The Spanish arm of Motorola Mobility has just announced the launch of the world's first Honeycomb tablet, the Motorola XOOM in Spain through El Corte Ingles.

The tablet will be available sometime this month for a suggested retail price of 599€ without contract.

Although the official statement mentions that the XOOM will be delivered with Android 3.0 Honeycomb on board, there's a high chance that the tablet will carry a newer Android version.

However, the rest of specs are the same, including the 1GHz dual-core processor and the 1 GB of RAM.

As expected, Motorola XOOM offers users really fast performance thanks to its powerful dual-core processor.

In addition, the tablet presents itself as the ultimate customization tool with an interactive, customizable homescreen with moveable widgets, notifications and tabbed web browsing.

Obviously, the tablet comes with a large 10.1-inch widescreen HD capacitive touchscreen display with 16 million colors support and 1280 x 800 pixels resolution.

The high resolution and the size of the display allow for a richer and clearer video content than one would expect from a mobile device.

In addition, support for HDMI enables users to watch videos and movies on larger screens, such as HD televisions.

Motorola XOOM is the benchmark for Android 3.0 and what the tablet experience needs to be. Designed from the ground up with users in mind, now with a 3G version, it provides additional ways to connect with friends have fun and stay productive while on the move,” said Juan Carlos de la Vela, managing director at Motorola Mobility España.

Motorola XOOM sports an average 5-megapixel camera with HD video recording capabilities, as well as a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats.

The device has a built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer, adaptive lighting and supports up to 10 hours of video playback.
