Fully Flash-enabled for video-rich web with tabbed windows for multitasking and Chromeô bookmarks syncing, the XOOM gives you the ultimate mobile browsing experience. With Google Maps that you can tilt, rotate, and zoom into in 3D with photo-real Street View, you'll never need a map again. It's also 4G upgradeable, so you can leap from 3G to Verizon 4G LTE and the mind-melting upper limits of speed and be prepared for the future.
