet by accident. If you need more help PM me :)
Great video! I ordered mine last weekend after seeing this I cant wait to play with it... $299 3g/4g lte xoom on contract with verizon $669 full retail vzw
Can facebook video chat run on it, and skype, tango and google talk too ???? Motorola Atrix smartphone have problem with skype cause it a dual core !!!
The XOOM is the only tablet I know that works in a vehicle on FLIGHT MODE , in the GPS setting so you can travel anywhere, in flight mode, and have 100% function of your GPS program (provided you downloaded its maps onto your XOOM like Co-Pilot - and many others.)That means you're not using any of your GB which is great. The only thing greater, is the STYLUS-R-US stylus at beststylusDOTcom. OMG are they ever unreal. They have over 42 and 10 telescoping and they have the TERMINATOR! COOOOL!
seems odd to have the headphone jack right in the middle on the top. im not a fan of that... might have been a better idea to put it on one of the sides. imo
I need an honest opinion on this.... I'm having a tough time deciding between the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I've heard that the display on the Xoom is not the greatest, is that the case? If so, is it enough to detract from the overall experience? I've noticed that the Xoom is a bit thicker, which doesn't really matter, but is it noticeably heavier? I'm going to be using it primarily for surfing the web and playing movies, as I have a fully capable laptop...
thanks man i was trying to decide between the i pad and motorolla xoom so i now i know i am definitely getting the xoom because of the feel the color the processor and because of the speed and smoothness of it
I was definitely thinking about getting one of these because I am in need of a tablet due to the fact that I'm sick of carrying my laptop around everywhere. A tablet would be very mobile and a great way to stay on top of things. My only issue is which to get? I'm comfortable with Windows 7. Yet i want something new. I'm just afraid to start using an android software because I'm not familiar with it.
Do you have an SD card installed? have you transferred stuff to it? if so, what, apps, music movies, books or what do you think is the wise thing to do? I am waiting for MS Office for android (is "Quick Office Pro" microsoft compatible? do you know?
I think I can shelve my laptops with this little beauty of a machine.
@Mrjonessekid I do, I use it for only music and movies though... I'm sure it's capable of holding apps and books too. And yes, you can open .doc files in QuickOffice.
I wouldn't say this could get rid of your laptop though.. maybe for flights and movies, but there are some things a laptop is so much better at.
You know, this is a great review you know, except for all the you know's. But you know, it's kind of a you know, you know, you know, you know. Not complaining, great information, thank you.
I love my xoom, I am going to figure out how to get some widgets for calendar, timer, alarm and my 3 email accounts like you have.
I have had no problems at all. Some games that don't open, who cares. This device somehow seems to have jumped into the future.
I've been doin alot of research on tablets and I think the motorola Xoom is the best overall tablet in the market ... Ipad2 is very good but it's pretty much a big itouch..... Any1 agree?
@Ghostrider03Z right now, I think the ipad is faster, but if you can wait to get the Ice Cream Sandwich update the end of November, the xoom becomes faster, it is like having a new tablet apparently...
I tried to like this tablet but it was waaay too laggy. That can be really annoying when using spreadsheets or certain apps where the touch response's precision is a must like the piano app on iOS for example. I like the customization of android but the iPad's precision sold me.
Great job! As an illustrator, the deciding factor to get the Xoom for me was the fact that the Xoom can handle an external hard drive and you can upload to the Xoom, work on designs and then take the Xoom and hook it up to your PC to download the designs to the PC. iPad offers none of that. Wal-Mart now sells the Xoom for $499. - more for your money than iPad2 for sure.
Great video. I just purchased a Xoom and i noticed you use Tweetdeck i tried it on my Xoom and for some reason i cant post any messages on tweeter and the screen doesn't turn on certain Tweetdeck screens. Do i need to change any settings?
@mac10688 No, not trying to hide anything. Any jump cuts I did was either because I started talking too much or bits weren't important enough (wanted to keep it around 20 minutes).
is there any crashes by the Xoom's system or apps or games or anything in it...and how is the response speed...you know turn it vertical or flip it horiz. ... open a video on youTube...
speaking of youtube...is it like the normal browsing we have on our desk \ laptops ???
On the ipad, While browsing in safari, and switching b/w tabs, do the pages reload or do they stay in memory? The ipad 1 had just 256mb of RAM. The ipad 2 has 512mb. Does that help while switching through tabs in safari?
What about the xoom? The xoom has 1GB of RAM which is significantly better. But does that improve the browsing experience. How many tabs can you open in the browiser before things begin to slow down on the xoom?
I've seen alot of Xoom reviews today but after seeing your very good review i'll definitely go and pick one up. What i liked most about your video is how you focused on the beauty of the UI and all its transitions and stuff! It was not just flicking through like most people do in their reviews. Before i buy this great little device, can you recomment any messenger application for the Xoom... Really would like to have ICQ running in the background while surfing the web and listening to music. Th
@malignanz ICQ has an Android app! I don't use it personally, but it's definitely available. It's not tablet optimized, but chances are it'll work just fine on the Xoom.
Can someone answer me without being bias please.. IPAD2 or XOOM? which should I get. It's gotta be 3G. The ipad just works, it's user friendly and all those apps!! but if the xoom was made by apple I would buy it today! but the xoom lacks apps and many things either crash or have dodgy screen sizes..
@artwel123 Oh and I don't want a tab to replace my laptop. I want it in the car mainly as a media device, music, satnav, webbrowsing etc, games aren't gonna be a major thing.
CAN YOU MAKE PHONECALLS WITH THE XOOOOOM??? THANKS!
@artwel123 Technically, you can make calls with the xoom 3g. But it involves a little bit of hacking, not complicated hacking, but hacking nonetheless. I for one an not doing ANYTHING to my xoom till we get an SBF (if you don't know what that is, Google it).
So, in short, the xoom makes calls, just not without some help ;)
@artwel123 It depends who you are. Do you just need something to look a few things up on the web and check your email, and then play some games? Well, then get an iPad. But if you want something to do more heavy duty work, like editing documents, really using the web, and transfering files, then go with the xoom. The xoom definitely lacks apps made for tablets, but it has plenty of phone apps that scale perfectly. Plus, it doesn't crash, that's a rumor than iFans like to throw around :)
@artwel123 very good information question. Well i do hope that thew Xoom wont lack android apps. I mean depends exactly what your searching for. Think about it my new HTC HD7 phone has windows phone 7 marketplace.. it is so boring and so useless apps there. I hope Xoom android marketplace will not be as boring as the wp7 marketplace. what do you think?
@VOXS2 Well I have now had an IPAD2 3G for a week now and I am glad I made the right choice! It just feels perfect like glass art! It won't replace laptop but it's the apps that bring it to life, there are apps for pretty much anything and most of those make up for the lack of flash.
One thing I must say about IPAD is I have yet to find a free spotify/grooveshark type site , if anybody knows anything please let me know. thanks
you just made my decision much easier after this video.... i was debating between this and the ipad 2..... i decided to go with the xoom because i been with both android(samsung vibrant) and ios (ipod touch 4g).... i do however wish that where were more apps..... but i am willing to wait just because i know what the android is capable of..... actually .... the ipod touch was more for apps that i could not find on the android market.... but now all the apps are slowly coming on here... great job
You get far more for your money with Xoom, 4G mobile internet, expandable memory up to 32GB, 1GB (PC RAM), HDMI and micro USB port, far better cameras with dual LED flash, larger and higher definition screen in a smaller circumference, stereo speakers, flash player and useful User Interface almost a PC all of which the iPad2 has NOT GOT and more...
Great review :) can wait for this tablet to come out in the UK, I used to like my iPad but the OS is getting stale :( I don't care much for gpu as I don't play games on tablet lol :) really like your videos, keep up the awesome work :)
@afterbirth83 I think so, but it's hard to tell. Sam's Club will basically just sell whatever they have. They are rarely told about what they are getting in each shipment, so if there are Xooms they'll sell them. Sam's Club definitely has them, but it's not on their site and is incredibly hard to find in a store.
good review! got one myself now. the xoom tablet it amazing!

The ipad just works, it's user friendly and all those apps!! but if the xoom was made by apple I would buy it today! but the xoom lacks apps and many things either crash or have dodgy screen sizes..

@artwel123 Oh and I don't want a tab to replace my laptop. I want it in the car mainly as a media device, music, satnav, webbrowsing etc, games aren't gonna be a major thing.
CAN YOU MAKE PHONECALLS WITH THE XOOOOOM??? THANKS!

@artwel123 Technically, you can make calls with the xoom 3g. But it involves a little bit of hacking, not complicated hacking, but hacking nonetheless. I for one an not doing ANYTHING to my xoom till we get an SBF (if you don't know what that is, Google it).
So, in short, the xoom makes calls, just not without some help ;)

@artwel123 It depends who you are. Do you just need something to look a few things up on the web and check your email, and then play some games? Well, then get an iPad. But if you want something to do more heavy duty work, like editing documents, really using the web, and transfering files, then go with the xoom. The xoom definitely lacks apps made for tablets, but it has plenty of phone apps that scale perfectly. Plus, it doesn't crash, that's a rumor than iFans like to throw around :)

@artwel123 very good information question. Well i do hope that thew Xoom wont lack android apps. I mean depends exactly what your searching for. Think about it my new HTC HD7 phone has windows phone 7 marketplace.. it is so boring and so useless apps there. I hope Xoom android marketplace will not be as boring as the wp7 marketplace. what do you think?

@VOXS2 Well I have now had an IPAD2 3G for a week now and I am glad I made the right choice! It just feels perfect like glass art! It won't replace laptop but it's the apps that bring it to life, there are apps for pretty much anything and most of those make up for the lack of flash.
One thing I must say about IPAD is I have yet to find a free spotify/grooveshark type site , if anybody knows anything please let me know. thanks

can you connect to a custom proxy on it? What about SSH?
halofreak939 10 months ago
@halofreak939 Custom proxy, yes. I have no clue if you can SSH into it... probably with some app out there, but none come to mind.

you just made my decision much easier after this video.... i was debating between this and the ipad 2..... i decided to go with the xoom because i been with both android(samsung vibrant) and ios (ipod touch 4g).... i do however wish that where were more apps..... but i am willing to wait just because i know what the android is capable of..... actually .... the ipod touch was more for apps that i could not find on the android market.... but now all the apps are slowly coming on here... great job

You get far more for your money with Xoom, 4G mobile internet, expandable memory up to 32GB, 1GB (PC RAM), HDMI and micro USB port, far better cameras with dual LED flash, larger and higher definition screen in a smaller circumference, stereo speakers, flash player and useful User Interface almost a PC all of which the iPad2 has NOT GOT and more...

Is sams club getting it?
afterbirth83 11 months ago
@afterbirth83 I think so, but it's hard to tell. Sam's Club will basically just sell whatever they have. They are rarely told about what they are getting in each shipment, so if there are Xooms they'll sell them. Sam's Club definitely has them, but it's not on their site and is incredibly hard to find in a store.
