The Motorola Xoom tablet on Verizon Wireless represents the next generation in tablet. With its 1GHz dual-core processor, the Xoom has the fastest internals of any tablet available today. And if you really want speed, the Xoom will run on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, which could stream HD video to the Xoom in real time. Delivered with 32GB of file storage, the Xoom also features front- and rear-facing cameras, and it will support video chat. Holding everything together is Android 3.0 (also known as “Honeycomb”), which is an operating system specifically designed for tablet computing.

The Motorola Xoom is available at a great price from Wirefly.

Can’t wait for the full thing!
According to Strategy Analytics, a market research firm, the iPad captured 75.3% of the tablet market while Android took 21.3% in the 4th quarter of 2010. While this is an impressive take by Apple, this is a big slip of 95.5% it took in the 3rd quarter to Androids 2.3%. Most of these Android Tablet sales are presumed to be the Galaxy Tab. Just wait till the Xoom comes out. I’ll be first to predict that before 2011 is over Apple will have less than 50% of the market with a big chunk of the Android market being taken by the Motorola Xoom.
The Ad makes sure to mention Flash Support, Holographic User Interface and Google Talk with Video that lets you chat with any Google Talk enabled device including handset, pc, tablet or other) What would other be??? 
I’m getting excited. Aren’t you?
According to Motorola CEO SanjayJha, the Motorola Xoom Tablet is on schedule to be released in late February, although there is a slight possibility it could be delayed until March. Also, he confirmed that the 4G LTE upgrade is on track to be rolled out in the 2nd quarter. Save your pennies folks, looks like it’s almost here.
Pretty cool I’d say.
News has surfaced via internal company documents that Best Buy will be receiving stock of the Motorola Xoom Tablet on February 16th for release the next day at a price of $699. It will come with 32gb internal memory which should make it competitive with the iPad 32gb wifi/3g model. No word yet on how cheap the Xoom will be when purchased with a verizon wireless plan. Expect several hundred off this price though.
Silicon Valley Insider is reporting that HTC is rushing a tablet codenamed ‘Flyer’ that it intends to release shortly before the Motorola Xoom. With Motorola having exclusive first dibs for the Android 3.0 Honeycomb software, HTC will reportedly install Android 2.3 on the device but upgrade it when 3.0 is available. This is shaping up to be one big battle of the tablets.
According to Digitimes and Quanta Computer out of Taiwan, Motorola has ordered between 700,000-800,000 Xoom tablets to be delivered before the end of Q1. The same report has Research in Motion ordering 1 million Playbook tablets for the same time period. This looks like it is shaping up to be quite a battle. My bet would be on the Xoom.
