Motorola Xoom For Dummies

It's no surprise that CNET granted the Xoom one of the coveted "CES 2011 Best of Show" awards. This book is for people who want to get the most from the latest in tablet technology. The Motorola Xoom tablet aims at the iPad with both barrels. The Xoom boasts more powerful hardware than the iPad, with front- and rear-facing cameras, a larger screen, higher resolution, and a more powerful, dual-core CPU. Second, the Xoom is the first device to run Android 3.0, created specifically for tablets. Competing Android tablets only run Android 2.2, which Google designed for cell phones and their smaller screens. With its more powerful hardware, Android's fast-growing user base, and the strength of Verizon's network, the Motorola Xoom is the new tablet to beat. There is a compelling draw to such technology, and an obvious popularity. Being new as both a product and a technology, the Xoom requires careful explaining.

This book documents the features of the Xoom, approaching them from the point of view of a smart person who is intimidated by the technology and the lack of online support. All topics for the Xoom are covered. The reader will want to keep this book close at hand, referring to it often as they explore the many features of their Xoom.
