Motorola XOOM – Dual Core Honeycomb Tablet with 10+hours Battery, HD screen, Video Recording

The Motorola XOOM has just been unveiled as the worlds first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet. The device will feature a 10.1-inch screen and will indeed ship with Google’s upcoming tablet-centric operating system.

The device looks incredibly thin, and from what we saw at the event, it will be one of the most powerful tablets on the market in 2011. Featuring a dual-core 1GHz processor, the device will first launch in a 3G version with a 4G version coming later in the year. It’s worth noting that it was said the 3G version can be easily upgraded to 4G once it’s made available.
