The Motorola Xyboard 10.1 is not quite enough tablet, for too much money. While it’s much more handsome than the Xoom tablet it replaces, the Xyboard can’t overcome its high price. With a dual-core processor bumped up to 1.2GHz and an ample 1GB of RAM, the Xyboard zooms along, hampered only by the addition of Moto’s Blurring of the Honeycomb OS.Perhaps to add that extra value oomph to the Xyboard, Motorola’s bundled a stylus into the box. But don’t let that get your hopes up, the functionality reeks of last minute add-on.
