By now I’m sure you have all read tons and tons about the Xoom by now, and if you haven’t you should at least check out our Motorola Xoom Unboxing. I have some great news for you. We have just got word from our friends over at Droid Life about the Wifi-Only Xoom and that it very well may launch at the low low price of $539 at Sam’s Club. This would be great news, and just in time with Apple’s recent iPad 2 announcement and pricing that I’m sure many of you saw.
Considering we recently heard that the Wifi model would be released at a $599 price point, hearing that it could very well be selling for lower is very exciting. I know I and many others will probably jump on that price. I expect others like Best Buy, and Costco to possibly have similar prices if this turns out true.
This news comes out after Sam’s Club had their annual Year’s Beginning Meeting, it was then followed with in-store pictures of boxes and prices tags. With them already setting up end isle displays, and price signs the release can’t be far off. Maybe they know something we dont, either way I hope it comes sooner than later.
For all the Xoom info you can handle. Feel free to follow the links below for more information.

Does it say; Android 2.0 Honeycomb?
I believe it says “Homeycomb”
Yes definitely says Android 2.0 Homeycomb. Maybe Sam’s club created a generic version and thats why the price is so low.
No. It actually says homey comb. I am calling BS.
This is getting around the net. . . funny though, not one of the “big tech sites” have picked it up but they are usually very quick with everything Apple. . . so sad!
YES! Now that’s a price I can get on board with! All I need is wi-fi since I can hotspot with my Evo if I need to 🙂
Android 2.0 HoMeycomb? Either this is a bad fake or some store manager needs to be taught what spell check is. Almost as bad as a display I saw at Sam’s one time that was selling paintball games and came with free googles! LMAO!
2.0 or 3.0 I would buy this device for $539 !!!
it’s a test display — oddities added to make sure its not seen as final

There is a typo on the poster,
Android 2.0 Honeycomb – should be Android 3.0 !
Dude, spell check can’t tell what Android version Honeycomb is.
Oh wait, I feel dumb. Its spelled wrong.
Don’t hold your breath. I’d bet there are contract clauses delaying the wifi only units, likely 90 days or more.

My local sams & wal mart won’t have it on the 27th. I preordered mine at best buy, will pick up tomorrow. The store will only have 5 of them (counting mine).
