Motorola currently doesn’t offer WiFi-only versions of the XOOM 2 tablets in the US.
I’m not American, so I’m not that familiar with pricing in the States, but aren’t these massively expensive, even with plans…. or is this normal for 4G LTE models?
Are the two mutually exclusive?
I’d say they’re very expensive… and that’s unfortunately par for the course.Â
 They could’ve at least waterproofed the buggers at that price (like Fujitsu). Rich people tend to spend a lot of time in their pools.
