Moto confirming by twitter that the Xoom will have an unlockable/lockable bootloader?

ok, 600 on contract (have a device that has an upgrade that is already on the $20/1GB plan so no increase to current bill) and unlocked bootloader??? OK, now I am sold on the Xoom again.

i'll wait for 2nd gen quad-core xoom, wifi model this summer.*(fingers crossed), i'll be using my rooted X for internet on the go. i'll be elligible for a phone upgrade in april 2012 at which time i will jump over to 4g and use tethering to supply xoom with internet on the go.

in response to laptop lovers v tablet.....i have 3 laptops which are all nice planted in different places either at work or home, i'll be a fool to lug them beasts around. that Xoom however, might be tough to find me without it! looking forward to finding tablet sized bags etc for travels....

Umm, never said I would be giving up a phone upgrade. I have a mifi that I don't use anymore. It's 20/month. Vzw said that it can be upgraded to either a phone or other device they carry. So getting the Zoom will not raise my bill at all. And I will be eligible for another upgrade in August of this year. Gives me plenty of time to get ready for that Atrix lol

well, I see Verizon website has the xoom available now so let me go through and see what plans they are offering now. Also they are offering the Galaxy Tab for $299 with a 2 year contract.

I was looking forward to the Xoom until I saw the price. The contract price is still high. Maybe if it was $300 with a 2 year contract I might consider it, $600 is too much.

Just an update because I couldn't find the edit button. I was checking Verizon's site and the Xoom is $800 on a 1 year contract???? Are you kidding me? That's the same freaking price as buying it outright.
