Motorola XOOM WiFi Getting Price Drops All Over the Place
Still in the market for a tablet? Our old friend, the Motorola XOOM, may be a bit more attractive now that it’s had its price dropped. It’s competing with Samsung who has their cheapest model going for $500. Motorola’s listed the XOOM WiFi for $500 on their site, a change we think may be permanent. The cellular-enabled version remains the same price. Other outlets are letting this thing go for less, too.
Staples is offering it for $450 when using this specific coupon code – 51758. Amazon has it for the same price as Motorola at $500. After a slow start and with uncertainty about its success, we’re not surprised by the move. We can’t say for sure whether or not this price drop was to help them remain competitive or to make room for a new tablet. Or both. Either way, we think its ship has long sailed in the light of newer, thinner, better and more affordable devices being on the table and we are patiently awaiting a followup. [Droid-Life]
