  • Features Everything I need, but a bit too many preloaded apps that I can't clear out good
  • Display So much better than the original Xoom great!
  • Battery life Goes for a long, long time between charges good
  • Ease of use Only Android 3... come on Motorola, ICS has been out for ages and is miles better for daily use so-so
  • Storage capacity 16Gb fills up quickly when you store media on it... Come on people, a 16Gb SD card is now what - $15 retail... how much would it cost you to add in more storage so-so
  • Design and form factor Smooth rubber grips at the edge give it a classy feel great!
  • Portability (size / weight) For the size of screen, this is about as small as yhou can realistically get great!
  • Durability Solidly built no bends or twists great!
Detailed review
Massively better than the Xoom (1), the Xoom 2 has attacked all the negative points (primarily size) and released a very good tablet.
Yes, it needs to be a little bit cheaper to compete, and yes it needs the MicroSD expansion, and for goodness sake Motorola pull your finger out and get Ice Cream Sandwich release for it!

Blocking the Micro SD slot makes me look elsewhere. I had the first Xoom, loved it but "had" to give it away. So I was looking to buy a newer Xoom. Not now. The micro SD expansion slot was one of the main reasons I went Android not iPad, and evangelized this feature to friends.
