The screen of the tablet is larger with 10.1 inches size which is similar to iPad and a bit larger than LG optimus Pad.

But it is also heard that Xoom’s Wi-Fi will be disabled if the user is not subscribing to the One month Data subscription plan with Verizon.

The features of Motorola Xoom are quite distinguished as already briefed above. There are already enough and more tablet devices in the market right now and many of them are huge successes. iPad has sold over 15 million copies in a year and Galaxy Tab has crossed 2 million mile stones. While many of the features present in Xoom are much better than the iPad, we also have to admit that the cost of Xoom is high. The Galaxy Tab can access thousands of apps available now and the users only need to make sure that those apps are compatible with their device. Though not successful like the above mentioned tablets there are numerous tablet devices released this year like iSlate, OlivePad etc. So the task of Motorola Xoom is not going to be easy in the market. Adding to this LG is also launching its Optimus Pad which has similar features of Xoom. Any way Motorola is hoping that Xoom will help them gain a good market share keeping faith on its high end features.
