Leak: Costco Getting Ready For A Feb 24 Motorola Xoom Release Date

It seems that not only Best Buy is making preparations for the rumored February 24th Motorola Xoom release date. According to a leaked internal Costco doc, the warehouse club is also getting ready for the strangely not yet officially confirmed Motorola Xoom release date.

According to the same doc, Costco will receive a live demo device on February 22nd and a lot of Xooms will arrive to each warehouse on Feb 24 ( here’s hoping Costco will also begin selling them on the same day ).

Other interesting details ? It seems that you’ll have to get a month-to-month or pay-as-you-go service plan in order to get your hands on the Motorola Xoom.

Oh snap ! Did you notice the “10 Reasons to Ditch the iPad” .pdf document mentioned in the pic above ? It would really be interesting to see what their reasons are. However we already know that Motorola Xoom kills not only the iPad but also BlackBerry PlayBook and Dell Streak 7, at least on paper.

Another interesting info that would have been nice to find out is the Motorola Xoom price tag at Costco. We’re really curious to see the official price, although leaked documents from both Best Buy and Verizon are pointing towards a $799.99 Motorola Xoom price tag. On top of that it seems that in order to unlock the Wi-Fi functionality you’ll have to get at least a one month data plan. And no, we refuse to believe that the rumored/leaked $1200 price is more than a mistake, typo or whatever you want to call it.

So all-in-all, is the rumored price of the Motorola Xoom a put-off for you? Will you rather wait for the logically cheaper Wi-Fi only Motorola Xoom ? Or will you go out and pre-order Motorola Xoom from Best Buy today ? Let us know in the comments section.

Thanks Android Central for letting us know about this leaked Costco doc that points to the rumored Feb 24 Motorola Xoom release date.
