The Wednesday proceedings at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas included the unveiling of a highly-anticipated tablet computer by the Motorola Mobility Holdings' CEO Sanjay Jha. The tablet will be available for Verizon subscribers.

According to a joint press release by Motorola and Verizon, the 10.1-inch touchscreen tablet - called Xoom - runs Google Android operating system's 3.0 `Honeycomb' version; and its Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor is capable of delivering up to 2GHz of power.

Some of the notable features of the Motorola Xoom include 1GB of DDR2 DRAM; touchscreen resolution of 1280-by-800 pixels; on-board Abode Flash player; 32GB storage, upgradeable via an SD card slot; and two digital cameras - a 2.0-megapixel front-facing camera that acts as a webcam for video chat, and a 5.0-megapixel camera on back for pictures and 720p high-definition video capture.

The Motorola Xoom will debut as a 3G/Wi-Fi tablet by March-end; with an upgrade to 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) in the second quarter, after which it will be available as a 4G LTE/ Wi-Fi device.

Incidentally, the Wednesday unveiling of Xoom marked Motorola Mobility's second day as a public entity; set to take on bigwig rivals - like Apple and Samsung - in the smartphone and tablet arena.

About the small size of the company, Jha said in an interview that, in his opinion, more than size, it is a company's ability to continue innovating which is a more crucial factor for success.
