Verizon’s Motorola Xyboard to launch this Friday

So it’s Friday, and for us gadget lovers out there, what a better way to end the week by going out and doing some gadget shopping, right? If you found that you’re suddenly stricken by the urge to make some gadget purchases to enjoy over the weekend, the good news is that Verizon will be launching both the Xyboard 10.1 and Xyboard 8.2 today!

As we have mentioned previously, both tablets will feature different screen sizes, but apart from that, internally they both appear to be similar, so basically it just boils down to a matter of whether you’d prefer a larger display or a smaller one. They will both feature dual-core TI OMAP processors, a 5MP rear-facing camera with LED flash, will run on Android Honeycomb 3.2 (no word if there are plans to bump it to Android 4.0 in the future) and will be 4G LTE compatible.

The Xyboard 8.2 will go for $429.99 for the 16GB version, while the 32GB model will set you back $529.99. If you’re looking for something a little bigger, the larger Xyboard 10.1 will go for $529.99 for the 16GB model, $629.99 for the 32GB model and a whopping $729.99 for the 64GB model. So who’s going to get a new toy to play with this weekend then?
