TELUS Mobility today announced that it will carry the Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi edition tablet when it is released in April.
“We are thrilled to bring the first Android 3.0 powered tablet to Canadians. Almost by the month, Canadians are doing more through multiple ‘screens’ which tablets and smartphones provide. They’re a dashboard for our busy lives and on-the-go entertainment needs,” said David Fuller, Chief Marketing Officer at TELUS. “TELUS is committed to delivering not only multiple screens, but the very best screens for the job. The MOTOROLA XOOM boasts best-in-class features and a rich mobile experience in one breathtaking package. This was worth waiting for.”
While the Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi edition does not have a cellular connection of its own, TELUS suggests that it can be paired to a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot-enabled smartphone such as the upcoming Motorola DEFY (pricing and availability not revealed) and a TELUS Voice and Data Flex plan.
TELUS also indicated that pricing will start at CA$599.99, the same as Future Shop pre-order pricing.
Does this mean that TELUS will also offer the upcoming Motorola XOOM 3G when it comes out mid-year?
