this is just amazing, how stupid ads can be.
Blame copywriters – they’ve got one job to do. Tossers.
Almost 1000 USD?
Good luck with that.
1000 usd? My hacked gtablet just became a really good purchase.
Make’s me happy with the Adam i preordered.
That’s a great offer.
i think this will probably be one of the most sought after tablets of the year. If it comes with all the accessories ready to go from the Get go – then you have one hell of a business utility tool. Good to see motorola taking advantage of android platform and really doing well.
I Do hope they are able to price it at 500 – 600 stateside.
Cheers
$1000? no thanks ;/ anyway, Motorola Xoom looks really cool

Wait, what? Just saw this thing priced for 720 pounds, so this is a good 60 pounds of. Guess if we wait a little longer that it will drop to 599 pounds 😀
I really hope that it will be around 650€, but I’m afraid that I will have to get something else than the Xoom 🙁
It says Price To Be Confirmed now 🙂
Worth mentioning is also that the Xoom has a barometer inside, for weather forecast e.g. …
This step well enable the next high-valued application, indoor navigation which needs a high performance pressure sensor for a precise floor detection.
As far as I know Bosch builds such high precision pressure sensors…
Where is a seller for xoom in Paris

I think the price needs to come down considerably for this tablet to compete well with the iPad.
