The Motorola DROID XYBOARD 10.1 has a 10.1-inch screen, just like on its predecessor the Motorola XOOM. It's reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass and Motorola's own splash-resistant coating for even better protection. Under the hood, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor brings plenty of software muscle and there's 1GB of RAM to back it up. There's also a 5MP camera on the back, and a 1.3MP shooter up front and you can record images and video.
