Yeah if you look at the print in the yellow banner below the pic, it says:

our local best buy add regularly has typing mistakes. pricing errors etc.
Unless a cannon powershot camera (point & shoot) is worth $2399.98 ( my most recent find )
lets hope its a fake. I'm looking for a $500 tab that blows the doors off the ipad.

agreed
[Edited on February 7, 2011 at 12:01 PM. Reason : this is very disappointing from Motorola and Google - $800 is just ridiculous.]2/7/2011 11:55:40 AM |

Doubt it'll be close to $500 unless they make a wifi only model 2/7/2011 11:58:45 AM |

you know Apple will undercut this. This is so dumb.
They will drop the Ipad down to $400 and the new Ipad2 will start at $600. Watch. 2/7/2011 12:02:21 PM |

welp, the thunderbolt is listed in Best Buy's system with a launch date of Feb 14th but it says "subject to change". Girl that I talked to couldn't find any info on data plan prices or anything about the Xoom. And it's kind of funny to see the Galaxy Tabs for Sprint and Verizon sitting next to each other but the Spring version is $299 and the Verizon one is $399 on 2yr contract. ] 2/7/2011 12:45:46 PM |

I'm seriously hoping that $800 was a fake or a mistake. They're going to price themselves right out of competition especially with the iPad 2 looming on the horizon. 2/7/2011 9:37:25 PM |

My Kyocera phone still works... 10 years later. Granted it sucked but its damned sturdy dropped in water twice.
I've never had a Motorola last longer than a year one died in 3 months for no reason (i thought it was a bitchen phone cause it had color screen) 2/8/2011 1:32:44 PM |

Rolled up into a Verizon store today expecting to find a knowledgeable employee (naive, I know) that may be welling to substantiate or refute (off the record, of course) the release date and the $800 price tag. Instead , I get stuck talking to some dumb gash who barely knows what the Xoom is but tries to sell me on an iPad instead.
It's shit like this, Verizon, it's shit like this... 2/9/2011 1:46:04 AM |

Why would you ever expect retail employees to know ANYTHING about an unreleased device? They generally know substantially less than you.
And even if he know about the Xoom, good freakin' luck trying to get any info on pricing. 2/9/2011 9:28:55 AM |
