∞ Analysts estimate Moto ships 100K Xooms

Analysts with Deutsche Bank estimate that Motorola has shipped about 100,000 Xoom tablets since the device went on sale in February. If so, that would certainly be a fraction of the number of original iPads that Apple sold its first weekend when they went on sale in April, 2010 (Apple has not revealed iPad 2 sales numbers yet).

[ad#Google Adsense 300x250 in story]The Xoom is the first Android-based tablet to feature the Android 3.0 “Honeycomb” operating system, the first Android OS optimized specifically as a tablet OS. The Xoom went on sale in late February for $800 (less if you agreed to a two-year data contract with Verizon Wireless). Since then Motorola has begun offering a Wi-Fi-only version of the Xoom at a price more competitive with Apple’s iPad offerings – but Apple has also begun shipping the iPad 2.

Motorola has not announced any sales figures for the Xoom. Deutsche Bank drew its estimate by examining data offered through the Android developer Web site, which determined how many people were using the Honeycomb operating system.

Shipped or sold? And have sales been “smooth”?

“Smooth” indeed! I’m guessing they aren’t having any supply constraint issues.

Well, let me see- junk software combined with junk hardware. That’s a winner in the on-line PC world.

Not so with the with consumers.

Thank god the average consumer doesn’t read or listen to crap all the PC & Wall St. technology blogs write about products. You see they’re more interested in creating competition and diversity then calling a piece of junk that never should have came to market just that- junk!

Seems like this would be a great sales number for a vertical-market, single-use device. The folks who make the UPS handheld gizmo just might need to start looking over their shoulders.

Oh SNAP!

I wonder if Motorola will publish the sales numbers for this revolutionary device.

Shipped yes, sold no.

Tab, Xoom, what’s the difference -apart from size? One was finished but kept being returned; the other wasn’t finished but must be returned to be finished. In either case, there’s no apps for them to be considered a viable product as well as the OS being ‘half-baked’ to make it work.
