I’ve been using the Motorola XOOM for just over a day now, and I thought I’d share my initial thoughts.

First off, the XOOM is quite heavy as it weighs 730grams, which is 130grams more than its main rivals: the [...]

Motorola’s foray into the Android tablet market – the 10.1-inch Motorola Xoom – is set to land on Australian shores in May, thanks to Telstra.
