We bought a Xoom almost 5 years ago for our now 9-1/2 year old. It has stood the test of time, and weathered the trials of small children fantastically! TONS of apps to choose from in Google Play. 32gb means that, even with hundreds of apps installed, we've never run out of memory. We bought our 2nd Xoom for our 5 year old this Christmas, and shortly afterward our 3rd Xoom purchase because it was the tablet of choice for our college student. It is a great tablet - we've never had trouble with it and would recommend it to anyone.

Guess it's the norm....buyer beware. This tab is so old not able to update/add many apps ie chrome. It's heavy its slow and I'm sure it's used as not all search/download history had been removed. Good enough for playing games...although expensive game player!

This is the third tablet that I have owned and the best. Scrolling is very smooth and fast, excellent touch response, most pages load fast, videos run very smoothly, great screen resolution, battery lasts 6-10 hours depending upon what you are doing, auto screen intensity works well most of the time (sometimes it is a bit bright, but one can easily manually adjust), excellent WiFi sensitivity & locks on quickly, nice screen size, good selection of pre-loaded apps, Motorola has Android updates, so this is now running Jelly Bean. The only real negative that is tablet related is weight, this is a bit heavy. All Android tablets that I have owned have this same problem - the default browser does not work for all Websites. I use Opera as a back up and between the two, 99.9% of sites function.
Overall happy. My kids use it a lot. Only thing I didn't like it is the rca type charging jack which is attached to the charger. It's diameter is too small & is very delicate. It can break easily. So take extra precaution while charging. Especially when you have young ones running around. Also, please be aware that some of the online vendors will sell you asian version. Although a valid serial #, the charging transformer comes w/ wall adapter. You won't be able to plug in directly in US w/o that adapter. So please make sure it comes w/ adapter that goes directly in us version plug. Just a warning & confirm before buying so that you don't feel cheated. What I mentioned hopefully is true as far as US version tablet charger comes w/o any adapter.
I purchased this as a refurb by Motorola; it was in perfect condition. The first thing you will notice is that it is rather heavy as tablets go today. This unit runs much better unlocked and a custom ROM installed. You can obtain info on this on www.xoomforums.com or xda-developers.com. The tablet (once reprogrammed) is a fairly crisp machine; I am able to play HD games, and above DVD quality movies very well. As more apps become tablet aware, so will the user experience will get better than it already is. So, I would recommend this unit (if you can find it as it is being phased out by Motorola), just do your homework to find the best price.
