MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet (10.1-Inch, 32GB, Wi-Fi)
When I had xoom about a week ago I turned and I was blown away. I use a number of devices, and my first impression of Xoom is stellar. But I could see the potential, and so I continued to use it, I have some applications that I began to learn the interface and the depth of features.
Sometimes during the day 2 of Xoom Xoom, really hit me like chess and checkers, and the iPad. When you start playing chess. (Or groped to use xoom than the excitement of me), you feel overwhelmed and confused. You can not really do it without problems, you do not understand the options, it was not a good first impression. In the first game of the control (or iPad) is probably going to be pretty smooth. It is the most complex of all the options and ideas are clear and easy to understand and the game will be very similar to yours were.
But as you begin to understand xoom (or chess), it really starts to grow with you. Do you understand what you can do to make an incredible depth and possibilities of the devices. While players. (Or Lady) iPad also approximately the same experience after experience of a Xoom, have a more efficient and fun to use that in the end, Xoom has become much better than any of the competition. ; It just takes a little 'time to learn what it is and how to make the most of it.
As you can tell from the point that I was not impressed with the Xoom to start. I'm not sure it will replace my current gear for most things. But the second day I started to really "get" the device.
This is the first time when I wanted to look over and annotate PDF files that people send me. I downloaded from my email and I can actually put into memory at once, I want to xoom folder on what I want. Wow, that was kind of cool to do in the competition. However, I was able to open in PDF reader using this fantasy. (Which I easily found on the market), I spent and what I want. (With free hand drawing tool is amazing, it's a breeze!) Then I throw back the files attached to PDF format, edit and send away. Now, maybe I have not tried enough. But I do not think it possible in some of the competition. Freedom to do what you want to download the file, then send them back. With iPad I always wanted to give a file located in the set, which is fine except that it will do what I can do without the computer.
After a while ', "WOW" when I want to get some books on the device. Now, about the apple of a pain, basically, you connect your computer to open iTunes, you get the card for some regions and features, and if you do it right, you can drag all the ebooks to your readers. It 's quite easy when xoom for ebooks that I have on my computer, I simply dropped into the Dropbox, I downloaded the files easy to manage and xoom xoom I've moved to a new folder "book". I do this in the document. Devices quick, fast and simple, and more on your PC.
But what really blew me away when I want to use Ebooks to close the web browser, usually I could just download it directly from the Internet to the device. I then use the file again and moved to the correct folder. This really does not impress me, my tablet is decoupled from the computer, I can see is what you downloaded, and then use it, all without ever having to tie it to my PC. I was hooked.
With the excitement of my new computer that does not require me to use a tablet, I head to the Forum Android App Development. The developer has released a lot of interesting applications in beta, or want to promote. About the competition is the only way to get the application through a portal, sanctioned and controlled in Android (and xoom) using a browser that xoom bounced around the forum, I downloaded the application. K beta, and then I was able to install them easily. Again, this application is all about and what are not the scariest.
An example of something that struck me the other was my third with the device. I'm using the CNN application (which is free and the tablet, go check it) and watch a video of the story, which I think is really interesting. But it is one of only a teaser and the rest is. On the other. When the video on my site, I try to remember to watch them later, because it will prevent flashing. Otherwise, when I typed in the address Xoom, flash fully charged, and I was watching a video in full screen without problems.
The process of growing more comfortable with the equipment and learn what it can do so consistently over the last few days now. At each turn, I find incredible that just is not possible on the tablet. I discovered the glory of the instrument. (Custom desktop with little to show weather or news or whatever), I found some wallpapers for life. (Moving Wallpaper, moving to change and adapt to things like the weather), I still find impressive features and new applications.
One thing I want to be exposed to that may be more technical than the rest of my review is the screen. I take my pills, I started to read Ebooks on the back, and I found that the drug works quite well for this. I do most of my reading at night before bed so that the brightness of the screen is really useful to read the original. However, one thing I have always been concerned about the iPad is the eReader is the density of pixels. (That is, the number of pixels. (Or the second block of color) in the area of the screen) is very low, around 130PPI iPad (pixels per inch) is so low that I, nor my eyes it was clear to read on the device . I could see the pixels, and is not really a good reading experience. This marked the last months I'm doing most of my reading on a fourth-generation iPod touch has a smaller screen. However, there is a greater density of pixels.
However, Xoom has a very significant increase in resolution and pixel density. With its high resolution, with approximately 300,000 pixels, the pixels around 33% more than the iPad. Here's what you can see immediately when a message is very simple and easy to read on Xoom, but the other side of this is that the iPad has the impression that the differences are not. great views, and color / contrast in my case, I do not really care, I find the pixel density is 1000 times more important than the color of a small or a point of view. I feel I should talk about it.
My point in the last paragraph of the Xoom is a great device for displaying any text that exceeds the resolution of the decline. If you are looking for a tablet for reading newspapers and books and on your site, then you should definitely do Xoom or other grain, the higher resolution display. In my opinion, with a resolution of 2 iPad / iPad just is not cut out for.
