It looks like the previous price of the Motorola Xoom has been confirmed by Motorola’s CEO – Sanjay Jha today. The good news is the tablet won’t cost a whopping $1,199.99 that was previously stated on Best Buy’s preorder site (apparently that was just a placeholder). The bad news is, it’s still pricey. Sanjay Jha has confirmed that their 10.1″ display Honeycomb (Android 3.0) tablet will sell for $799, unsubsidized, by Verizon Wireless. The WiFi-only version of the tablet will be sold for a more reasonable $600. You still need to sign up for a month’s worth of Verizon data service in order to activate the tablet, but at least you have the option of cancelling it if you choose to do so. What do you think of the Xoom’s price? Does it put you off or is $799 a price you’re willing to pay?
