The Droid Xyboard or Xoom 2 in the UK, is an Android-based tablet computer by Motorola, which was announced by Motorola Mobility on November 3, 2011.[2]

Compared to its predecessor, the Motorola Xoom, Motorola's website said that the Droid Xyboard would be "10 percent lighter", "33 percent thinner", have an "improved HD 10.1-inch screen", and would be able to "stream PC files to your tablet with MotoCast™". The website also claims the tablet's 1.2 GHz dual-core processor "boosts speed by 20 percent".[3]

There is an optional active capacitive stylus available, sold separately.
