CNET Tech Review: Will the Xoom make you unfriend your iPad?

[courageous917]

fake windows 7



[royhuson]

You dont need a dock for video out on the Xoom , schoolboy mistake !

[Fletcherismine]

I need it so bad for some purposes but i cant afford it . Im such poor guy :/. Anyone that DOESNT use this anymore and willing to give it to me for free ? :3

[wonnthree]

Molly wood has horse teeth....anyway I'm getting my zoom on Wednesday ..can't wait

[nimfez]

beats by dres are expensive plastic sennhieser are amazing and there 1/4 the price

[LostFaceify]

Why isnt she in the kitchen?

[PainisCupcakeee]

@LostFaceify good luck getting laid with that attitude :P

[matthewsflower1]

I got mine from playbookforfree.co.uk for free. All you have to do is sign up and do an offer then get other people to do the same. It's that simple.

[MTLdigital]

Cant beat the IPAD....

[killertone83]

Xoom is ugly from the back... Motorola used to make the best phones but android is a different story, times r changing... everyone has a strong case for themselves

[Anavengertg]

@DroidNoid Lol buh bye. No one will miss you bwahahaha~!

[pracasify]

The xoom is amazing. Flash is hands down amazing and opens up so many possibilities, and the duel core processor makes it SOO fast. My friend showed me this site that is giving them away for free to spread awareness. MX4Free d0t info. I don't know how many they have left though. Anyways, It just came in the mail and i am absolutely loving it

[amazingdany]

@pracasify Is is desktop Internet on it aka real Internet or lame-o mobile web?

[mechanicjoe]

will it?

[madmaxmadog]

the size of these tablets is confusing to me....are they trying to be as big as a laptop or as small as a phone? also why anyone would buy a tablet instead of a laptop is beyond me.... it's not like you can fit the thing in your pocket.

[dragonmybutt]

press 2....... UP AND DOWN!!!!!!

[henik9]

Go join the peace corps commie!

[barryy2k94]

please dont compare this 2 the ipad. Ipad is more advanced

[DAltar]

@barryy2k94 no, its not..your a macfag, go kill yourself

[ajatkinson2004]

@barryy2k94 as in half the RAM or more advanced meaning a way shittier camera?

[t4705mb6]

I saw this child's toy and just laughed and laughed and.....LAUGHED! Millions of people die every day from thirst, starvation and no medical care. They don't die because they're stupid, they die because they're crushed and USED - just like Xoom buyers. How about doing something worthwhile with your money besides feeding your damaged egos? People are soooooo SICK - and getting MUCH sicker!

[ericblr]

@t4705mb6 your such an arrogant bastard

[t4705mb6]

@ericblr Yeah. Don't you just HATE people who actually think?

[ericblr]

@t4705mb6 So, when is the last time you gave money to the homeless? Volunteer at a soup kitchen? Give to charity? I'm sure you have right? Since you seem to be so concerned about the poor and starving.

[t4705mb6]

@ericblr Took a look at your channel. You're not worth the effort of a response. Go back to farting in faces for fun.

[ericblr]

@t4705mb6 Because you dont have one.

[t4705mb6]

@ericblr I almost fell on the floor laughing at THIS stupidity. Yes, your right. BOO HOO HOO!

[DaBossk]

holy fucking shit what has the human race become. this video makes me severely angry with every piece of stupid fucking dialogue

[eni98olu]

gettin the mototola xoom!

[MrDrewboggess]

How can they give both iphones 5 out of 5 points for multimedia and web browsing when there is no flash? That has to be biased. Just saying.

[mac11reloaded]

I own a xoom. much better then I pad 2 if u think otherwise u probably don't own one or u an apple sucker truthfully the only thing apple has over the xoom is I pad has alot more apps to choose from then xoom only thing stopping ppl from buy is the price and to,me its worth it the product is built much better then the other tablets out there

[KingHake]

the Keyboard in 3:03 have 1 second delay :S

[stevenojops]

iPad 2 way better

[stevenojops]

iPad 2 way better

[nipponia1]

samsung tab 10.1 si motorola zoom is la fel

[bellerophon602]

The Xoom has already been dismissed by the industry as a total failure.

Wait for the next egg Motorola will lay.

[p3rrypm]

The biggest problem is that you're sending this data over the air for anyone to steal!

[MrOracos]

xoom is 16:9 so its wide and not good for gaming

[KlingonSpider]

@MrOracos the xoom is 16:10

[MrOracos]

@KlingonSpider np

its still wide

[glennmelf]

please check out my ipad stand at youtube.com/watch?v=pqhUMrbw3J­0

ipad2stand.co.uk thank you

[guycd1]

The Xoom is obviously superior for a vast number of reasons. Only people who think the ipad competes are obviously mad apple fans. I mean for the same price as the ipad you can have a xoom basically... Only difference is you don't have to deal with shitty Apple OS and using apple software on your pc/unless your already using some mac, in which case, learn to PC. Apple software is known to fail horribly, Android is getting stronger, easy choice lol.

[ultravas]

They're really pushing the xoom huh? I mean, i'm no apple fanboy but even I see that the iPad, at least FOR NOW is the faster tablet...

[rorochido1]

things are berely getting hot but not there yet, rather coolect stamps than get these things.

[YoungFl0]

just ordered mine today coming next week :D:D

[NJ1988]

the xoom looks awesome

[mta415]

@NJ1988

[mta415]

@NJ1988 the xoom IS awesome!

[pwnagekills71]

Apple didnt make the first tablet, they just made it more popular.. Retards

[WotTehPhok]

@pwnagekills71 ikh

[neoarcadezr]

i compered my att iphone 4 speed with Verizon iphone 4 and i beat it so haaa and i never had dropped calls with my att iphone 4

[TheFashizy]

Molly Wood. Hmm

[kcolin6701]

i think apple business wise is genius. They market simple, easy to use, quality products which appeal to the majority of the population. But not everyone needs a dumbed down version of a product. Lets face it most people aren't too technology inclined and thats why products like the iphone, ipad, macbook are so popular.

[anurek123]

@kcolin6701 yeah i totally agree. and they come up with these "must have" accessories lol. compared to other tabs apple has a lot of faults in the tab. but its the hip thing and everyone is curious and they buy it because someone else they know has one hahah :P

[zone1480]

The ipad is like jail.

[chana420]

IPAD = Original.............end.



[woodzy0211]

@chana420 iPad was not the original tablet. And, the iPad is just a huge iPod... I like Apple, but they need to get some creativity.

[bdegrande]

@woodzy0211 an operating system so simple a four year old can use it is probably the most creative thing done in the computer industry in the last 30 years, which is why the iPad made people interested in a form factor that had been tried without success many times previously.

[sukhrajchhokar]

@chana420 are you retarded or just an apple fan boy? If the second option that automatically makes you option 1. The day apple come out with something original will the day! They just market products to thick people and make them easy to use due to them being for thick people and then the thick people think apple thought of the idea! People like you thick the iphone was the first "smartphone"!

[scottyupiner]

@chana420 don't be so ignorant, there were other tablets before the ipad, jus becuase apple made one doesn't make it original

[bdashiz]

did she just say processor porn? 1:02

[iTutoriallz]

@bdashiz i think soo.. hahah

[Xeon97ify]

@bdashiz Of course, Hence her last name: "Wood"

[RyanWood2012]

@Xeon97ify My last name is Wood bitch

[Xeon97ify]

@RyanWood2012 Imma call you Ryan Penis :D

[cbrandom]

Why were your iPhones all 3G and not 4G?

[cbrandom]

I unfriend people cause they're douchebags. Really? This was a fucking Doctoral research project? Cure cancer or something you fucking Acadumbfucks.

[4everhamsters]

thumbs up if u saw raywilliamjohnson at 03:18

[Abdulp09]

Great video :)

[BeatXLRIx]

" AMD Fusion, so you don't have to buy a separate graphics card " should've specified that option for desktops. Lol its all embedded. On a laptop that is.

[daijizai]

@BeatXLRIx Not true. Many laptops now have swappable GPUs. They are just a pain in the butt to get to.

[AtactHD]

isnt the xoom like $900 lol

[ClinchMovie]

@AtactHD Rumored that wi-fi only version will run at $540. I'm learning Android development, and i think i'm going to get one for "development purposes" :P

[AtactHD]

@ClinchMovie haha nice

[philipzown7]

the ipad don't hav a cam why the fuck wud u not hav one on it? i knw its a tablet but other tablets has em

[huzaifa576]

i wish i had a motorola xoom

[62ErDi62]

@kikoroyeca actually the android market have 330.000 apps...

[bitesizepankakes]

@62ErDi62 If we're being picky, android market has about 270,000 apps (several of which are malware), iPad has over 400,000—We're talking about tablet specific apps here, where honeycomb has maybe 100, which, if we're being VERY generous, may grow to 300ish by the time iPad 2 hits stores., whereas iPad 2 has, the aforementioned 65,000 which will continue to grow as the iPad's popularity does... which it will.

[huzaifa576]

@bitesizepankakes you are a fucking apple fanboy so fuck off fucking bitch you fuckedy fuckedy fuckin bitch

[bitesizepankakes]

@huzaifa576 Wow. Thanks for your "insight". I am an Apple fan, not a fanboy. I own Mac's and an iPhone, but also use Nokia, and haven't brought an iPad, because I can't really see that i need one. I am simply reporting facts, nothing more. Turns out I was being generous. Android market only officially has 150,000 apps. You can check for yourself, google Eric Schmidt’s MWC keynote

[Anavengertg]

@huzaifa576 Lol, the iPad crushes the Zoom in almost every performance test. 

[rcnacura]

Can I apply for Jasmine's position?? I've been trying to work fpr cbs interactive in SF for forever!!

[huzaifa576]

@KikoRoyeca are you fuckin idiotic?do you think google has only 100 apps on its android market?CLEARLY APPLE FANBOY HERE

[PAKISRULEZ]

need more sexy chick :D she is too old

[Intronetz]

@PAKISRULEZ Molly Wood is amazing.

[threedfreek]

I came to watch the xoom and you bore me with "which iphone is the best" answer, neither.

[survivorevil]

ipad has a really optimized and solid system but its getting obsolete. Compared with honeycombs it lacks a LOT of features. Hopefully apple comes up with a major update

[Snipza]

@survivorevil an update like ipad 2? lmao.

[survivorevil]

@Snipza i said an IOS update dumb not a hardware update

[Snipza]

@survivorevil u never said anything regarding hardware.... and idk how my reply constituted such a harsh response. haha

[lliifvee]

Ipad is like Call of Duty and all those other tablets are like (bf bad company, medal of honor ect.) they look good on paper but they suck and everyone will just go back to the original(ipad) so copycats stop makin ipads with diff names just save ur money and go to sleep

[User1234510]

@lliifvee comparing tablets to games shows how stupid you are

[deathpwnzer]

@lliifvee excuse me i would just like to make you feel like a dipshit...now

if what you say is true that they are just copying then i suppose all current cars are just inferior copies of the original?? and all computers and macs are just inferior knockoffs of the original computer? this argument is fundamentally flawed as well is your mind anyone who actually owns both an ipad2 and xoom ((i.e)me) knows that neither are really better than the other so stop lying to urself

[scottyupiner]

@lliifvee are you a retard? the ipad was not the first tablet dummy, and im sure MOH came before COD, so why don't you get your facts right befroe you coment

[rubenandpimslapping]

@scottyupiner you can say what you want, you can hate the ipad and Apple but it was the first tablet that successfully integrated to the mainstream market, it wasn't the first that's true though (sorry if my english isn't that good)

[scottyupiner]

@rubenandpimslapping sry i went abit overboard there :/, what i mean is, i don't h8 apple, but there were good, powerful tablets before the ipad (eg. nvidia tegra) but when the ipad comes out some people think it was the best thing and all other tablets are copies, but i see your point

[rubenandpimslapping]

@scottyupiner yeah i know what you mean but those people never do any research what so ever..

and no offense @lliifvee seriously cod better than battlefield??? yeah sure straight bullets and claymores that have a range of thousand miles is so much better than tanks blowing up crashing helicopters right in front of you, you made a good point there!(sarcasm) hmmmm i remember medal of honor WAY before call of duty did i time travel or what?

[fareast20]

Apple fanboy are like those jerks who drive Mercedes. They think owning a Iphone/ipad(Mercedes) make them better than everyone so they look down on people. I will never buy a Iphone/ipad(Mercedes) because I'm not those type of people.

[ih8mesomenigs]

@fareast20 - we get it, you're poor

[fareast20]

@ih8mesomenigs Even if I had 900million I wouldn't wast it on a Mercedes nor will I wast it on a iphone/ipad. Like I said I'm not like your type of "people"

[stanson902]

@fareast20 not exactly true, apple is just better..simply put, and a lot of people and all kinds of people buy apple products, not just the rich,,,

[mangoking101]

@stanson902 Actually, it isn't the rich that buy apple. It is the ignorant people that usually buy apple. Apple makes everything simple and "Magical" to put it into their own words. With Android, you actually have to know what you're doing because there is some degree of complexity to everything. People buy apple because it is easy to use and because Apple can do and say whatever they want and people will still want to buy their products.

[bdegrande]

@mangoking101 Actually, that is exactly backwards. Tech journalists, podcasters, etc. who are very familiar with tech use Apples in far higher percentages than the general population - not the ignorant. In my case, I go back to the Apple ][ and CP/M and have managed a Fortune 500 PC support area. I have used Windows (and DOS, and Android) since they first existed and Linux for 15 years. I have no trouble handling command lines, etc, - and Apple's OSs are better, not just simpler.

[jdeucexx]

the ipad 1 and xoom weigh the same...

[bo6roo5]

1:02 process or porn??

[Alexplus20]

NOt a chance. And I don't really like the Ipad (Sorry Steve Jobs).

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

He's wrong on the Sony YB. If you bump the HP DM1z specs to the SOny , you're still getting about $100 less. With sony though, you get a slower 5400 rpm HHD, weaker battery, 32bit instead of 64bit Win 7, and a weaker speaker. They haven't done a review to know all this.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

Motorola and Verizon are sucking up for the suckers that wants the Xoom so bad . Once the Ipad 2 is out , they will release the wifi only Xoom price match the Ipad 2.

[mosyemessy1988]

omg, this is so stupid. prize fight, over two iphones 4?!?!

you can easily have the prize fight over the carriers, not the phone. it is the same phone for god's sake. what the hell is the point? OMFG.

[zombiepizzaparty]

Wow, Dan Ackerman... that hat you're wearing is a great way of warning women that you're about to rape them.

[dmix09]

molly you're purrrrty :3

[dynamite2T]

Very nice tablet, but two things that's keeping me from buying it:

1. I don't want a two year contract with Verizon

2. I'm not going to pay $800 for a tablet, any tablet at that!

[valerakukatov]

@dynamite2T if you pay 800 there is no contract.

[CannibalTr0ll]

xoom wins. The iPad 2 is getting only minor updates.

[Tr1pTr0p]

21:00 The Verizon iPhone has a yellowish tint...

???

[arzo2000]

It looks like Molly had a bad sunburn :-)

[masterkiller247]

Of course the xoom has better specs, You cant compare a 10 month old tablet (ipad) to a new technology tablet that just came out (xoom). But for some reason the old ipad is still more smooth in some scenarios, When the ipad 2 comes out than it will be a even and fair match.

[ceddyced39]

I can't believe how choppy the scrolling was.

[Constantine769]

@ceddyced39 Remember, the iPad 2 doesn't offer widgets or customization of the screen so it has more to process on the get go. All you get are icons on the iPad 2. I was on the fence for a couple of months but this review by TechHarvest helped me decide. Probably one of the least biased comparisons out there.

[PrometheanRunGood]

@ceddyced39 It looks choppy because the camera's capture rate and the tablet's refresh rate is off sync. You get the same effect if you film the TV with a camera.

[clophie]

Right now as it stands it is not fair to compare Honeycomb to anything. Early adopters already see the potential of Honeycomb and that it is here to stay. That being said, come Spring early summer everyone that is curious about Android Honeycomb will see that it is a big threat to apple and the almighty ipads and ios. This is a good thing because Google just up the bar and that good enough is no longer good. This time around it's New Tools New Rules. See you in a couple of months fanboys.

[ApplianceAdvice]

The iPhone rocks, the 4gs in june will be even better!

[2012sDude]

WiFi ADVICE ? MY SHIT... as long as u dont join china hotspot then u r safe.

[beastfulnite]

did she say "processor porn" on 1:03

[nick29oz]

she looks swetie and dirty

[mrpaintballfan]

lol dont even think ipad 2 is gonna be better. its not even gonna have flash. or any extra ports. its just gonna be faster. brainwashed apple freaks.

[Techlur]

@mrpaintballfan It doesn't need flash. Apple would lose money if others can make flash games rather than making Apps.

Anything you could do in flash, there is an App for.

Honestly tell me what ports you will actually use on here. You can connect to HDMI if that's your complain.

[kahuna3901]

i un-friended my ipad long before honeycomb

[corvettesarebetter]

Please fix your BlackBerry app! I want to read the full story and it keeps saying that the url is invalid. Please fix asap!

I have one questions! How many time can you drop this puppy(Ipad) before it quits working?

[PepitoIngles]

Dan, seriously loose the hats.

[Dmt4030]

XooM!!

[Stickycover]

He was showing off his password for the wifi hotspot....

[Habbloxian]

@Stickycover So? Not like you're gonna connect to a Viacom-owned network anyway...

23:40 Benito's ancient phone XD.

[hanifmacca]

brian, get fitted shirts!

[Gregz0r1]

Why do I LOL when ever I hear "ring-a-ding-a-ling-tong"?

[Gregz0r1]

Haha. I love Brian Cooley's delivery style!

[MyHD2AndOthers]

Look how choppy Android is. You would think that these company's would optimize there tablets so the user would experience a nice and fun smooth operation system, but NOOO apple is the only company that has a really smooth tablet interface. So ill go with apple, they have updates that are actually useful and they care about the customer

[yummy1234098]

ha 23:16 - 23:30 shows att connection two bars and verizon 5 bars....and i though att had more bars in more places?

[ECHEN168]

Nice hat, Dan...

[post3144]

Why the hell would you squeeze your phone hard to make the connection bad..? You're retarded for even saying that round was the same...

[paulalger11]

the xoom will probably make you unfriend your ipad, but the ipad 2 will make you unfriend your xoom.

[uptdc2008]

@paulalger11 ipad 2 wont even be much different then the 1st one, ive read on it sooooo i think the xoom wins this

[khunopie]

Molly, u get bonus points for fabulosity today

[scholesville]

no Sd slot for iPad2, boo.... looks like Xoom is my choice...

[l0gically]

At $800, Motorola must have been smoking something. Yes, I'd maybe like a 10" tablet, and yes, maybe I'd like the Honeycomb 3.0 OS....but NOT FOR $800!!

[crammage]

@KarinaKrell cuck my sock
