Question about portrait

[stopsign002]

I know the Xoom is ment to be used in landscape, and for most things I'm sure I would use my to-be-bought-upon-tax-return Xoom that way, but I was wondering how people liked the portrait mode. I like the idea of the Xoom being long the way it is for portrait because you would be able to see a lot on a web page before needing to scroll down. On my EVO I am used to having the text quite small, so even if the text was small I don't see that as being something that would bother me, plus being a 10" tablet I wouldnt think the text would be too small in portrait anyway. I would also think it would be a little more comfortable to hold in portrait because the center of mass would be close to your hand. Thoughts from actual Xoom owners? Could any of you take a screen shot of Android Central in portrait for comparison?

I almost always use the Xoom in portrait mode for web browsing. You're dead on about the weight. I have the gel case to and it makes it just easy to hold and read that way for me.

Never tried posting pics here before, so bear with me....


Your question on this Android Central forum, on my Xoom in portrait mode:

Same page on both my Xoom & Droid X (for comaprison):

And, just to complete the comparisons, same page on Xoom, Droid X, and desktop monitor:
