Motorola XOOM tablet priced at $1,199 at Best Buy?

Motorola’s upcoming XOOM tablet is definitely an interesting piece of kit, though some folks have baulked at the rumored $800 price tag. If you’re one of those folks, then the sighting of the tablet on Best Buy’s site for $1,199 will probably give you a heart attack (though we hope not). The listing also mentions the 1-month data activation requirement that was previously speculated, so you’ll need to pony up some additional money to Verizon before you get to enjoy this tablet. The listing has since been removed, and it’s been said that it’s just a placeholder and the final price will indeed remain $800. That’s definitely good news, and we’re hoping that there might be a deal that makes it even more affordable.
