Motorola XOOM WiFi Review (9/10)


So I got myself a tablet. There wasn’t a lot to choose from: the Apple iPad/iPad 2, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola XOOM WiFi and the Galaxy Tab. I think there may have been a few more but they didn’t catch my eye. Mind you, almost immediately after making my purchase, the ASUS Eee Transformer, Acer Iconia and new revised Galaxy Tab were announced/available. At the time the decision was down to iPad vs the XOOM. I ended up with the XOOM (the WiFi only version because [a] that’s what I want and [b] it’s the only model available in Canada at this time and [c] it’s expensive enough as is)

Android Diaries, Part 3: Gingerbread


I’ve been pretty happy with my cleaned up Milestone and I was content with running a rooted and slightly modded Android 2.2.1. Then I stumbled upon an article outlining a serious data vulnerability affecting Android versions up to and including 2.3.3. This gave me the final push I needed to take the next step with my phone.
