At a demo of the Motorola Xoom (with Google showing off the latest build of Android Honeycomb 3.0 on the Xoom too) we heard that not only does the Xoom have all the shiny new UIs and knick knacks of Android Honeycomb 3.0, it’s also got a barometer. This won’t just tell you the weather though, it also effectively cranks the GPS skills of the Motorola Xoom up a notch.
As well as giving weather information, the barometer in the Motorola Xoom also tells you how high you are, meaning it adds a whole other dimension to GPS readings. It can also speed these up, and make them more accurate.
