Motorola XOOM For Dummies

Motorola XOOM For DummiesThe only Xoom book covering the Android 3.1 update is available now on Amazon!

It’s no surprise that CNET granted the Xoom one of the coveted “CES 2011 Best of Show” awards. First out the gate, the Motorola Xoom boasts solid hardware, just waiting for the free updates coming down the road: 4G cellular access, and expansion to 64GB of storage through the storage card slot.

The Motorola Xoom tablet plays Flash videos, shoots photos and videos from its front-and-rear-facing cameras, and displays it all on a large, high-resolution screen. The Xoom is the first device to run Android 3.0, created specifically for tablets. This book also covers the Android 3.1 update which began arriving in May.

With its powerful hardware, Android’s fast-growing user base, and the strength of Verizon’s network, the Motorola Xoom is the Android tablet to beat.

This book details the Xoom’s features and secrets, helping people overcome the hurdles of being an early adopter. You’ll want to keep this book close at hand, as you explore your Xoom’s many features.
