That's probably a wifi xoom. I think the upgradeable ones had to start with 3g

This too. Had to be a 3G enabled Xoom, you couldn't upgrade WiFi Xooms to LTE.

Still, expired. :p

Regardless, 249 for a 32GB ICS tablet isn't a bad deal. Xoom gets a lot of hate though.

When you compare the Xoom with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, it's kinda obvious why people prefer one over the other.

tn screen and its fat. Best thing about it is its Google's reference so they update it

The Xoom also has an sd card, mini-HDMI, and standard micro-USB. Galaxy Tabs have better screens, but lack all the versatility.

yeah i'm assuming we are talking the original tab. but yeah i'd take the xoom over the original tab (the original slim tab, there was a fat original tab 10.1 also which had wierd screen oiliness issues i remember).

but yeah the TN screen is really annoying on tablets because if you rotate them into portrait mode it looks really terrible on one side. tab makers really need to stop making TN tabs at all. at least use mva if you have to be cheap (like archos)

Did that original Tab 10.1 go on sale? Thought they showed it at a trade show, then pulled it for the redesign?
