The Motorola XOOM is now available in South Africa

 

Along with being built for tablets specifically, rather than just scaling apps up to fit the screen, the Honeycomb OS offered improvements with regards to rendering  widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization, she added. The company asserted that the tablet supports up to ten hours of video playback and charges in half the time of some competitive tablets on the market.

ATRIX also added

Alongside the XOOM, the company also launched its new Motorola ATRIX smartphone in the country. The ATRIX, which packs the same Tegra 2 dual core processor, can be placed in the companion Lapdock or HD Multimedia Dock (included in the package), while running a full Mozilla Firefox 3.6 browser.

Nichols explained that the ATRIX is designed to become a user’s primary digital hub to create, edit and interact with documents, media and content. “This is done through the Motorola webtop application and new accessory docks, such as the Lapdock, that provide users with a larger screen, keyboard and trackpad, enabling them to have an enhanced and more interactive computer-like experience with their devices,” she elaborated.

 

While in the webtop application, users can run their Android applications in a larger window, browse their favorite websites with a full Firefox desktop browser, send instant messages, check email, access files and make phone calls simultaneously. Additionally, the ATRIX is aimed at enabling users to take advantage of its Entertainment Center feature to show photos, play music and watch videos from HD TVs.

The ATRIX is expected to be available from MTN and Vodacom during this month, while the Motorola XOOM has an RRP of R6500.
