Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition hands on review

Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition – mini tablet

If Apple is planning an iPad Mini for 2012, then Motorola has beaten it to the punch with its Xoom 2 Media Edition, a pint-sized little brother to the 10.1in Xoom 2 (read our Xoom 2 hands on review). But how will the 8.2in Xoom 2 Media Edition, ahem, measure up when it’s staring down the likes of Samsung’s is-it-a-phone-is-it-a-tablet Galaxy Note?

Landing squarely in the gap between the just-about-pocketable Galaxy Note and a rash of 9in-plus tablets, the Xoom 2 Media Edition wants to be your minus-size tablet friend. And with similar specs to its big brother, it’s got a good chance of finding its niche.
