As we put rubber to road on our Motorola Xoom review, it’s important to note that it was only a matter of time before the Android army delivered a proper iPad competitor. Moto’s partnership with Google (and use of the 3.0 version of its mobile operating system, Honeycomb ), has made that assumed inevitability a very serious reality. There can be little question that the Xoom is certainly a contender for the hearts and minds of potential tablet buyers in the market. Besides boasting that fancy new software (a completely redesigned experience masterminded by the man behind webOS, Matias Duarte ), the Xoom is equipped with formidable hardware. The 1GHz, NVIDIA Tegra 2-based slate boasts a sizable 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 capacitive display, 3G connectivity (Verizon on our review unit), along with front and rear facing cameras, HD video capability, and loads of wireless options. Not only is the Xoom clearly competitive (and frankly, more stacked) than most of its competition, Motorola has attempted to futureproof the device by offering a free hardware upgrade down the road which will give the tablet access to Big Red’s 4G LTE network. Of course, all this power comes with a cost… literally. With a list price off contract of $799, the Xoom is quite a pricey piece of technology to own. Still, with all that’s packed inside — and more importantly with what Google has done on the software side — the Xoom could represent the next stage of tablet evolution. Is it time to take the plunge? Read on for our definitive answer in the full Engadget review!

The full horrors of Tuesday’s devastating earthquake in Christchurch were revealed yesterday as the death toll nudged up to 75 and some survivors were rescued after 24 hours buried beneath tonnes of rubble in New Zealand’s second city. The city centre remained sealed off last night as emergency teams battled fading hopes of rescuing more victims of the catastrophic earthquake. As the death toll increased following the 6.3-magnitude tremor, the Prime Minister, John Key, declared the country’s first national state of emergency. About 300 people are still missing, mostly in the ruined central business district, which was placed under military curfew. At the heart of the cordon, teams worked…

When one considers the sheer raw courage that it must take to stand up against entrenched dictatorships, it takes a special ruthlessness to look at the quantity of tear gas canisters, sound grenades, rubber bullets and live ammunition rounds being used against them and simply see a commercial opportunity. In going ahead with the promotional tour of the Middle East ( Cameron takes arms firm chiefs on trade tour of Arab states , 22 February), he can take pride in having fully assumed that mantle. Qasim Salimi London • We should be proud of our prime minister. Potential customers in the Middle East have great need at present for guns, gas, personnel carriers and helicopters to maintain their lucrative positions that keep British banks well supplied with cash. Now if we could persuade demonstrators to take to the streets in Kuwait, perhaps it could be induced to increase its arms purchases from Britain – only a meagre £100m in the past eight years. Anthony Matthew Leicester • With the prime minister in Egypt to talk peace, while shepherding a team to promote arms sales, it looks like double standards. But it was ever thus. The reality may well be that he does not control what happens. Could big business be perhaps running government policy? Does it matter what colour the government is? Oliver Dowding Wincanton, Somerset • Gaddafi turns his armaments on “his own” people, and governments around the world condemn his actions. May we know which governments sold him those arms, and whether they now condemn him for using them as intended? John Merrigan East Molesey, Surrey • Faced with the inefficient procurement programme at the MoD, surely the government should follow its own policies and privatise the armed services? Lionel Burman Wirral , Merseyside • Given the glaring moral and political contradictions in David Cameron’s defence of selling arms to dictatorships, is this an opportunity for the Labour party to make a stand against the export of all arms to all dictatorships? Come on, Ed, do the right thing. Phil McNally Bolton • If only Cameron had taken a few funeral directors and coffin-makers to accompany the arms manufacturers, we would really have been able to show everyone Britain is “open for business”.

You laugh, but D-O-Quadruple-G does have a certain ring to it. In fact, it sounds a little like the ringing of Samsung’s Galaxy Indulge , which is tucked inside the pocket of MetroPCS’ CEO right about now. You see, the aforesaid carrier has presumably paid Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Dogggg, as he’ll be known until he scurries outside of a 4G coverage area) to change his name in order to celebrate the commercial launch of the world’s first LTE Android smartphone. The Froyo-based phone is just barely beating out LG’s Revolution and HTC’s Thunderbolt , and you can bet that MetroPCS is doing everything it can to let the world know about it. Taking things one step further too far, Snoop’s also appearing a new series dubbed “The G-Connection,” and you can peek the first episode just after the brizzle. For rizzle, homedizzle.

Continue reading …Clearly Newt Gingrich has been preparing and rehearsing endlessly for this question , “You adamantly oppose gay rights… but you’ve also been married three times and admitted to having an affair with your current wife while you were still married to your second. As a successful politician who’s considering running for president, who would set the bar for moral conduct and be the voice of the American people, how do you reconcile this hypocritical interpretation of the religious values that you so vigorously defend?” This question was asked, eloquently and with “due respect,” by a college student, Isabel Friedman, who is President of the College Democrats at The University of Pennsylvania . I assume she framed the question carefully so as not to give Newt ammunition against her. For instance, she did not bring up that this extramarital affair with now-wife Callista Gingrich lasted over six years, and overlapped with the time he was pushing for the impeachment of Bill Clinton with a lot of pro-family values talk. She did not bring up a host of other skeletons in the Gingrich closet , or the fact that he resigned his office as House Speaker on ethics grounds. No one in the mainstream media EVER brings THAT up. Newt’s answer, nevertheless, is extremely rehearsed. “I’ve had a life which, on occasion, has had problems. I believe in a forgiving God, and the American people will have to decide whether that’s their primary concern. If the primary concern of the American people is my past, my candidacy would be irrelevant, if the primary concern of the American people is the future . . . that’s a debate I’ll be happy to have.” On the other hand, “The American People” can’t decide about the personal life of a candidate if David Gregory continues to have Newt on his show and never brings it up. And really, we’re all to the point with Gingrich (and his blatant and not occasional hypocrisy about sex) that his permanent seat on Meet the Gregory (h/t Daily Show) says more about David Gregory than it does about Newt Gingrich, the end.
