Motorola hit the tablet market with a fantastic tablet that has something for everyone. Find more information about the features included on the Xoom, as well as accessories available at www.discountcell.com.

The Motorola Xoom is making its name in the tablet market by having a huge variety of features, incredibly powerful hardware and the first tablet to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the operating system designed exclusively for tablets. Many people have complained about apps and widgets being stretched to fill the tablet screen and Google made sure this does not happen with Honeycomb. Google also redesigned the keyboard, making it more spacious, more keys were added and multitouch is supported for faster typing. For individuals who prefer physical keyboards, the Xoom has the option to connect a keyboard with the USB port or Bluetooth. As far as the hardware, the dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz processor and 1024MB of DDR2 RAM allow the Xoom to run many apps at once with no problem. With 32GB of internal memory and an external memory card slot that supports up to a 32GB card, there's plenty of room to store apps. The Xoom runs on Verizon Wireless 3G network, but has a slot available for the 4G LTE SIM card when Verizon releases it later this year.

The large 10.1-inch touch screen looks fantastic. The high resolution WXGA display with 1280x800 pixel resolution allows for crisp and easy to read text and incredible graphics. The colors don't change when viewed at different angles; in fact, the Xoom has some of the best viewing angles of any tablet on the market. The capacitive touch response is fast and consistent. The Xoom also comes with 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and digital zoom on the back, 720p HD video capture and a 2-megapixel front camera for video chatting. The pictures are about on par with smart phone level quality, and the video quality is great. With Adobe Flash 10.1 support, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS with Google Maps, a fantastic multimedia player and dual speakers, Motorola has designed a fantastic product with everything any user would need.

Protecting the Motorola Xoom should be every users first priority. Protective covers are a great way to protect the device and add style without adding bulk. Covers come in a large variety of colors, materials and patterns, so every user can find one that fits their personality. The covers are designed specifically for the Motorola Xoom, so every button and port is open and easily accessible. Covers also come in soft sleeves or hard plastic covers. Sleeves easily slip over the Xoom, yet stay put once they're in place. Hard covers come in two different pieces that snap into place around the Xoom. Even with heavy usage, keep your investment looking as great as the day you bought it.

Utilize the Bluetooth feature while video chatting, listening to music or watching videos with a Bluetooth headset. A great Bluetooth headset is the Naztech NoiseHush N700. The NoiseHush N700 Bluetooth Headset features Noise-Canceling Technology for crystal clear conversations. Block more external environmental noise with the N700 compared to other Motorola Xoom Bluetooth headsets. The over-head design allows this hands free unit to balance on your head reducing fatigue. Ease of use is a priority with multi-function buttons controlling all features such as Call Waiting, 3-Way Calling, Voice Activated Dialing (with enabled phones), Volume Control, Answer, End, and Redial.
