Xoom 2 models are already announced for this year, but only at or after the official ICS unveiling. Late Oct or Nov.

The timing of the Razr launch was to steal some thunder from its main competition, the Samsung Nexus. Since it necessarily had to precede the Nexus (and ICS) announcement, no ICS-related stuff can be mentioned. That's why the Razr only sported Gingerbread in the unveiling.

Xoom 2 pronouncements from Moto CEO as "appearing this year" are on record, along with specs/pics leak. Moto wouldn't have moved the Xoom to the low-end (Family Ed) without a corresponding high-end to cover the gap.

Moto CEO mentioned the new toys during Moto's 2Q earnings call. While not an official product announcement, it is straight from the horse's mouth.

Whether these will sport ICS at release is an iffy proposition at this point. I had thought these 1st-tier vendors would have advance access to ICS code, and would hit the ground running upon its unveiling, but that may not be the case. Per Asus' CEO intimations from his AsiaD interview, ICS tabs may not happen until year-end.

BTW, the Asus TF Prime w/ Tegra 3 quad, slated for Nov 9 announcement, is certainly a nice toy, with or without ICS (preferably with). Moto Xoom2 will be hard put to compete.
