F you Motorola! I will probably still get it but damn them for making it such a tough choice.

I take it back, read right below the pic:
"To activate WiFi functionality on this device, a minimum of 1 month data subscription is required"

It doesn't make any sense, but if this is true I will boycott the Xoom. Extortion is extortion.

That's quite a lot of money.

It was rumored to be around this price, so I'm not surprised. *sigh* wish it was cheaper.

Definitely wont be the first inline, ill either wait for a wifi only version or the tab wifi only, cant see paying 800 but im sure people will.

Make it Wi-Fi only, with a ~$500 price tag, and then it'll sell to everybody's satisfaction.

This will never see a 500 price tag. Look at the galaxy. Its nowhere near the xoom and that's still too much.

I'm still getting it. Tax return baby.

I think this price is a bit much for a tablet. I want a tablet and can afford it, just not sure I want to support this pricetag.

What is it with Motorola and there pricing? Who do they think they are Apple?!
I like the Xoom, but out of my price range. $799 is more than I paid for my laptop and it has a 17" screen.
Wonder of the LG G-Slate is going to be over priced as well.

I think that price just saved me from standing in line. ;-)

Xoom - $799 + tax + one month of data + tax again + 4G upgrade + tax again

Here is hoping my G slate doesn't break the bank unsubsidized.

I'll probably still get it. At least I won't have to worry about long lines at BB on launch day.

Don't forget any accessories you want, + tax ;-)

No way!!! Moto is becoming too full of themselves with that price tag.

I'll get one to review it but at this point I'm seeing a lot of potential for the G-Slate. If T-Mobile and LG price it right with wifi only models, it could definitely beat the Xoom in terms of sales. I doubt either of these will even dent the iPads market though.

Why would the average user pick this at $800 over an iPad? Maybe some geeks like us will know the difference, but many of us will be pissed at Moto for this pricetag and lack of options.
