Motorola Xoom 2 and Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition

Motorola recently announced the new addition to their tablet family, 10.1" Motorola Xoom 2 and 8.2" Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition. Both features almost similar spec in terms of internal hardwares. Both running on 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM. It has a built-in storage of 16GB. It also has the similar 1.3MP front facing camera and 5MP rear camera. Both will be running on the Android 3.2.
Motorola also promises that the Xoom 2 will be receiving the IceCream Sandwich update as well. By when? That's the key question.

The 10.1" version spots the new splash guard technology by Motorola which helps to prevent spills from damaging the device. Unfortunately, the 8.2" version does not have this. It only has the standard Gorilla Glass. However, the 8.2" Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition has a 3D surround with subwoofer. Interestingly, there is a stylus pen shown in the promo video. It should be something similar as the HTC Flyer.
The device is said to be first released in the UK and Ireland. As in the US, there are currently no plans.

Below is the promo video by Motorola.
