Starting today, U.S. Cellular customers can select the Motorola XOOM for $599.99 from the carrier’s growing catalog of mobile tablets. Customers can connect the Motorola XOOM to a Wi-Fi network or tether it to a U.S. Cellular smartphone to access the wireless company’s high-speed nationwide network, which has the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier.
The Motorola XOOM’s 10.1-inch widescreen display and unique interface make it easy to stay organized by streaming the web, videos, games, calendars and important information right to the customizable homescreen. It’s the first mobile tablet to use the Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) operating system that was designed specifically to run time-saving applications on a larger screen. Multi-taskers can get more done by managing several web browsing experiences at the same time. Those features are powered by a 1 GHz dual core processor that opens web pages twice as fast.
“The Motorola XOOM can be a productivity tool for employees who need quick access to information and applications, and its HD screen is ideal for watching movies and playing games,” said Edward Perez, vice president of sales and marketing operations for U.S. Cellular. “We’re providing our customers more options to find the device that meets their needs, which is one reason why we have the happiest customers in wireless.”
The Motorola XOOM features front and rear-facing cameras for video chatting on Google Talk and 32 GB of memory to store movies, music and other files. Multimedia fans can watch 10 hours of video on a single charge and play Adobe Flash® movies. It’s pre-loaded with other popular Google applications like Gmail, Google Maps and Google eBooks, which provides access to millions of books titles.
U.S. Cellular customers must add a $25 data plan to their account in order to tether the Motorola XOOM to their smartphone.
