UK Xoom pricing

---

Seems expensive http://crave.cnet.co.uk/laptops/moto...ards-50002167/

Was pretty keen on getting one until I saw this. Surely they should be pricing it to be competitive with other tablets out there.

Also, anyone know anything about what the launch date will be in the UK?

Wow that is ridiculously high. If thats a final price they most certainly wont sell crap. Not only will Apple own them but also the Playbook. I was planning to buy this tablet but now im concerned about the pricing. They need to sell this tablet at a reasonable price of $400-$600 dollars. However, I doubt this will be how much it costs. It mostly likely will go down. Wayyyy down.

Here here.

Looks like a great device, but they can't be serious about that pricing?

£500 max, absolute max. Just because the iPad is overpriced, doesn't mean Moto can get away with outpricing the overpriced.

Would be a tragedy for such a good device to fail or sell poorly purely due to pricing.

Most of us did not count in the price of the accessories yet… I think we need at least a standard dock which will cost us approximate another US100.

I wont pay more than USD1k for a tablet that does not support SD card, it is too far away from the budget for a tablet. I will focus my attention to the alternative android 3.0 tablets from Asus & Acer which will costs us approximate $400-$700.

I hate those webshops that try to profit from early adopters..

Wait....is this wifi only version or have 3G???

The rumor is that the iPad 2 will be cheaper than the original. If the prices I'm seeing on this are true, and the rumors hold for iPad 2 there is no way I can drop that kind of coin on a Xoom.

I haven't heard of a wifi only version for Europe. The information available is very vague though.

I don't think we should worry about these pricing rumours. The Nexus S was overpriced for a week before release and the Galaxy Tab was overpriced in the weeks/months before release too. These are almost certainly just guesses, we don't even know if there is an option for carrier subsidy, Wi-Fi only, etc yet

It says that SD is supported after a "software update" on Motorola's official spec sheet.
Does this mean it won't support it out of the box???
