Moto Expects to Ship 800,000 Xoom Tablets in Q1
Xoom, Xoom, Xoom...
Announced at CES, Motorola’s Xoom was one of the bigger headlines to come out of Las Vegas last week. As if being the talk of Sin City wasn’t enough, rumor has it the company is hoping to ship hundreds of thousands of units in the first three months of 2011. Digitimes cites sources within component suppliers that claim Moto has placed orders for about 700,000-800,000 units with four color options for the first quarter of this year.
The tablet sports Nvidia’s dual core Tegra 2 processor, a 10.1-inch widescreen 1280x800 HD display, HDMI out, 1080p video playback, two cameras (2-megapixels up front and 5-megapixels + LED Flash in the back), a built-in gyroscope, barometer, compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting for new types of applications. This impressive spec-list, combined with the fact that this baby comes with support for Verizon’s LTE network and the latest version of Android for tablets (Android 3.0/Honeycomb), means it represents the latest in tablet tech across the board.
No release date or pricing for the device have been announced but it obviously won’t be too far into the quarter, as Motorola clearly has big plans for shipment numbers.

Just can't wait for it to come out in the UK. I've wanted one since Andy Rubin demo'd it to those two idiots who couldn't stop saying 'oh yeah, the ipad does that'.
aint that a bit over reliance on a new product that is gonna have lots of competition soon?
I see some pretty agressive pricing in our future.
Has there been a price listed on these yet?
does the xoom have standard usb support? I know the asus transformer does. Im between the two, usb support is a dealbreaker for me.
First there was Zune
Now there is Xoom
Soon there will be Vroom
according to http://developer.motorola.com/products/xoom/ there is USB 2 support
I want one!
Torn between this and the NotionInk Adam...whenever that thing finally ships.
First there was ZuneNow there is XoomSoon there will be Vroom
Then there's gonna be:
Beep Beep
Aaaaaaaaah

Half of me wants to get this or some other Android 3.0 tablet. The other half is considering iPad 2.
Well competition will be tuff but this is a Pure Google tablet so more benefits.
