Motorola to ship between 700K 800K XOOM tablets in Q1 2011 Motorola’s XOOM Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet was recently showcased at CES 2011 and it’s expected to make a pretty big splash when it finally reaches the hands of consumers. From the looks of it, Motorola has pretty big hopes for this tablet as sources claim that Motorola is expected to ship between 700,000 to 800,000 units of the tablet with four color options to be available in the first quarter of 2011. The orders are even expected to go as high as one million units in the quarter, so things should be looking good for Motorola. Are you planning to get hold of the Motorola XOOM when it’s released, or is your heart still set on the Galaxy Tab or iPad?
