One of the more anticipated tablets that came out at CES 2011 was the Motorola Xoom — it was a crowd favorite and will be out on February 24.
The pre-order page on Best Buy indicates the suggested retail price will not be cheap — $799 for the 3G version (and a rumored $599 for the WiFi-only model).
That translates to Php34,600. That doesn’t factor in some import fees and VAT so expect it to be much more expensive when it hits the Philippines (I’d say Php40k).

Mahal naman nito,o. Gusto ko lang mag-internet, eh.
sir where’s your store located?
does this tablet have a sim slot and does it work here in the Phils.? because i believed its partnered with Verizons
I am selling this Motorola Xoom for only Php 26,000. No joke. Original, mura siya because we are a wholesaler. Contact me if interested. de****@****.***
Masyado mahal kumpara sa mga iba
Just an fyi, all applications in the Android Market are compatible with the Honeycomb OS. It’s a very big advantage over the rotting iOS which makes apps different for the iPad and smaller devices: iPhoney and iPod Touch. Feature-wise, Xoom will easily own the iPad and its predecessor anytime.
The other guys are right in saying that this is another niche of the market. Buy one if you want one. If you can and want an iDevice, why won’t you want a way better Android device? :D
I like iPad the best in all the tablet waiting for ipad2
I have all the tablets but I like I pad
what a waste of peso
unlocked bootloader confirmed. I bet that alone increased the likability of the Xoom if not for Honeycomb and the specs.
As i see on hands on video on youtube during CES event. The price quite justifies it’s initial price. App developers is apt for this!
@21: Merong i5 na ‘tig 35-40K so mas maganda pa. lol
Back to topic. Niche pa rin ang tablet market.. Or for those who can actually dish out that much money without too much fuss.
The input’s not that good too. I don’t see myself typing on a touch-screen for more than 15 minutes. Netbook/notebook pa rin ang maiging bilhin for productvity.
I’m having difficulty choosing a brand for my first tablet.. Xoom’s as heavy as the iPad. Tapos, the Galaxy Tab (and most of their other products) are not assured of future updates for android pero it weighs less compared to the iPad and Xoom.
Decisions, decisions.
Di ko malunok ang presyo ng tabletang ito.
hinakot na ng apple yung karamihan sa mga materyales na kailangan sa paggawa ng tablets.
Android tablets are more expensive kase mas maraming features ang offer nito kaysa sa ipad. Ipad does not support flash. Wala ding camera na nagrerecord ng Full HD at hindi customizable ang OS dahil masyadong closed ang ecosystem ng Apple. Having said that, I’d still choose a the cheaper iPad kase rich sa apps and swak sa budget. But feature-wise, lamang na laman ang android tablets. OA lang sa mahal.
Android is open source, but building a computing device doesn’t mean it’s only running on the standard OS. There are other components installed and being used by the system which are licensed by other companies. That is the reason for the high price despite of Android being open source
Software lang ba ang basis ng price ng isang gadget?
Lets wait for the rest of the herd before we decide that android is not really for tablets..
dami talaga di alam ang difference ng tablet sa laptop….. kaya nga tablet eh…. haizttt
Can the Xoom make calls?
at 40k magandang laptop specs na yan or add ka 10k para sa brandnew na mga macbook na.
at 21k starting price and a 1 year headstart ipad is still the tablet to beat. and sigurado pag lumabas yun ipad2 same price range lang din yan ng ipad1 since official na ang ipads sa pinas.
