According to reports, the much-awaited Motorola Xoom tablet device will likely be obtainable with a 3G contract which will be fairly similar to that of the Apple iPad provided that Verizon sustain its existing tablet contract plan that it offers with Samsung's 3G-capable Galaxy Tab.
The carrier’s present across-the-board pricing strategy for tablets is such that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is accessible only one way – that is, for full price of $499.99 with a month-to-month 3G contract.
However, tablet 3G data pricing is slightly different from iPad pricing in the sense that while the iPad offers a 2GB data plan for $25 per month, on a month-to-month basis.
The speculations of an iPad-like pricing for the Xoom in fact branch from the rumors that the cost of the device will range between $699 and $799. In contrast, the iPad 3G ranges from $629 to $829.
Meanwhile, though Verizon has stated that the “Xoom device will release as a 3G/WI-Fi-enabled gadget in Q1 2011 with an upgrade to 4G LTE in Q2,” it is still to be set its pricing strategy is in the offing for the approaching Motorola tablet.
