Industry-leading tablet will be available in Canada beginning April 2011

TORONTO, March 21 /CNW/ – Motorola Mobility Canada today announced the MOTOROLA XOOM Wi-Fi will be available in Canada this April. MOTOROLA XOOM was called “the most potentially disruptive technology” by CNET at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, and delivers a new type of mobile computing experience on a 10.1″ HD display – higher resolution and more screen size in a smaller package than the leading competitor – with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).

MOTOROLA XOOM showcases the innovations of the Honeycomb user experience – including widgets, true multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization – on a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display, enabling video content that’s richer and clearer than ever before. With a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, MOTOROLA XOOM delivers exceptionally fast web-browsing performance. The latest Google™ Mobile services include Google Maps™ 5.0 with 3D interaction, and access over 150,000 apps from Android Market™. MOTOROLA XOOM also features full support for features such as tabbed browsing, bookmark syncing and Adobe® Flash® Player1 to deliver a rich and powerful web browsing experience.

“MOTOROLA XOOM brings PC-like power to a tablet, providing consumers with an easy-to-use, lightning fast experience designed with fun and productivity in mind, and we’re thrilled to bring it to Canadians,” said Jeff Miller, corporate vice president, Motorola Mobility.

With 1280×800 resolution to support HD video and with HDMI out; a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for HD video capture and 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats; and a built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting, MOTOROLA XOOM is leading the tablet revolution. MOTOROLA XOOM supports up to 10 hours of video playback and charges in nearly half the time of competitive tablets on the market.

  • A Standard Dock for watching video content or listening to music through external speakers as the device charges

Motorola MotoACTV – Review

Do I like using the MotoActv? The answer is Yes. In fact I can't see myself without this when I'm at the gym anymore. I no longer have to worry about my phone dropping on the floor and accidentally dropping the dumbell on it for an inadvertent test of build quality. It is useful for gym-rats or runners alike.

  1. I think the best way for Motorola Xoom to compete with iPad is by dropping their price. It is very hard for consumers to try something new since the Tablet device was an innovation of Apple. We all know how good the features of Xoom are but since people only knows one brand when it comes to tablets, all of this will go into waste.
