[Q] xoom screen

[Gnudoll]

My partner has been telling me horror stories about xoom screens cracked by largish cats walking on them. Is this hoking, or are the Xoom screens actually that delicate? What I'm asking, I guess, is just h0w fragile are the xoom screen, in fact?

Never heard of such a thing. They are just not that fragile. I've had mine over a year and have drpped it a few times (usually in some kind of lightweight case) and no sign of cracking/damage.

My cousin sat his fat ass on mine multiple times and hes easily 325. Still perfectly fine. That cat would have to be pretty darn big to crack the screen.

I think concerns over the screen cracking are not likely warranted, but other types of screen damage can still happen from pressure. I tripped getting out of a tent last summer and landed with my full weight down on the screen through the heel of my hand. There was definitely a small screen blemish when touching the screen (similar to how it looks when pushing hard on the screen normally), but the glass was still fine. These things are pretty versatile.

The screen is pretty tough. If dropped mine a total of 2 times, both times face flat on concrete and not a sign of damage other than the backlight a tinsy bit dimmer than before.

Oh, and my father in law, about 300lbs sat on it once.

I read from gsmarena that glass display of xoom has not gorilla glass. Is that true?

Gorrila glass or not, that spec is a gimmic anyway.

Hardened tempered glass is what the xoom has, and almost every other capacitive touch screen device out there. It will get scratched if you are not carefull, and will break if you abuse it.

Bottom line is this: if you want a great tablet that has amazing dev support and all the ports a tablet should have in the first place (except full size usb, but we cant have everything can we), then a xoom is what you want.

Youd have to go to africa to find a cat big enough to break the xoom
