The Acer Iconia Tab A500 just joined an exclusive club. As recently as April, the award-winning Motorola Xoom was the only Tablet PC to use the Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system that was created specifically with tablets in mind. Now, the Iconia Tab A500 is the fourth such tablet, and each one has tried to do something a little unique to harness the powers that the Honeycomb tablet OS offers. The T-Mobile G-Slate and ASUS Eee Pad Transformer joined the Xoom, and now the Iconia Tab A500 is accepted into the exclusive Google OS hierarchy.
The Motorola Xoom was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year in Las Vegas, and immediately received the “iPad Killer” moniker. But that was before Motorola overpriced the Xoom, fouled its release date structure, and the iPad 2 released at that same time to instant sales and popularity. But after settling down and releasing the Xoom Wifi version at a decent price, Motorola has seen slow but steady popularity and sales growth, and it is easy to see why.
I’m pretty convinced that a top 5 Android tablets list would vary from person to person as we all have certain qualities we are looking for in a tablet user experience, hence I decided to turn to the experts who review these devices for a living. I decided that the Cnet editors are among the trusted and respected technology professionals in the industry, so I decided that their rankings were likely worth considering.
Motorola’s next generation tablet, the 10.1 inch High Definition display Xoom WiFi runs on the Android 3.0 platform and offers incredibly fast wifi connectivity at a reasonable price. Owners can stay connected with friends and family as well as be productive from anywhere at any time with the all new Xoom from Motorola.
