Motorola Xoom price official: $799 unsubsidized on Verizon, $600 for WiFi-only

[wicked]

There you have it, folks -- the exhausting saga of the Xoom's pricing has finally been laid to rest by Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha. Reuters reports a $799 levy for the 32GB Honeycomb tablet when bought with 3G (which will be upgraded to 4G) connectivity from Verizon sans subsidies, while Jha is also quoted as saying that a WiFi-only version will set buyers back only $600. The latter price matches the 32GB iPad directly, however the 3G Xoom is $70 more expensive than the Apple alternative. Sanjay failed to say when said pricing or models will become available, but there have been strong indications that pre-orders or reservations will begin tomorrow (at least at Best Buy), with the tablet launching in full on Thursday next week.

I think I can live with that $600 price tag for the Wifi only version.

Ok, I feel much more at ease now that they are officially launching a wifi only version at $600 (hoped for less, but knew it wouldn't happen). But I agree, I'm going to wait to see what the iPad2 will do to their mindset. If Apple comes out with a wifi only version, with a set price lower than $600, it may push Moto to lower their price. Its wishful thinking at least.

No price will be the same but it will "probably" have a front facing camera, HD video out, upgraded CPU, and USB.

I dont think the iPad will add a whole lot other than maybe a tablet based UI rather than a large iPod.

Don't know if I can do a tablet. Trust me I hook peoples Ipads up to their wireless all day, and they are nice, but since I have a CR-48, there's really no point.

Enjoy. I'm waiting for another non-Motorola model.
