WOW! BestBuy taking orders for the new Motorola Xoom 32GB 10.1" Android 3.0 Tablet starting Thursday. Advertised price? Just a mere $1,199!!! PING!

The Apple 32GB iPad is only $729. What are they thinking?

Apple iOS v. Google Android Ping!

The link you posted is for a page that's not there. Which likely means it was a placeholder page that Best Buy and Amazon are infamous for.

I suspect that the leaked $799 price tag will be what the price will be for an unsubsidized pad when the pre-orders go live, with the subsidized price a considerable amount lower.

The tidbit I'm more interested in was the part that required one month of Verizon 3g service before being able to use it wifi only. Again, could just be part of the placeholder page, but extracting another $20 from consumers just to buy an unsubsidized pad is... a pretty shocking practice, if that does actually turn out to be the case.
