Motorola Mobility to Bring Motorola XOOM™ to Europe

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile World Congress 2011 -- Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) today announced Motorola XOOM™ 3G/WiFi®-enabled version as well as a WiFi-only version will be available in Europe beginning in Q2 2011. Motorola XOOM runs on Google's Android™ 3.0 Honeycomb – the only Android operating system designed specifically for tablets – and was named "Best of Show" by CNET at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).  The tablet will be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress this week at the Motorola booth in Hall 8, Booth No. 8A51.

"Motorola XOOM re-defines what the tablet experience should be.  Designed from the ground up with the consumer in mind, it provides more ways to have fun, connect with friends and stay productive while on the go," said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of Portfolio and Device Product Management, Motorola Mobility. "Whether surfing the Web, watching the latest hit movie, or video-chatting with friends, Motorola XOOM will delight consumers with its ease of use, speed and vivid graphics, as well as its Motorola Smart Accessories."

In today's fast-paced mobile device market, Motorola XOOM isn't the next generation tablet; it's the one after that. Thanks to its dual cameras, true multi-tasking functionality, latest Google Mobile innovations, 1GHz dual-core processor and 10.1-inch (25.65 cm) widescreen HD display, the Motorola XOOM provides users with diverse content-consumption capabilities.

Motorola XOOM Features

Motorola XOOM delivers a new type of mobile computing experience, including: a widescreen HD display with 1280x800 resolution to support HD video and with HDMI out; a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for 720p video capture and 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats; and a built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting.
