2011-03-28
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and we're just gonna keep these unboxings rolling today I just got this Motorola Xoom it's the Wi-Fi only version I really wasn't interested in the 3G model that existed before this being up here in Toronto I had absolutely no need for a verizon contract if I could even get one my smartphone can tether anyways or act as a Wi-Fi hotspot I should say so I had no need for a data contract even if it was available anyways I'm super excited to get my hands on this I've had a Galaxy S smartphone for a while I've had iPads I've had I phones I've had it all and so I really want to see how this tablet stacks up to what's already out there most importantly how it stacks up against the iPad 2 getting back to the unboxing we've got some paperwork from Motorola a little QuickStart guide by the looks of it as you know the Motorola Xoom has support for Adobe Flash but it's kind of weird because that pamphlet states that it doesn't come that way out of the box but flash support is coming soon that's a strange thing I'm not sure why they did that that way here's our USB cable sure everybody has seen one of these I believe it's micro USB on the other side and next we've got the power adapter it looks like a travel style with the fold up to power prongs and what looks like the world's smallest connector on the other side straightforward stuff you've seen it all before nothing else in this box let's get to the unit itself and I'm having an incredible amount of difficulty getting this plastic off of here so I'm gonna go off camera and come back once it's all off there we go finally we got the naked tablet itself now this is not going to be a full review after all the title says unboxing I'm gonna go back to the drawing board and do a proper review on this device and come back hopefully real soon I'm gonna put this tablet up against the iPad to see the pros and cons because as we all know that's where the competition is right now it seems to be between this Motorola in the iPad 2 anyway as you see it's got a quick web browser really straightforward stuff obviously you can notice the different aspect ratio this one has a proper 16 by 9 ratio perfect for HD video content you see there's a brand new email app if you're familiar with Android you got a brand new marketplace scrollable widgets but like I said before I'm not going to go too deep into this right now because the review is going to be extensive and cover everything as well as compare the device to other stuff that's on the market anyway let's get a closer look at the different buttons around the device obviously volume up and down on the left hand side the right hand side has nothing on it the bottom of the device has your sync cable port power as well as a mini HDMI and the top side has your headphone jack as well as your expansion port you can see the 5 megapixel camera on the back a flash your speaker as well as your power button come to the channel and subscribe for the full review coming up
