We have now received a motorola xoom tablet pc to examine. It does not have a regular hard drive to remove but an embedded storage. It does not have a CD drive to boot from nor a USB port to boot from flash memory.

So, regular acquisition methods do not seem to work with tablet pc.

Any suggestion on how to acquire image?

If the flash memory is socketed, you may be able to go that way. (Look at, say, the Motorola Xoom Teardown at ifixit . com. ) But you'll need a reader device for for that.

Alternatively, perhaps an Android app that does the job, and sends the result by to a WiFi client …

Otherwise, the old-fashioned way mount a camera over the device, walk through the pages, and take a photo of every page you see.

According to the spec page there is a Micro USB connector.

And you can mount the device under Windows with a drive letter.

The flash chip doesn't look to be in a socket.

That is a 169 FBGA, so you will have to unsolder it.

You can pick up BGA sockets and headers on eBay.

Cellebrite supports it.

Thank you EVERYONE for the answers.

hmorgan, We have the cellebrite and I have checked cellebrite supported phones, but I have not seen any Motorola Xoom tablet pc in the list. Are you sure that it is supported or does it seem to be listed under a different name?

Not being the phone guy here and without a Xoom to test it….

On Cellebrite UFED its under Motorlola GSM as MZ601 Xoom.
