Motorola has showed of Motorola Xoom 2 and Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition, two new tablets powered by Android Honeycomb. The Xoom 2, like the original, sports a 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) display, dressed in Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) OS. This Samsung-rivalling screen comes powered by a decent 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM, despite the device measuring in at just 8.8mm-thick. Other confirmed specs include: a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and 16GB of built-in memory. Motorola also unveiled the Xoom 2 Media Edition, which arrives touting a smaller 8.2-inch capacitive screen. Having been “ optimised for entertainment”, this display boasts a 178 degree viewing angle, and a 20 percent graphics boost. Motorola reckons the Xoom 2 is 100g lighter than its predecessor and the Xoom 2 is lighter than a paperback. They also have a new design, showing off angled shoulders to distinguish them from the slew of black rectangles currently on the market. “Tablets are quickly becoming a must-have tool for staying connected, getting work done and having fun at home and on the road,” said Victoria McManus, marketing director UK & Ireland, Motorola Mobility. “We are very excited about these two new additions to our tablet portfolio that build on the success of the original Motorola XOOM to now deliver more powerful tablet experiences to the European market.”
