Doesn't surprise me at all. I expect prices to go down much further in the coming months. From my one month experience with the Xoom, most people ask me if I am using an iPad. And when I say it is a Xoom Android tablet, I get a look of confusion. That is the problem coming late to the party. Maybe the iPad 2 shortages will help make people more aware that there are other options like Xoom. I just wish Google would get all of the missing features fixed (microSD card) along with better stability with apps. The frustration with force closures of existing apps on the Xoom will frustrate clueless consumers. The compatibility checks being done on Google Market and Amazon appstore are a joke right now. Getting the market apps to not allow download if it is going to force close is a huge first step to a better user experience.

Who care if it drops $10.00. I've already used it and enjoy it since Friday. Over 3 days of playing with it. Would I return it and buy it for $10.00 lower. Heck no.

Would they ever drop another $50.00? Not any time soon. Keep in mind that the sweet spot price range has already been established by Apple to be the norm. That is $599.99 for 32GB WIFI device. So no matter if it is Motorola, Samsung, or LG. As long as the spec is comparable, if not better and has 32GB. They will try to price it close if not exact.

Everyone want a piece of the pie Apple baked. Late or not, there are plenty of pie for everyone. We live in the world of over 3 billions people. You think there is a PERFECT device for everyone. Nope.

I think what'll happen is that Moto will come out with a different SKU with less "stuff," say 16GB storage and no GPS, and price it at the $499 level. This both justifies the current Xoom pricing, at the same time allow the Xoom to be price-competitive.

I think the price drop has more to do with trying to compete with Costco and Sams clubs competitive pricing from the beginning, don't think too much should be read into this.
Amazon was also offering the wifi version for $589 during the pre order period long before it was released.

You should be able to just take the receipt in and they adjust the price...I did mine yesterday.

OH NO A PRICE DROP AFTER ONE DAY! THEY MUST BE DISCONTINUING OUR DEVICE! WHAT WILL WE EVER DO! DAMN THAT PRICE COMPETITION AND MULTIPLE VENDORS!!!!

There, am I doing it right?

guess what, costo is now selling it for 589

Costco has been selling the wifi xoom for $589 from day 1. It is actually the other retailers like amazon and best buy that are trying to match costco's price point.
