    Correct Xoom 2 review link. The OP link is for the Xoom 2 Media Edition.

    • this is the Media Edition MZ607, not MZ616.

        The Xoom 2 is $449.00 from mobicity

        Perhaps the fact that this is the 8-inch media edition rather than the 10-inch Xoom 2 could be clarified in the title?

          The title becomes too long, hence just the model no., I'll put it in the description.

          EDIT: its in the title, how does it look ?

        • Looks good to me!

  • +1

    Good deal, I already have the xoom 1 but this is attractive.

    • +1

      Wasnt the xoom 1 pretty much exactly the same in every way as the xoom 2? a slightly faster processor in the xoom2 (1.2Ghz vs 1Ghz)… I wouldnt bother upgrading from the xoom

      • I must admit I thought that the OP was for the Xoom 2 and not the media edition originally. I paid over $300 for my Xoom 1 and it is still a capable device, running Jelly bean.

        $270-odd for a Xoom 2 would still be a very good deal, considering that the Nexus 7" is $249, but given that this is only the media edition takes that back a notch. The nexus has it over the Xoom 2 media edition in CPU terms, although the Xoom 2 ME has a marginally bigger screen.

        So I suppose its a toss-up, although I'd probably go for the Nexus over this. I am somewhat concerned that an unusual 8-inch screen probably wouldnt be supported as well by app developers.

          remember its not the screen size app developers look at, its the resolution, which is the same.

          But, I do agree, I would go for the Nexus 7 given the choice, this is just a darn good price for those looking at getting this specific model, rather than spending more elsewhere…

          Also note my points to Scotty's reply below, the Nexus 7 is not an expandable device, but yes it is future proof in terms of power and updates.

  • This or Nexus 7 ?
    7" vs 8"
    heh heh

    • XOOM 2 ME uses OMAP 4430 + SGX540, i.e. same CPU as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and old Kindle Fire, which is probably only slightly faster than Tegra 2. Not really comparable to Nexus 7's Tegra 2.

      You get 1.2" larger screen and that's about it.

      • don't forget:

        Expandable Memory
        mini HDMI
        infrared to use as a remote…

        Also note, its only 40g heavier with a stronger build @ 8.2", upto 8hrs battery life with a better 720p camera than the Nexus 7…

      • +1

        Not really comparable to Nexus 7's Tegra 3

        FTFY

  • The listing doesn't really make it clear, but is the model Mobicity selling the 3G version? Sorely tempted if so…

  • Original Price: $599 Sale Price: $259 Dicsount: 57%. Even then they are making money out of it. The kind of markups seen in electronic items is just insane! In this case, atleast 300%…

    • Even then they are making money out of it.

      OBVIOUSLY… LOL
