Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi only now available for 329 GBP
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
Not sure whether we should put the “hot deal” sign near this… Motorola Xoom is now available for 329 GBP (about $540) from Dixons in the UK. If this deal was available 6 months ago, we would definitely go all crazy about it; alas today it’s a very different market and I’m not sure that many people actually want Moto’s Honeycomb tablet with so many other options available for pretty much the same amount of cash. Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer is definitely a better device thanks to its detachable QWERTY keyboard / external battery pack. But if you want just the tablet “part,” you may want to grab the Xoom anyways.
The 3G-enabled Xoom, in case you wonder, could be yours for 399 GBP, which translate...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
Motorola has started to email XOOM customers to alert them that it will begin to upgrade the XOOM with support for 4G LTE next week. According to Droid-Life, Motorola will start with business and government customers during a “pilot program” first and then will begin updating XOOMs owned by the general public. Customers will need to file an upgrade request before Motorola mails a package containing a pre-paid FedEx box and instructional material. Motorola suggests backing up the data on your XOOM before sending it in and said the process should take approximately three business days. Read on for an image confirming the details.

Motorola Xoom getting Android 3.1 in Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
Motorola has finally started rolling out Android 3.1 updates for its Xoom tablet. The keyword here is “started” — just because some people you know already got it, it doesn’t mean you’ll get the update on the same day too. Quite the contrary, the launch will go “in stages”. Here’s what the company said at its Facebook page:

Official: Verizon Motorola Xoom owners get 4G LTE upgrade in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaVerizon WirelessXOOM
The Motorola Xoom, the very first device to run Google’s tablet version of Android known as Honeycomb, hit store shelves on February 24th of this year. When Verizon announced it, they said that at some point in the future, most likely during the summer, customers will be able to get a free hardware upgrade that adds support for 4G LTE. Such an upgrade will require that you send your Xoom in for modification, and it’ll take up to a week to perform the necessary labor. To say Xoom owners have been impatient with regards to finding out when this free upgrade program would begin would be an understatement. The situation didn’t exactly improve when earlier this week Verizon announced that they’d ...

Motorola XOOM tablet 4G LTE upgrade coming in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
If you can remember way back to February of this year when Verizon Wireless launched the Motorola XOOM, the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet to hit the market, the carrier had promised that it would get its anemic 3G CDMA radio upgraded to a speedy 4G LTE unit by this summer. Well, it appears Verizon's summer extends into September, as we have just received word from the carrier that the ninth month of this year is when the LTE upgrade will be available to XOOM owners.
Users will still have to part with their precious tablets for a undetermined amount of time in order to send the XOOM in to Motorola to get the upgrade, but the company has said in the past that it should take no longer than...

Android 3.2 Hits Motorola Xoom, SDK Released
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMotorolaGoogleXOOMAndroid 3.2
Android 3.2 Honeycomb has just been released and it includes a number of bug fixes and other upgrades to the tablet version of Google’s mobile software platform. Moreover, the release shows better support for multiple screen resolutions, which means manufacturers can just go nuts with their screen sizes, within reason. What we have to look forward to are 7-inch Android tablets, which are arguably more portable than their 10-inch counterparts.

Motorola began issuing the Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) update to Wi-Fi XOOM owners on Tuesday.

Android 3.2 will also add support for smaller tablets with 7-inch screens, many of which currently run older versions of Android such as Gingerbread. Google also announced that it is releasing parts of the Android 3.2 source code to the Android Open Source Project.

Motorola UK offering free wireless keyboard and mouse with Xoom tablet purchase
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMotorolaXOOM
We know Motorola has started slashing prices of the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi tablet pretty much everywhere, though we’re not sure whether it’s the result of poor sales and increased competition or the upcoming release of Xoom 2. Whatever the reason behind Moto’s decision to cut prices is, we love it for allowing more people to enter the “tablet space.”
Instead of directly cutting prices, Motorola has a bit different strategy in the UK. At the moment of this writing, their British division is offering free wireless keyboard and mouse with every Xoom tablet purchase. The deal is good while stocks last, so you better hurry.

Motorola Xoom WiFi price cut to $499 - Slow sales or Xoom 2 coming?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMotorolaXOOMXOOM 2
The price of the Motorola Xoom WiFi has been cut seemingly everywhere, no longer making Costco the go-to place for the first Honeycomb tablet. You can now grab the Xoom for only $499 in most places and even cheaper at Staples.
The Motorola Store, Amazon, and Staples now carry the tablet for the new $499 price point and the latter has a coupon code that will shave off an extra $50 from the overall price (51758). It took Moto long enough to bring the tablet’s pricing down but we’re wondering if it’s whether the competition is besting the Xoom, or if the price cut is a sign of things to come.
