well hi I'm Vlad from the verge take a look at a motorola xoom to the stan inch android tablet will be known as the droid xyboard and so by verizon in the US and also has a smaller sibling an eight point two inch zoom to media edition with almost identical specs speaking of which the zoom to has a new IPS LCD display at one point to give hers dual-core processor gigabyte of ram 16 gigabytes of storage the xyboard in the US will come with LTE connectivity but a zoom too and it's media edition both Wi-Fi only relative to the original zoom it replaces the zoom to is thirty-three percent thinner ten percent lighter which means it matches the measurements of the ipad 2 but it's still a little bit thicker and about 40 grams heavier than the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 the curved corners of the zoom have been replaced by a more angular trim down look which is distinctive but doesn't really improve the ergonomics of the tablet the quality is great however I couldn't get it to creak or flex at all the aluminum back feel strong and the rubberized sides will protect from bumps I do have to take issue with the placement of the power button it's it's too closer to the volume rocker and is usually a massive pain to find and activate as with the original zoom the display up front is covered by Gorilla Glass what's new here is that it's an IPS LCD which looks far brighter and more natural ian angles and resume to a very good although the backlight sometimes overwhelms the image will you look at it from the side so i'm quite on the level the ipad at the ipad 2 but it matches the IPS panels they can find on asus eee pad android tablets the cameron resume is surprisingly good you can take great photos in natural light and isn't too horrible in low-light situations either establish cameras go this is one of the best I've seen yet video recording is also good resume to does it at 30 frames a second and 720p resolution and usually produce his nice and clear results the real coliseo for this tablet as with most honeycomb tablets is actually in software but those responsiveness in the home screen is improved from the zoo i found a lot of lag and stutter in some of the core apps things like gmail the official twitter client and the browser animations on the zoom to aren't anywhere near as fluid as it should be and scrolling and transitions rarely look fluid that's a letdown when you consider how much pro sink power is it a zoom to disposal but if you want to look on the bright side Motorola has already promised an android 4.0 upgrade for this tablet so these problems may be only temporary I'm very good thing about the zoom to software is multicast this app syncs up to your PC and lets you remotely browse inside log files onto the tablet you can stream video or music over the Internet or you can opt to download those files installing is cinch or all of the files you need on the tablet already and you just connected via USB and it works above PC and Mac it's going to roll the second attempt at building honeycomb tablet the zoom to is a vast upgrade over its predecessor but the limitations of its platform including a persistent lack of tablet-optimized applications and some sluggish performance of its own hold it back the ipad 2 remains the best choice on tablet market today but if you have to have an Android tablet and recommend Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 head of zoom to
