Telestra in partnership with Motorola - Launch Motorola Xoom to Australia


Telestra in partnership with Motorola - Launch Motorola Xoom to Australia

The highly anticipated Xoom tablet by Motorola is going to be launched in Australia in the month of May (Possibly early May) as Telestra has announced its partnership with Motorola for the launch of Xoom Tablet. However an RRP or Telstra plans have yet to be revealed.

Australian tech experts have anxiously awaited the Xoom’s arrival after it received an impressive reception at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this year. CNET, who tagged CES 2011 as a ‘tablet feast’, gave the Xoom the ‘best of show’ award.

To start with, the 10.1-inch Xoom packs robust hardware including a 1GHz dual-core processor, 32 GB of on-board memory and 1GB of RAM.

It also runs on Android’s 3.0 Honeycomb platform, which has been built from top to bottom specifically for tablet functionality and multi-tasking (think a customisable home-screen with moveable widgets, notifications and tabbed browsing). According to Motorola, the software will also jumpstart the global development of apps for the Android ecosystem, already sitting at over 150,000 apps.


The Xoom also features an HD widescreen 1280x800 display, front-facing (2-megapixel) and rear-facing (5-megapixel) cameras, Adobe Flash Player 10.2 (downloadable from Android App Market), a built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting. It supports up to 10 hours of video playback and charges in 3.5 hours.
