The Motorola Xoom: $800 Unsubsidized, $600 for WiFi-only

There she is. The Motorola Xoom is hitting the market at a whooping $800 sans any carrier subsidize for the 3G version with the WiFi model fetching $600. The Moto's CEO failed to state in the Reuters report when the Honeycomb tablets will go on sale -- or pre-order for that matter -- although it could be as early tomorrow. He also failed to address the nagging little disclaimer found in the Best Buy circular indicating that the WiFi will be locked without one month of VZW's pricey data. This pricing puts the 32GB Xoom nearly on par with the 32GB iPad. Both tablets ask $600 for the WiFi-only version while the 32GB 3G iPad is just slightly less at $730. Of course that's for the first gen iPad, with things likely being slightly different for the iPad 2. Apple's price points could stay very similar to the current model, but the storage level could increase, which would make the Xoom appear in a different tier altogether. It would still sell, though.
