Photo-a-day #227: August 15, 2011 - Motorola Xoom

Photo-a-day #227: August 15, 2011 - Motorola Xoom

As an Android fan, last week I finally ordered the Motorola Xoom with the RooCase. Getting it today was fun, since the big news that Google was buying Motorola was announced this morning. It will be interesting to see what Google does with the future of this device.

Though probably not as intuitive as the iPad 2, it is a great device and does basically the same thing, though more 'androidy'. Since I have a ton of apps already on my Evo 3D, buying this and simply logging in, it was set up just like my Evo. Huge time saver. Most importantly, I don't have to deal with iTunes, which is pretty much utter crap for the PC.

In this picture, I'm using Star Chart, which is a great astronomy program I got free on the Amazon Android Market free app of the day a few weeks ago.
