Motorola XoomAs the glitzy Las Vegas curtain falls on yet another Consumer Electronics Show, tablet computers and 4G networks remain the talk of the town—specifically in relation to Motorola’s promising Xoom.

Moreover, the Xoom’s combination of a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, Google Android 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb) and 4G LTE connectivity could well see Motorola’s slate even challenging Apple’s iPad in the tablet space.

The Xoom’s chances of success have today seen the emergence of shipping projections that suggest Motorola is hoping to shift somewhere in the vicinity of 800,000 units by the end of March.

Other features connected to the Xoom include a 10.1-inch HD screen (1200 x 800), a capacitive touch interface, front and rear-facing cameras (2.0 mega-pixels and 5.0 mega-pixels respectively), 1080p video playback, HDMI out, and a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer.
