iFixit Motorola Xoom Honeycomb Tablet Teardown: SIM Slot Waiting for LTE. Good Repairability Score

FYI: Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is no longer to cool Android tablet. That title has shifted to the first Honeycomb (Android OS 3.0) tablet: The Motorola Xoom. Here’s what iFixit found when they took it part.

Motorola Xoom Teardown

– The Xoom works with Verizon’s 3G wireless data network. Verizon’s CDMA voice network does not use a SIM card as GSM networks do (AT&T & T-Mobile in the U.S.). However, the XOOM has a dummy SIM card ready to be replaced when Verizon provides its 4G (LTE) upgrade.

– There is no need for a special prying tool to take the tablet apart.
