Motorola Xoom 2 unboxing and primary impressions (video)

What’s this oddly curved box we see before us? Ah, yes, it’s Motorola’s ( joint ) second attempt on the Android tablet game. The Xoom 2 is another 10.1-inch widescreen Honeycomb offering, seeking to make up for the lost opportunities of its predecessor — slimmer, faster and definitely packing more vertices. While we put it through its paces, we thought you’d appreciated some close-up shots with what seems to be the ultimate retail model. First impressions? Those corners certainly do help keep it in our hands, and function seemed suitably speedy. It’s worth noting that — at the least on first impressions — Motorola hasn’t tampered excessively with the Honeycomb, something we weren’t too happy about on Moto’s Droid RAZR . We also suspect that splash-proof nanotech coating is also acting as fingerprint magnet. Delve into the secrets of the fitted retail box, some tablet comparisons and a touching reunion with its smartphone sibling in our gallery below, or catch a short lived video tour after the break.
