Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition hands on video demo

THE INQUIRER met up with US tablet maker Motorola earlier today in central London where we got up close and personal with the Xoom 2 tablet.

In the video above we take a few minutes to look at the smaller of the two models. It's 8.2in as opposed to 10.1in and is called the Media Edition. The tablet comes with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, a Texas Instruments 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

Some things we forgot to mention in the demonstration are the microHDMI port, splash guard technology and the Motocast app for remote file access. The tablet will be available to buy within the next few weeks priced at around £360.

We also got a look at the larger Xoom 2 so be sure to check out our hands-on review of both tablets. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2122541/motorola-xoom-hands-review

@MaxTheMasterful This isn't my term, it the term they used to describe it! Okay. It's not like i don't understand what they're trying to say but it's just the same as saying I have a car with a 1 gallon fuel tank. It's useless, but it's still a car!

@noreplyism Well the term you used is very ambiguous. These machines are all media capable because they are capable of producing rich media. Whether they have enough storage to store what a consumer needs is debatable.

@MaxTheMasterful My comment is true of iPads too. These lazy hardware manufacturers seem to think whatever is good enough for others is good enough for them. Give it 128GB internal memory, then we'll start thinking about calling it 'media capable'.

@noreplyism iPad's come with 16Gb of storage too and they're considered "media capable".

Wow a massive 16GB. Hardly media capable is it with such a small amount of storage.

Nice quick overview though so thanks.
