Best Buy to launch Motorola Xoom on February 17

by hadi on January 23, 2011

Engadget has got some internal documents of Best Buy showing the launch date of Motorola Xoom the Honeycomb tablet. According to the leaked docs Best Buy is going launch the Tegra 2 powered tablet on February 17. Motorola Xoom packs 32GB of internal memory and will cost you about $799.

If Apple reveals iPad 2 on February 9 then it is going to affect the sales of Motorola Xoom. As most of the people would like to buy a tablet with a vast choice of apps and games and there are more than 60,000 iPad apps and games available at iTunes App Store, and all other iPhone apps are also compatible with it. But what about Motorola Xoom? Is the Honeycomb powered tablet compatible with the old Android Market apps? If it is than still it will have a few apps at launch in comparison to Apple iPad 2.

One more thing I forgot,  there will be a huge price difference as Motorola Xoom is expected to cost about $799, whereas iPad costs $499 and I hope that iPad 2 wouldn’t cost more than the original iPad.

    This is the several tablet to be after iPad? “Come with Google’s Android Honeycomb operating system for tablets, a dual-core processor, a high-resolution (1,280×800) display, dual cameras, and the Verizon 3G (and soon-to-come 4G) network. ” I would say all this is an imitation of the iPad, though the iPad now don’t have these features, but who can tell why the tablet should get dual-core, it’s iPad, and high-resolution display , along with dual cameras, all these are bcz the one who used iPad think it’s lack of this features, or can be stronger(better in this field), so I’d to say iPad is the king, and now the iPad 2 is on the road!

    Yup, I’m waiting for iPad2. if Apple really do release a greater than Full HD screen on the iPad 2, then amazing! Even though now the 1gen iPad is also not bad with 9.7-inch high-resolution screen, perfect to me for watching HD movies, music videos(though sometimes need the help from iFunia video converter as lack of flash support) and playing around with thousands of iPad apps and iPad games.

    Well, it’s Apple creates a tablet market, so it’s no need to scared of the competitors, I believe Apple will be dominant for at least two years and probably far longer.

    P.S. watch movies and vieos on iPad freely
