Poor amount of designed for tablet apps atleast for the moment
Device occasionally freezes up.
The left out flash for a few weeks

No flash support yet
Won't charge via USB
Must send tablet to Motorola for 4G upgrade
No WiFi only version yet

Programs often crashed
Dearth of apps in Android Market with no filter to see tablet-optimised ones
Lack of unique interface means it may not stand out in the soon-to-grow tablet market Look and Feel...

Yet

Pricey compared to Android 3.0 tablets recently launched

Lackluster display

It's expensive
Heftier than the iPad 2
And novice users may balk at Android's read-the-manual attitude
Screen isn't as bright or vibrant as we think it should be
I have to say, this is a lot better than I expected. Honeycomb feels a lot like Google's take on iOS without sacrificing any of what makes Android unique. It's a healthy combination of the appliance-like iOS without giving up any of the user facing custom...

The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's.

Poor rear camera; user interface may be complicated for first time users; tablet-specific applications are sparse; proprietary charging cable; high price point; has to be sent away to have LTE enabled.
The dual-core processor and Honeycomb, though there is a shortage of tablet-specific applications, gives the XOOM an edge over the iPad. It is blazing fast and the use of widgets makes the home screen more interactive. The XOOM definitely upped the b...

Abstract: The $600 Motorola Xoom is the first slate to run Android 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb), Google's long-awaited operating system designed for tablets. Motorola wisely refrained from altering the stock experience, which means it’s a chance for the world to see t...
