Excitingly, the Xoom will run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb which is the latest version of Google’s Android OS, specifically designed for tablets.

Important software features of the Xoom are quick multi tasking, a user interface specifically optimized for tablets, a thrilling Bump Top 3D desktop, enhanced browsing options for Google Maps, book mark syncing and many more advanced options. A wide range of official accessories are available for the Xoom, including a super-thin wireless keyboard, various multi-functional docks and a unique portfolio case, doubling as a stand that allows you to view the Xoom at a comfortable angle.

Recommended Camera Phones: Picks and More

Digital camera technology has gone a long way since the very first digi-cams have been introduced to the consumer market. These days, it seems all too easy to slap on a camera on almost any handset. The average laptop and netbook comes with a built it webcam, even handheld gaming consoles such as the PSP and the DSi have cameras (in the case of the PSP, it is an external accessory; the DSi has it built in.) Naturally smart phones also have digital camera technology as well.

Nokia is already promising the industry a massive 12 mega pixel camera on the upcoming N8 and N9 smart phones (which use the Symbian^3 and MeeGo operating systems respectively). Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz and the Motorola Milestone XT 720 each bring an 8 mega pixel camera to consumers everywhere.

These days, taking a high resolution image of anything basically means simply pointing a phone at a subject and taking a quick snapshot. But for the more discerning graphic artists, the concern does not stop with the mega pixel count alone, having zoom, autofocus, LED flash and other additional features are also important.

For users who like to upload straight from the phone to a Flickr account or in Facebook, a smart phone with integrated social networking features are recommended, as well as having pre-loaded image editing software (which would really help a lot when it comes to sizing down images to make them viewer friendly as full resolution images shot with an 8 mega pixel camera takes a while to load).

In both cases, it pays to have hot swappable micro SD cards. While 32GB cards will take a while to fill up, they eventually will. And having other media such as music and videos are certain to fill up the cards as well (most phones are also capable of recording video in 720p, 30FPS, which is also pretty space consuming).

Motorola ROKR ZN50. Yay? Or Nay?

We’re undecided about the Motorola ROKR ZN50. Not about the phone itself, of course, experts that we are. To be brief: this is a typical mid-range phone with nothing much to write home about apart from a decent music player, an interesting Android-like user interface and above average looks. (Read this Motorola ZN50 review for a more in-depth summary of everything on offer here). No, what we can’t work out about the Motorola ZN50 is whether it suggests that Motorola themselves are going to survive, because (and we forgive you for not knowing this) they are up poop creek without a paddle, and its raining heavily in the toilet mountains all around.

Despite this not-too-shoddy list of Motorola phones, the manufacturer is not in a very good way at all. Too much past reliance on the RAZR, too little investment in new products and a whole bucket full of other mistakes has seen them slip into dangerously unprofitable territory. So, is the ROKR – a decent phone, without doubt – the sign that they’ve turned the corner, or is it part of the final death hacks from this beast?

Well, we haven’t a clue to be honest. We know that they’ve a couple of Google Android based phones on the way (the ROKR is running on a kind of faux-Android user interface called, strangely, ‘Panorama’), and we know that if they make a few more phones like this one, then things might be alright. But we also know that they’re arsed things up too many times in the past to trust them as far as you can throw them. And trust us on this, if nothing else: trying to throw a multi-national corporation is very, very hard indeed, try as we have done many a time.

Have a little look at this terrible video while you’re making up your own mind:

Flip & Touch with the Motorola Krave ZN4

The recently launched Motorola Krave ZN4 is a new phone which offers a touch screen user interface underneath a clear flip mechanism. However, it isn’t all good. I’ve noticed that a lot of the Motorola Krave ZN4 reviews that I’ve read seem to suggest that this phone is flawed in too many design aspects for it to be worth buying at all. However, I’m not sure I agree that strongly. I’m aware that the phone does have a lot of design problems and that it will need a big improvement for it to be anywhere near competitive with the leaders in the field, but I feel that saying it’s not worth buying is a bit over the top.
Admittedly the phone does have a few problems but it is still a good phone and isn’t all that bad. I’ve seen a lot of Motorola Krave ZN4 deals available and I know you can get the Motorola Krave ZN4 contract phone for free so you should be able to get yourself a good deal on this phone. Overall, the features of this phone are good and I think you’ll be pleased with the handset if you do decide to purchase it. I’ve also noticed that mobile phone deals in general are getting better and I think you’ll be happy to hear that as we get closer to Christmas they’re going to get better.
I like the Krave but I don’t really like it; it has a lot to offer but it doesn’t quite seem to be able to stand up to the best selling mobile phones and let’s be honest, having a touch screen phone isn’t all that anymore – it’s about what the phone can do. Without GPS, WiFi, or even a decent camera, this phone simply isn’t up to the standard it should be. However, it is still a good phone and if you have a look at the Motorola Krave ZN4 video review you’ll see I’m not the only one who thinks so.
