The Motorola Droid Xyboard, previously released as the Xoom 2 in Europe before being renamed, is an Android-based tablet computer by Motorola Mobility, announced by Motorola on November 3, 2011.
Compared to its predecessor, the Motorola Xoom, Motorola's website said that the Motorola Droid Xyboard would be "10 percent lighter", "33 percent thinner", have an "improved HD 10.1-inch screen", and would be able to "stream PC files to your tablet with MotoCast™".The device is available in 3G and WIFI variants with there being options between an 8.2-inch screen or a 10.1-inch screen model. The website also claims the tablet's 1.2 GHz dual-core processor "boosts speed by 20 percent".
There is an optional active capacitive stylus available, sold separately.
The Droid Xyboard is also available as a Media Edition. The Motorola website states that the Media Edition will "Stream files from your PC" with "MotoCast™" and has an 8.2-inch "HD widescreen" with "Adaptive virtual surround sound". The Media Edition does not support the active stylus.
Both Xoom 2 tablets were released in November 2011, and are available in the UK at Carphone Warehouse, Best Buy, Dixons, PC World and Currys in the United Kingdom.
The Droid Xyboard was released in some stores on December 9, and was released in all stores on December 12, 2011.
