After a long wait for Motorola to reveal a successor to their Honeycomb-running XOOM tablet, today the company officially announced not one, but two XOOM tablets - the XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition. Both tablets boast slimmer and lighter bodies and design features, which seem to be taken straight out the RAZR and initially will be available in Wi-Fi variants only.

The XOOM 2 is the direct successor of the original XOOM,
packing a 10.1-inch 1280x800 display with
Corning Gorilla Glass for extra protection. Powered by a
1.2GHz dual-core processor, the XOOM 2 comes with
1GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, which is yet unknown if could
be expanded via a microSD card.
Motorola has really tried hard to improve the XOOM 2 and as a result it weighs the whopping
131 grams less than the old XOOM and is thinner by a nudge over 4mm. The XOOM also comes with
splash-guard technology, like the RAZR, which features a special coating to prevent incidental splashes from ruining the device.
However, in the camera department things are not so rosy. Motorola has thrown the same
5MP camera from the original XOOM, but to make things worse, the XOOM 2 has only a
single LED flash, instead of two.
The front camera, too,has been downgraded from 2MP to 1.3MP. Still, the battery promises
10+ hours of Web usage and over a month of stand-by time.
Both tablets will run Android Honeycomb 3.2, with the company keeping its cards close to the chest whether Ice Cream Sandwich will hit both versions of the XOOM 2. Expect the XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition to hit UK and Ireland in mid-November, with more markets to follow soon after. Price is yet unknown, though.
