In this comparison I take a look at the first three Android 3.0 tablets to determine which is going to be the best Honeycomb tablet.
The Motorola XOOM looks to be the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet to launch and it looks quite good. It will be a Google Experience device meaning no custom firmware which should help the tablet get updates much more quickly. You’ll find 1 GHz dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280×800 and support for Verizon 3G now that can be upgraded to Verizon 4G LTE later in the year.
Next up is the LG Optimus Tab which will be known as the T-Mobile G-Slate in the United States. The Optimus Tab also runs a stock version of Android 3.0 however it has a smaller 8.9 inch display that supports 3D, albeit with glasses. It also runs the Tegra 2 processor however it has HDMI out along with two 5 megapixel rear facing cameras with allows you to record up to 1080p HD 3D video.
Lastly we have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the update to the first major Android tablet the original Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is very similar to the Motorola XOOM with a 10.1 inch 1280×800 display, Tegra 2 CPU and of course Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It lacks a USB port, MicroSD card slot and HDMI however which makes it a bit of a tougher sell.
