ANDROID 4.0: ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) brings many improvements and significant changes to your MOTOROLA XOOM 2.

Prepare for the upgrade and learn all about the new features at Tablet Ice Cream Sandwich.

 

Splash-guard Coating A WICKED WITCH’S DREAM

Your tablet is armed with a splash-guard coating—yes, even the electrical boards inside—for extra protection against unexpected spills and pop-up rain showers. Also known as “life’s little oopsies”.

Brighter. Lighter. Thinner. WHAT ISN’T DIFFERENT?

The 10.1″ widescreen HD display is bright and packed with striking colours so everything you see pops.

And you won’t feel weighed down with an aluminum housing that’s 10% lighter and 33% thinner.

Dual-core Processor THIS TABLET KNOWS SPEED

A dual-core 1.2 GHz processor packs 20% more processing power for zippy multi-tasking and rich graphics for serious gaming.

Email, music, games, e-reading—switch between them all with ease.

Floating Notes TAKE NOTES TO A NEW LEVEL

Unlike other note-taking apps that consume your screen, the Floating notes app floats to let you take notes atop whatever you are doing.

We dumped the adhesive and still found a way to make being productive more sticky.

Review:

Well all I can say is this is by far the best tablet for sound & visual quality I’ve had the pleasure of testing so far with its excellent crisp visual quality along with the most advanced EQ on a tablet I’ve used.

The Micro HDMI socket is great for connection your tablet to your TV & if you have a long enough Micro HDMI Cable you can sey back & relax while you play all your best Android games on the big screen & believe me there are some excellent visual games available in the Android Marketplace like GTA III, Let’s Golf, Dead Trigger, Real Football 13 & many, many more…………

MOTO Cast is ok but not as good as the Samsung play to add-on!

If you have an external surround sound set up the sound is excellent through that while you are linked through the Micro HDMI socket for videos or games.

The 5MP camera is an excellent bonus along with its LED flash just a shame its standard camera capabilities are not all that quality wise but there is some good camera enhancing apps out there like the Camera360, that is a great camera app.

Its 1.2 Dual Core processor like the Samsung Tab 2 is excellent for giving it that extra productivity & smoothness.

I will leave you with this, why did Motorola not finish this tablet for example it has a slot section for where you would think a MicroSD Card & SIM Card would go but when you open it it has been blocked so nothing can be inserted :-/ ????????????????????????????????

Review:

Enough of the jargen, this is one of the 4 best Tablets I have ever had the privalidge of using, it has excellent speed along with one of the best multi-touch screens available.

The play to option on this device is excellent to send multimedia files to your TV, Xbox 360, Playstation & PC/Laptop.

The sound quality & EQ is very good but picture quality is very average for playing HD videos as they always seem to be just a bit better than SD quality.

16GB is an ok size for a tablet but they all should be 32GB as standard these days with how good the quality let alone variety of Apps & Games that are available.

Video & Picture editor apps are very good just a shame it doesn’t have a FlashPlayer built in as the Adobe FlashPlayer is obsolete on Tab’s now days :-(

For saying there are a lot of apps for watching TV & Movies the only ones that work on this Tablet are TVCatchUp, BBC iPlayer, NetFlix & Crackle so no ITV Player compatible plus their is no 4oD or Demand 5 app available as yet!

 The only thing the MicroSD is suitable for is for storing movies, music & pictures on as you can not move apps or games from your tablet to a memory card.

Also the Bonus of the Samsung Marketplace is the best & for one example GTA III 69p, you only have to look in the Google Play Marketplace to see how much it normally is ;-)
