Screen captures are currently awkward, to put it lightly.  After a brief amount of research, I believe that true screen captures can only be made after rooting the device.  I have no intentions of rooting right now, so this will have to do for now. And yes, that’s my iPhone taking the snapshot :)

 

The Home Screen

 

I have a series of icons along the left hand side of the home screen:

Camera
Web Browser:  Chrome-like
Settings: Preference settings for the device and OS
Amazon’s Shopping App

 

I can tell already that I’m going to love widgets.   I have placed a gmail widget at the center of the screen.  It is a completely scroll-able and click-able mini email app.  Click a specific email and it opens the full email app.  Click the little envelope icon in the right hand corner to compose an email.

 

To the right of the email widget is the calendar widget, which displays the current day.  Google timed the, for lack of a better word, gmailification of Google Apps domains perfectly.   Why?  My Xoom is tied completely to my Google Apps domain account.

 

Below the email and calendar app is the Music player app.  From here, there’s easy control of playing music.  I currently have Symphony of Science playing!

 

I have a few more icons along the bottom row of the screen:   Facebook, Android Market, Music, and GTalk.  Speaking of GTalk, I’ll toss out there that we tried out Google Video Chat last night between my laptop’s built-in webcam and the Xoom.  It was pretty darned cool!
