Its microSD card slot didn't work, with the reason why never being detailed. At the time, we speculated that since Acer, Samsung and Asus all had working microSD card slots, and that XDA-Developers had hacked in support, it was due to some partner deal gone wrong.
Now it's all water under the bridge, as the Motorola Xoom Specifications is now running Android 3.1, enabling the microSD slot and host USB support along the way. It's also had a healthy price drop, from the unpalatable AU$840 down to the more sane AU$648, at least through Telstra.
That's still significantly more expensive than the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, which retails at AU$599 without its dock. You can go cheaper, too, if you choose to dance with the likes of Acer and others. Still, the Motorola Xoom has a few luxury perks it supports 5GHz Wi-Fi where many others will only do 2.4GHz, and it has a gorgeous aluminium backing.

Update : (17 Dec) : Motorola Xoom tablet gets an Ice Cream Sandwich makeover with 4.0.3
Only a day after Google released Android version 4.0.3, one XDA developer has already installed it on his Motorola Xoom WiFi tablet -- making it the first slate to run the frosty Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade. Of course, trendsetting is nothing new for the Motorola Xoom Specifications, which was also the first to ship with Honeycomb's sweetness back in February.
Being first does have its disadvantages, though, as some of the features like the camera don't work, and there seems to be a green overlay on the screen from time to time. If you're willing to overlook these early adopter flaws, head on over to the source to satisfy your ICS-inspired sweet tooth and try it for yourself.
