Nine month passed since the release of Motorola Xoom, which brought us the first dual-core Android tablet. Now we see its predecessors the Xoom 2 and the Xoom 2 Media Edition, two thinner, lighter, and faster tablets. Both tablets are powered by dual-core 1.2 GHz processors, run Android 3.2 Honeycomb, and offer Wi-Fi connectivity. The displays are strengthened with Corning's Gorilla glass and come with a special splash-guard coating designed to make them more durable and stain resistant.
