SPRINT TO OFFER WIFI ONLY MOTOROLA XOOM FOR $600

US wireless carrier Sprint will start offering a WiFi only version of the Motorola Xoom Android tablet starting May 8 for $600. To use the tablet on Sprint's 3G or 4G networks, you will need to get a WiFi hotspot device. Verizon already offers a 3G-enabled version of the same tablet for $799.99.


The WiFi-only Xoom has the same specifications as the 3G-enabled model, but it lacks the 3G modem. The WiFi only model is also available from several other retailers. Interestingly they are all selling the device for $600. That means there is nothing particularly interesting about Sprint's offer.

The Motorola Xoom launched with much fanfare a couple of months ago. Back then it was the only Android 3.0 tablet on the market, but now you are spoilt for choice.
Many of these tablets like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer also carry a relatively cheaper price tag.
