Motorola Xoom Tablet Pre-Orders Available For A Shocking $1,200 Motorola is ready to ship what may be the most overpriced product in the history of tech: the Android-based Xoom tablet is available for preorder from Best Buy for $1,199. This is a fairly high-end version of the tablet with a 32GB hard drive and 3G. The Xoom also the first tablet running Android 3.0, the first version of Google's OS tailored specifically for tablets. But $1,200? That' s not just way more than rumored. That's not just way more than the comparable iPad, which costs $729. That's the same price as the 11-inch MacBook Pro, which is Apple's top of the line portable computer -- a full-fledged notebook computer running a full-fledged operating system and a full complement of apps. It's more than the Macbook Air, which starts at $999. It's more than most ultraportable Windows notebooks. That's nearly FOUR TIMES the price of the cheapest netbook PCs on the market. It even makes Windows tablets look cheap by comparison. Motorola must be living on a different planet from the rest of us: earlier this month the company decided to charge $500 for Atrix, which is basically a glorified cellphone dock with a screen. From: sfgate.com Not to worry, there is hope! Our resident Android lover and Apple hater will buy one of each of those POS toys. (VBG)
