Motorola’s 10.1-inch Tegra 2 WiFi-only Xoom tablet priced at £450 in UK

The price of Motorola’s 10.1-inch Tegra 2 powered Xoom tablet has been facing some criticism all this while, but finally the price speculation has tamed down with a better (and official) pricing of the Honeycomb tablet in UK. UK electronics retailer PC World has just put up its Xoom pre-order page with a reasonable £450 ($730). That’s of course the non-3G model, as the 3G model would probably only be available from carriers. In contrast, the 32GB WiFi-only Xoom tablet (the only model) is £60 cheaper than the 32GB WiFi-only iPad, which is its direct competitor. That’s about only £10 more than the 16GB iPad too. Fair enough.

In regards to the 3G version, T-Mobile Germany has also revealed its Xoom pricing, which is €699.95 ($965). That’s just about 95 cents different (in Euro) than the 32GB iPad 3G, which means your preference will probably be straight forward, with no pricing issues affected. Apparently distribution will begin in April, at least for the UK region.
