Official Motorola Xoom prices and specifications!!!!!!!

Final word on the cost of the Motorola Xoom is in: The soon-to-be released Android tablet will sell for the unsubsidized price of $799 on Verizon Wireless, or $600 for the Wi-Fi-only model, Reuters reports.

The news comes via Motorola’s chief executive, Sanjay Jha, who made the announcement at Mobile World Congress 2011, which is currently taking place in Barcelona, Spain.

Fortunately for Motorola, the price is far less than therumored $1,199 that appeared on Best Buy’s Xoom pre-order page, which has since been removed.

The Motorola Xoom will run on Google’s newest mobile operating system Android 3.0 “Honeycomb.” But according to Jha, his company plans to fully embrace Android across all its mobile devices — especially now that Nokia hascommitted itself to Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS.

HP Palm’s webOS Topaz tablet pics leaked!!!!!!!!!

Apparently February 9 couldn't come soon enough: Well before HP's scheduled press event, details have started to surface on the so-called Topaz and Opal tablets from HP Palm.

Well that didn’t take long. Earlier this month at CES, HP exec Todd Bradley not-so-subtly hinted that a webOS tablet would be introduced February 14. Today, we’re getting a thorough first look at the ecosystem HP plans to introduce in a few weeks.

Engadget first published internal images from a “trusted tipster” this morning, revealing HP Palm’s Topaz tablet: a 9-inch, button-less device featuring a front-facing camera, microUSB port, and multiple speakers. The site also claims that Topaz will run on an unknown 1.2GHz processor and will most likely launch in September.

But that’s not all. It’s been assumed that February 9 will introduce multiple devices, and the event’s invitations read “Something big, Something small, Something beyond.” So it’s only fitting that the “something small” be a 7-inch tablet. “Opal” is also projected to make an appearance the ninth, and Engadget’s insider says it will be sized comparably to the Galaxy Tab, except “smaller and wider.” It will most likely launch after Topaz.
