Motorola DROID Xyboard Coming on December 8, Says Leaked Price List

If you’re excited about Motorola’s latest offering, the DROID Xyboard, then you’re in for a treat, as the device is heading its way to store shelves in as early as second week of December.

According to a MAP (minimum advertised price) list from Verizon leaked to Droid Life, we could see the device in action as early as December 8. Although, the price list didn’t specifically mention “Xyboard” as its official name. Instead, it came out labeled as the “Motorola Tablet.” If everything turns out well, Verizon could already have settled down with the DROID Xyboard as official name for the tablets.

The Xyboard tablets come in two varieties–the 8.2-inch and 10.1-inch versions, which are all set for a December 8 release date. Both versions will feature 16-GB and 32-GB models, with the exception of the 10.1-inch version having a 64-GB model.

Prices range from US$429 to US$729, presumably with a two-year contract with Verizon.

Both tablets will be almost identical in most hardware specs: 1.2-GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM, scratch-free Gorilla Glass coating, and 5-MP camera.  Both tablets will run on Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

What do you think of the Motorola DROID Xyboard’s prices?  While we’re at it, what do you think of the rumored “Xyboard” branding for these Motorola tablets?

Paul and I.T. are synonyms. If you need help with I.T.-related stuff, call on Paul. His experience with Android phones goes way back to the ancient single-core-phone days. But, he keeps himself up to date, so now he has a dual-core beast in his pocket, and is looking forward to getting his first quad-core monster, and when it comes, his first eight-core phone. Perhaps he should be called Mr. X-Core, where "X" equals the number of CPU cores.

    price is high, the name “xyboard” is awful. why not “Xoom 2″, that is/was a great name

    its hard to spend that kind of money on a tablet with a dual core, when asus is coming out with the quad core PRIME shortly.

    XYBoard is starting to grow on me, I guess. Once it is in my hands it will not matter. I will own one the day they are released. As for dual/quad core, does it really matter? If you keep waiting for the next great thing, you will never have anything. The 8″ meets all my wants, size, 4G LTE on Verizon, great performance and ICS in the near future. Price is a little high with a contract but I have spent good money on much dumber things. :)
