RAM - This is the type of memory that the device uses to temporarily store data from the OS or currently-running apps. The more RAM available to the device, the better the performance will be when multiple or heavier programs are running. Capacity - The bigger, the better! However, battery capacity is not the only factor that has an effect on battery life.

Those include the chipset in use, the software running on the device, as well as the consumer's unique usage pattern. Location - This field shows the positioning systems supported by the device.

It might look sharp and angular, but it's actually grippy and comfortable to hold.

Motorola have thankfully dealt with this problem, so it can detect a thumb on the screen and ignore it — without it stopping you from performing other touch actions. In terms of controls, like the other Xooms, the buttons are on the rear. The volume and standby buttons are all adjacent to each other in a slightly recessed panel which makes finding them tricky.

It looks tidy, but in practical terms we couldn't change the volume without looking. Even after a month of use, it's an arrangement we haven't got used to. The placement of the connections does work for us however.

We imagine that this will offer a SIM card slot on some models. There is no option for microSD expansion, unfortunately. One of the things we like about the Xoom 2 ME is that it matches the specs of the It has the same 1. It even has the same resolution display. That might not sound like much in smartphone terms, but it is also an IPS display, so offers nice sharp details and good colours, with wide viewing angles.

The smaller size and tighter pixel pitch means that everything looks good, from the best Honeycomb app, to streaming video and everything in-between. If we're being really picky, there is a small amount of bleed at the edges, which you might notice when watching video in the dark, but it's nothing to get upset about.

You get all the normal wireless connections you expect, but we found a familiar oddity with Wi-Fi where it would occasionally fail to connect to our home network, needing a little nudge to get going. Bluetooth, GPS and all the sensors are here, including a barometer, something that might see more use in the future than it does now. The overall package is put together well. The Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition feels like a quality tablet and despite the lightweight, it doesn't bend, flex or creak and it's survived the odd drop on to the bedroom floor too.

That's an interesting question. It does make the name more of a mouthful, although we guess that this tablet will colloquially be known as Xoom 2 "the small one". Motorola has said it was down to the fact that it's more portable, for media on the move.

Whatever the reason, as we've already established, video playback looks great. It will handle full HD video, although the native codec support isn't very wide. Fortunately, as this tablet - like all of Motorola's recent releases - chooses to use MotoCast USB for moving content on to the device, it will convert video as necessary, so the experience isn't too bad.

If you need wider video support you'll find options on Android Market to do so. Also wrapped up in MotoCast is the remote access side of things.
