The Motorola Xoom is an Android-based tablet computer by Motorola, introduced at CES 2011 on January 5, 2011. It was the first tablet to be sold with Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The Verizon branded Xoom was the first tablet to run Android 3.1.[6] The Motorola Xoom went through the FCC on February 10, 2011[7] only 14 days before release. The 3G version was released on February 24, 2011, and the Wi-Fi version was released March 27, 2011. It was announced concurrently with three other products: the Motorola Atrix, the Motorola Droid Bionic, and the Motorola Cliq 2.[8] CNET named it the "Best of the CES" 2011.[9]

Its successor, the Motorola Xyboard, Xoom 2 in the UK, was announced in October 2011, and released in November.[10][11]
