One of the questions on our minds after Google’s acquisition of Motorola last month, is what Motorola will do following the move. If rumours are to be believed, then Motorola may be working on not one but two successors to its Motorola XOOM, a tablet we reviewed and found to be a generally solid entry in the tablet market.

According to This is my next, the XOOM 2 will sport a 10.1” screen, an as yet unspecified dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GB of memory, and add an additional hour of battery life to the original model’s ten hours, in a 9 mm thick frame (almost 4 mm thinner than the original model’s 12.9 mm). We don’t as yet know what impact this will have on the weight of the device – but as the first XOOM weighed in at a rather substantial 730 g, there was certainly room to reduce that.
