The Motorola XOOM has just gotten its first long promo spot posted up to YouTube, and as with everything we have seen of this tablet so far, it’s getting us pretty excited. The sheer beauty of a MotoBlur-less Honeycomb (Android 3.0) interface is almost enough for us to give this tablet an early “Best Android Tablet” ranking, but throw in an NVIDIA dual-core Tegra 2 processor and some serious specs it’s hard to deny this could be a winner.
But will the XOOM be held back by factors that aren’t so appealing? How about that Verizon data contract? The absence of a Wi-Fi-only model means consumers will be stuck buying up the 3G-upgradeable-to-4G model, good or bad. And the cost is sure to be even higher than the Samsung Galaxy Tab price tag many turned their nose up at. Could the XOOM lose out to certain users who will wait for Honeycomb to hit other, possibly cheaper tabs?
