Motorola XOOM launch price leaked
Just days after it had been officially outed at CES 2011, the 1st pre-order pages for the upcoming Motorola XOOM tablet have arrived using the Android 3.0 touting device pegged which has a whopping £720 asking price.
Having initially appeared around the HandTec.co.uk website priced £659.99, the first device to get announced with Google’s tablet-friendly Android Honeycomb OS saw its already over inflated price further increased to the hefty £719.99 mark.
Set to come furnished with an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 10.1-inch 1280 x 800p display able to handle 16:9 cinema-spec video content, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera alongside a 720p HD video recording capable 5-megapixel snapper on the rear, the XOOM attempt to challenge Apple’s market leading iPad atop in the tablet tables when released later that year.
Featuring 32GB of in-built storage alongside, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity capabilities the XOOM, if HanTec’s £720 pricing is an accurate portrayal of final pricing, will come in over £100 higher priced than the usual similarly speced iPad with entry model prices for that Apple tablet kicking off as little as £439.
Offered up alongside the Xoom, HandTec are presenting a selection of pre-orderable Motorola tablet accessories having a speaker dock, portfolio case and wireless keyboard already available. A definitive official UK release date and pricing for that XOOM has not announced by Motorola.
Can the XOOM certainly be a true iPad beater?
