This avoids comparing processors as noted in the opening post. Last fall we compared 1.2 Ghz overclocked Pre+'s to 1Ghz Android's in real world tests and it was not even close. An interpreter has no chance against optimized compiled code. Much slower CPU BlackBerry's and iPhone's were 2-3 times faster.

CPU speed can be a good indicator when comparing devices with the same OS and skins. But that is not our case here. The other performance factors are just as important if not more so.

Phone Arena and other sites show DLNA. Do you ahve a Xoom? Can you confirm that it does not have DLNA?

yes I have a xoom. To be frank I don't know too much about DLNA specifically and I saw there is a thread on here about it but you have to download third party apps? So it may have DLNA but it's not supported by either Google or Motorola as there is no app or no setting that I could see and it's not listed on the tech specs on the Motorola site.

Thank you!

The Moto site in January did say DLNA but it has been removed!

So either it has yet to be enabled or never had DLNA.

Either way, they took it off for now and so did I. The chart is updated to remove DLNA.

Great feedback. Anything else?
