Motorola Xoom 2 Moto undercuts the iPad 2

Following more than a little speculation, the Motorola Xoom 2 Moto made an official appearance in London yesterday, with the new Android tablet set to cost £379.99 when it hits the shops.

We’ve seen countless new tablets over the past few months, and the Motorola Xoom 2 Moto is the latest addition to a burgeoning market. The Xoom 2 Moto is bigger than the majority of its rivals, boasting a 10.1-inch display, but it also packs in plenty of other features.

The 1.2GHz processor is a dual-core chip, with 1GB of RAM helping to provide a similar level of performance as the Apple iPad 2. You’ll be able to store apps and files on the 16GB of integrated storage.

Unfortunately, there’s no sign of Ice Cream Sandwich on the Motorola Xoom 2 Moto, with the tablet running the older Honeycomb version of Android instead. Still, fingers crossed that Motorola makes an upgrade available in the near future.

Set to launch later this month, the Motorola Xoom 2 Moto will cost £20 less than the Apple iPad 2 – is that enough to tempt you? Leave a comment and let us know.

With no SD card slot to upgrade storage, that would make it inadequate for most people, as 16gb is very little storage for movies and music, and i don't see cloud storage as much of a substitute, due to its limitations.

I have the Motorola Zoom at the moment in fact I am writing this comment on it and I love it, the deal breaker for me is the Zoom 2 does not have a micro sd cards slot which this one does and it costs more for the 16 gig new model than I paid for this one with a micro sd card slot. This is a big mistake by Motorola as I would not upgrade.
