The USB port is designed for data transfer between your Xoom and a computer.

Your netbook can’t charge that way, either.

That said, it made no sense not to include a single port for charging and file transfers.

The Motorola Xoom tablet

Donotplug in any charger that was not specifically designed for charging a Xoom.

It ran onAndroid 3.1 Honeycomb, which brought a lot of innovation to Android.

The Xoom also introduced video editing capabilities to the Android tablet with a simple video editing tool.

Android Honeycomb also supported joysticks and other dongles, although none of them were released for the Motorola Xoom.

Ultimately the Xoom was a bust.

The tablet was large, clunky, and not the iPad killer they’d hoped for.

Motorola spun off its consumer electronics into Motorola Mobility.

(The deal was really about acquiring Motorola’s patents all along).
