The interface is very nice and pretty easy to figure out if you have used any Apple OS touchscreen device or Android touch screen device.

I like the size and how smooth it is when you change from display normal, longways and also upside down.

I give xoom five stars for its well felt high build quality, which includes the high res screen, two high def cameras a, 2 speakers, and hdmi/future-sd interfaces.

The nice thing about the screen is the resolution: the pixel density is fantastic and makes the detail on everything great.

In short, if you like to read and love using iTunes and buy a lot of stuff from iTunes anyway, iPad2 would be better.
Rated 100% by by Tiger (Apr, 2011)
Although you can still copy and play all the stuff you bought from iTunes (unless it's DRM-protected) on the Xoom, if you like the way your iTunes work with your current Ipod, iPad2 might be better for you.
Rated 100% by by Tiger (Apr, 2011)
The only thing Xoom has extra is a USB or HDMI port.

Apps

Some of the phone android apps don't work on it yet, but these have been relatively few so far, and the apps that have been optimized for tablets have been absolutely fantastic.

Screen

I think the 16x10 screen ratio is great, the screen looks quite good, the sound is good, and it's fast.
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 80% by by DC-Goog-Guy (Aug, 2011)
PROS: nice screen with really good viewing angle (as others have noted, screen is a fingerprint magnet, but that doesn't seem like a big issue to me).
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 20% by by John-Smith (Nov, 2011)
Sure, I could do it on my phone, too, but the larger screen makes touches easier and displays far more information at once.

Operating system

The OS is super responsive and the internet is blazing fast.
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Young1 (Apr, 2011)
One of the main reason I also choose Xoom is that this is the development platform for Android's Honeycomb tablet OS.
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 80% by by Wolfsvein (May, 2011)
Fast, smooth operation, vivid screen, and the Android OS is very cool.

Battery

And it is very efficient at saving battery life, big thing is dim the screen brightness when you don't need it.
MOTOROLA Xoom with WiFi + 3G 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Dino-Biel (Jan, 2012)
XOOM Gives you pretty much straight up support and implements everything exactly as they say they have so their battery life is roughly 9 Hours.
