The Xoom is clearly meant to be used in landscape mode more than
portrait (though it can be rotated any way you prefer). If you're holding the
tablet in that orientation, you'll find the front facing camera sitting
dead-center between the Motorola and Verizon logos along the top of the glass
display. On the left side of the device, there are two volume buttons, along
the top is a slot for a future LTE SIM and microSD card . On the bottom you'll
find a Micro USB and mini HDMI jack, along with dock sensors. Around the back
of the device, Motorola has weirdly chosen to place the power sleep button next
to the camera lens and flash and those components are flanked by stereo
speakers.
The display on the Xoom is slightly larger than the iPad's 9.7-inch
screen, and higher resolution (1280 x 800 to Apple's 1024 x 768). The aspect
ratio is substantially different as well, meaning that the Xoom feels a lot
longer (or taller) than the iPad. In general, we felt portrait use was slightly
uncomfortable given the size, but not in any way a dealbreaker. Though the
screen does look nice, pixel density seemed to suffe.
