Goodereader.com Radio Show – Motorola Xoom

goodereader

Welcome to another exiting edition of the Good e-Reader Radio Show! Today we give you the low down of what happened this last week in the world of tablet computers, digital publishing, e-readers and ebooks!

There was no shortage of news this week with the recent launch of the Motorola Xoom and the first wave of reviews coming down the pipe. Of course here at Good e-Reader we had ourselves a copy and have avidly been tinkering with it. You can read the full review of the Xoom HERE. We also break exclusive news on the Xoom’s inability to play nice with Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, and Adobe Digital Editions.

This last week the iPad 2 was recently announced with Steve Jobs back in the spotlight announcing their follow up to the wildly successful iPad 1. The new version has dual cores and features two cameras and a slimmer design. We also give you the lowdown on iOS 4.3, and all of the new software coming down the pipe for it.

Much more news came in this week, such as Random House Books available on the iBookstore and Asus announcement of a quad-core tablet.

This is a great hour long edition of the show, featuring some great songs, rants on Android 3D browser based games and so much more! Join in on the fun only with Good e-Reader!

hey guys, what’s the opening track/song again? sounded great. its sorta like a more contemporary (ish) Beck. let us know. would love to find out about the artist and his music. thanks!
btw, i watched your xoom review and am listening to your podcast now. i just found your reviews a bit apologetic when you critiques Xoom, which kinda gives an impression of being biased. If Honeycomb is buggy to the point that annoys you, just say so. Why should I cut Motorola/Google some slack when their competitor did (and will again) deliver a very solid, virtually bug-free experience. I’m no fanboy of Apple but if Honeycomb still feels V1.0 RC (as opposed to the branded V3.0, where in reality it’s really 1.0 based on (or re-imagined/re-engineered) a fork of the old 2.0 iteration of an OS), that’s simply not acceptable, to end users as well as engineers from both companies, especially it’s way more expensive (and its cheaper, WIFI only version is still nowhere to be seen).

Hey, its not like we’re in bed with any of the companies we talk about, but I make it a point to be tremendously negative and brooding on something. You’re right Honeycomb feels like v 1, and even adobe is not supporting honeycomb yet with Flash, Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions and so on. There is only 100 apps customized to honeycomb, so it feels like a barron wasteland
