Motorola Xoom Tablet - OFFICIAL

Motorola has officially announced a WiFi edition of the Xoom tablet

The tablet has a 10.1 inch screen which has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The operating system running is Android 3.0 Honeycomb which we have already seen in the original Xoom and on various other tablets that are soon to launch. Powering the device is a 1GHz Tegra 2 processor from NVIDIA. Basically, Motorola are providing the exact same hardware, but without the 3G/4G connection inside.

Other features include 1GB RAM and on the back, a 5 megapixel camera. Reviews of the 3G model were mixed though in that some cases, it was felt to be pushed out of the door too quick with an OS that wasn’t quite up to scratch. Hopefully Google will address these issues in the near future.

The Motorola XOOM will be available for purchase from Verizon Wireless for $600 with a new two-year contract or $800 without a contract. Wireless 3G data service for the Motorola XOOM will begin at $20 per month for 1GB data traffic. The tablet will be software-upgradeable to 4G LTE service at no additional charge in Q2 2011.

Price wise, the 32GB WiFi only model will cost $599. As for the launch date, expect to see it on March 27
