Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., the newly independent mobile-phone maker, unveiled a tablet computer that uses Google Inc.’s latest operating system, aiming to chip away at the dominance of Apple Inc.’s iPad.
The device, called Xoom, will run Google Inc.’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb software, sport a 10.1-inch screen and use a speedy dual-core processor, Motorola said yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Verizon Wireless will provide service for the Xoom. Motorola Mobility also introduced a phone called the Atrix that will run on AT&T Inc.’s network.
