It's not an oversized phone with tablet stuff tacked on; this 10.1-inch device is the first slate that's powered by Android 3.0, an OS built from the ground up with larger screens in mind."</em></p><p><object width="600" height="360" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/srZ3iQvtiqY&feature=player_embedded&ap=%26fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/srZ3iQvtiqY&feature=player_embedded&ap=%26fmt=18" /></object></p><p>A somewhat disappointing early review. While Android 3.0 (and up) is where tablets need to be, I do wonder if Motorola rushed the Xoom to market too soon - before the bugs were squashed. As is often the case, the end user gets to be an unofficial beta tester, and pays a pretty penny for the privilege.</p>
