Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha revealed some pricing details for the upcoming Motorola XOOM tablet. The news is not quite as bad as recent rumours putting the price at US$1200 suggested but may still prove to be steep enough to prevent it from being a runaway success.
Confirming earlier rumours, Verizon Wireless will offer the Motorola XOOM for US$799 with no contract. A Wi-Fi-only model is set to sell around the US$600 mark.
There is no confirmation yet if customers will in fact need to pay for at least one month of data service to enable Wi-Fi.
