iPad gets competitor in Motorola Xoom

So far the iPad has pretty much laughed at previous tablet "competitors," but with the Xoom Motorola has positioned itself as a serious player in the tablet game. Featuring Honeycomb, the newest version of Android specifically made for tablets, the Xoom will makes previous attempts at Android tablets look pretty silly. 

The Xoom features a 1 GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, a 10.1 inch screen, 5 MP rear camera with flash, a front-facing 2 MP camera, Adobe Flash, and 32 GB internal storage, and will work on Verizon's 3G and LTE network.

It's clear that Motorola is going after the iPad with the Xoom, and just like Android on phones, we'll probably see a ton of Honeycomb tablets on a variety of carriers soon. Not to be outdone however, Apple is expected to unveil the iPad 2 very soon, which could still blow Honeycomb out of the water. We'll see, but we sure are excited about having a variety of tablets that are actually good.

Motorola intros Droid Bionic

With the release of the Bionic, Motorola is helping usher in a new era of smartphones, the dual-core era. The Bionic boasts a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4.3 inch screen, 512 MB of RAM, and 8 MP rear camera and a front-facing one as well, plus will run on Verizon's shiny new LTE network. No word on pricing or release date yet, but we'd expect it to launch soon for around $199 with a two-year contract. Motorola's already got an information site set up, we'll stay tuned and let you know when they let the release date out of the bag. Until then feel free to ooh and aw here.
