Motorola Xoom Full Review
Editor's Note: This review was updated on 5/24/11 to reflect the Honeycomb 3.1 updateCan the Motorola Xoom possibly live up to the hype? It was dubbed an iPad killer before anyone got his or her hands on it. It was priced $800 at launch, making it more expensive than a comparable iPad. The folks behind the Droid smartphone make it, and the Droid was arguably the first Android handset to rival the iPhone. It is also the first tablet to feature an operating system developed by Google specifically for tablets.
