According to an ad from Best Buy, we should be seeing the Motorola Xoom Android tablet launched on February 24th. The ad prices the device at $799.99 with a data plan starting at $20 per month for 1GB and going up to $80 per month for 10GB. This is apparently identical to current data plans for the Samsung Galaxy Tab through Verizon.
So, the $700-$800 price range that has been rumored along with a February launch date all seem likely for tablet fans anticipating the Xoom. Motorola has also launched a portal site for the Xoom which features their Super Bowl ad.
The ad references Apple’s 1984 ad, featuring a sterile civilization with a bunch of people in white wearing white earbuds….except for the one normal guy with a Motorola Xoom tablet. He appears to be using the tablet’s navigation feature to find his new job. The ad appears to hint that, when it comes to the tablet market, most people just aren’t paying attention to what’s important. Check it out below.
