Motorola Xoom reviews starting to pour in

> right now it’s a small island in a sea of phone titles — and the majority of those titles do not look right on a 10.1-inch screen at this resolution.

Funny, I don’t remember anyone saying this last year when the iPad was released. Oh yeah, that’s because there were thousands of titles available at launch that were native. Because Apple released the SDK to developers long enough before the iPad shipped. Honeycomb is just getting to developers now.

But aside from the obvious lack of software, reviewers seem to be on the whole favorable towards the Xoom. And, as Gruber predicted, none that I’ve seen so far are mentioning the lack of Flash as something that could be helping the battery life on the review units.

And, it looks like the Android tablets will share at least one thing in common with Android phones: Every few months there will be a new one that makes the previous one look like a turd. Good way to build brand loyalty.

Prediction: few will be writing articles in defense of 7-inch tablets, now that this thing is out.
