the buid quality on that HP is going to be its weakness just like the Asus and the Toshiba...look at their laptops and the build quality...tons of plastic, I don't think anything soon will compare to the Motorola Xoom...
hmm, I'm really thinking of buying this instead of an IPad 2....but I'm wondering if I buy the wi-fi version do I have to still contract with verizon?

Android 3.0 will ultimately beat the iPad, it took android for smartphones about a year and a half to beat the iPhone but now android is king among smartphones.
Apple is good but they can't possibly compete against 10 or 15 manufacturers that'll bring really good android tablets to market
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm confused... I think you were trying to talk up the zoom but u kept showing how it fails..
16 apps
YouTube didn't open correctly
You had to try buttons 2 or 3 times
It screen rotates like crap
You can install apps that just don't work
Not to mention that approximately 250 android apps were recently found to have malware imbedded in them.. Because it is an open source market area.... Don't do your banking on it guys..
@Kreapen1 Not really. Just doing an overview of the operating system. I may have came off that way, but it was mainly because I was excited lol. But like anything else Google releases, Honeycomb is still a large beta and has issues.
@BlackPrince310 I've been doing a lot of research into the Xoom and I appreciate your showing the flows and limitations of the apps at the beginning of the year. Currently, trying to decide between going ahead and getting the Xoom or waiting for the Xoom 2. Looks like the Xoom FE has changed some of the specs and the design...hear the speakers are now crappy. I'd be interested in knowing if any of the apps you displayed have been improved on the Xoom since the time of this review??
@Kreapen1 You are obviously just an Apple Fanboy..go buy your repackaged ipad and waste your money.
Apple is like a socialist compared to Android being a capitalist.
Apple believes in controlling everything. Hardware, software, and everything else. Whereas, Android is a software OS that can be put on devices from many different device manufacturers. For those not familiar with economics… This is called competition.
@OSUinOKC Complete opposite, I'm against apple computers and devices. At the time I only have there phone but I was going to get a xoom until I saw this video.
Fact is apple is offering a better deal between the market for a better price.
I was close to buy a samsung galaxy when they were released and held out for the next gen tablet to run a android system BUT cost of a xoom to what is being offered in support isnt there.
So no not a fan boy but I do admire how tough you are to run your mouth
@Kreapen1 It's got around 37 apps right now that developers have specifically optimized for android 3.0, but you can still use apps from the marketplace not optimized for tablets (but there has been an issue with some of these). More optimized apps will come and the apps not optimized and don't work on honeycomb will be updated so they'll work fine on xoom at some point. However, do you really even need apps (besides netflix cause of silverlight) when you've got full fledged flash?
@Kreapen1 also it's not that hard to distinguish apps that could have malware in them. Don't tons and tons of Apple accounts get hacked all the time and people buy tons at the app store/itunes store whatever other stores accept Apple accounts. And I guarantee that of the 400,000 apple apps at least 250 have malware or something equivalent.
****Does the Browser has Split View like the Maxthon Browser where you can view 2 pages at the same time ie, a youtube video on the left and yahoo news on the right.
Notice how he didn't he didn't show you that when choosing a picture you got from the Internet or a personal picture. The reason is the Xoom has issues with image resizing. That really sucks, honeycomb fail
I'm an avid follower of Android news, tech and all that stuff. Up until now, I've never seen how Honeycomb operates for the most part. Your video does a good job of that. Very thorough video. Keep up the good work!
I saw this yesterday and played around with it for a while really nice ui for a tablet,ios is going to need to modify but this isnt attractively priced
I'll probably just wait 2 months to get this. Should be plenty of apps by then. I don't need hundreds of thousands of apps, just a few apps with quality.
You are a good reviewer. I look forward to seeing more and more videos from you in the future. Hopefully you can get some test devices from companies so that you can get a wide variety of comparisons and information out. But either way, your videos ar on topic and informative. Good work.
@rahmanroni I think apple iPhone4 can do all those because for some reason any other iPhone older than 4 can't video chat not even with fring or oovoo
This is nice, but I still to find a good use for a tablet, maybe after college I might get one, for now I think I can do anything I could on a tablet on my Macbook, I wonder if there will ever be an android laptop now that I think about it....?
Okay, I think u said it DOESN'T have flash, it does. FUCK ALL APPLE PEOPLE!!!! You have to jailbreak it to look like android:)
