Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc's Xoom tablet will sell for an unsubsidized $799 at Verizon Wireless, with WiFi-only version priced at around $600 price, chief executive Sanjay Jha said on Wednesday.

I'll be at BestBuy next week with around $600. Still wished it had an IR so it could double as a HT remote.

Heh get a home automation software like charmed quark and the andriod app and it can control much more than your HT :D

In like most advertising, it's how much they "think" people will pay. All advertising is a virtual test... it only matters what the market will bare. Of course some people will purchase it... thousands will. In my opinion they will not sell more than 100k in Q1, as they are (hoping) telling everyone over 300,000... wishful thinking. I don't think even Verizon is dumb enough to purchase a ton of those.

Most likely he is talking about a Laser Disc Player, which then was taken over by popular CD Players a few years later. Back in the early to mid-80's... LDP's were the rage.

Nothing in the BB Ad about a $600 option. In fact, Verizon wants you to activate for at least one month to allow you even use WiFi on the $800 tab. I'm frankly just speechless at the audacity.

I want to see if wifi only version is really available. How come the launch. Of Xoom is so choppy and so little official communication/updates out there.... Ipad2 will have both verions available at the same time and the ipad event is big, official and successful.

I played with xoom in a local store today and am not very impressed. Honestly, don't thing it will stand a chance to win the hearts of the mass tablet potential buyers. Still the 7 inches galaxy tab is just next to the xoom and the form factor and price is still way more attractive than the xoom. To me, xoom just doesn't stand out from the competition.
