Some of you may stick with your iPads, but for those looking for a similar Android version, you finally have a winner.

To master your new Motorola XOOM from Verizon Wireless, check out the product support page. There, you'll find interactive walkthroughs for getting started, charging the tablet, setting up contacts, extending the life of your battery, locking your screen, editing text, and adding wallpapers. Also, download the XOOM User's Guide and check out all of the video guides below to see everything in action.

But even though it's the best Android tablet on the market, it still has its flaws. Primarily, it has an inactive microSD card slot, which will not be fixed until Verizon allows users to upgrade their devices to the 4G LTE network.
