The Motorola Droid XYBOARD, in both 10.1 and 8.2-inch varieties, is barreling towards a launch at Verizon. There is no set release date for the first tablet entries into the Droid lineup, but accessories arriving in Verizon stores are as good a sign as any that it could be soon. Seen in stock were docking stations, screen protectors, and a Smart Cover-esque “protective portfolio.” The packaging provides a glimpse of the XYBOARD channeling Ghost Rider with its fiery Droid eye.
Both slates will be 4G LTE equipped out of the box and should be available with several storage options ranging from 16GB to 64GB. Prices on-contract could range from $429 for the lowest capacity 8.2-inch model to $729 for the highest capacity 10.1-inch XYBOARD. Will updated hardware and a new name be enough to propel the XYBOARD past the so-so sales of the original Motorola XOOM on Verizon? We will be finding out soon enough.
