The Motorola Xoom tablet will debut on Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless' 3G network on Feb. 24, and the operator plans to sell a subsidized version for $600 with a two-year contract. Otherwise consumers can buy the device outright for $800 without a contract.

The Xoom, which will run version 3.0 of Google's Android OS designed specifically for tablets, is being sold as a 3G device, and it will be upgraded to run on Verizon's LTE network during the second quarter.

Verizon said 3G pricing for the device will fall under its previously established tablet pricing plans: 1 GB of data for $20 per month; 3 GB for $35; 5 GB for $50 and 10 GB for $80. The carrier did not disclose what it will charge for LTE data.

The Xoom incorporates a dual-core processor with each core running at 1 GHz, delivering up to 2 GHz of processing power, and features a 10.1-inch widescreen HD display. The device supports 1080p HD video and HDMI output to display content on larger HD screens. Additionally, the Xoom has a front-facing, 2-megapixel camera for video chats over Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE, as well as a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera that captures video in 720p HD.
