Motorola looks like they could be testing their successor to the XOOM Android "Honeycomb" tablet. Another one of their tablets have hit the FCC and it's a bit bigger but also a bit slimmer than the original XOOM that's been out for a while. Rumour has it that this is the XOOM 2 but I doubt it. It could just be the XOOM with integrated LTE connectivity and that's what I'm betting on. If that's the case then we should be hearing about it soon. The XOOM has only been out for a few months and we're still a few months away from seeing a wave of Tegra 3 tablets storm the market so it can't be the successor. This one looks like it'll be a slight upgrade over the XOOM. Check it out at the FCC.

The latest leak coming from Droid-Life tells us that two new devices are on the way. They are the Motorola XOOM LTE and the DROID 3 which was made official overseas already. These are both pretty good devices and the latter is reportedly scheduled for a July 7th release. The Motorola XOOM might be a new model but, of course, it could just be the old model with LTE connectivity which wouldn't be surprising.

Sprint has just released two devices today. The first one has been available elsewhere for a while now and it's the WiFi-only Motorola XOOM. Yup, still no 4G models. The other one is the eco-friendly Samsung Replenish which is running the Android OS along with a QWERTY keyboard. The XOOM is available now for $599, while the Replenish is going for $49.99 on a 2-year contract.

A new model of the Motorola XOOM has just hit the FCC and it's perfect for AT&T in the US since it has 3G 850/1900MHz bands. Of course, this tablet is also available in Canada so it could also be available shortly up North as well. This tablet will be a 3G "Honeycomb" tablet that'll of course also have WiFi so if you're willing to pay a monthly data contract for Internet access everywhere then you may want to wait for this one. Check it out at the FCC.

Yes, the BlackBerry Playbook came out today but if you're not obsessed with RIM then you might want to look for another tablet. The WiFi-only Motorola XOOM has been available for a while and Telus is now selling them as well. Of course, you may have already tried one out at Best Buy. It's going for $599 so check it out on Telus.

Two bits of information coming from Mobile Syrup regarding tablets in Canada. First off, the WiFi-only Motorola XOOM which is already available at Best Buy will be hitting Telus on April 19th. Price should be the same, so expect it for $599.99 - that's a 32GB model.

The other tablet is the 9.7-inch HP Touchpad that'll be running webOS 3.0. We already know this one should be launching in the Summer and it's looking like it'll be in June / July and the price tag seems to be $499. Yes, that's lower than the XOOM but I believe that'll be a 16GB model and it only has a front-facing camera. Of course, on the inside the Touchpad packs a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon which is a bit faster than the Tegra 2 in the XOOM. Interesting stuff, for sure!

BGR has just reported that Sprint will be getting a new tablet fairly soon and it's going to be a variant of the Motorola XOOM with WiMAX connectivity. Yup, a "Honeycomb" tablet with 4G connectivity is headed to Sprint and it's looking like it'll be here before the LTE upgrade for the Verizon model. If you want to take a look at the case for it then check it out below.

Right now, in North America you can get a 32GB WiFi-only Motorola XOOM for $599 but it looks like a new model is in the works. According to the image above, the company could be looking to ship a 16GB XOOM in the near future and it should be even cheaper than the current model - possibly $499. This is unconfirmed right now but it would be a pretty good idea to do so.

If you live in Canada and have been waiting for the first "Honeycomb" tablet to launch then the wait is over. Best Buy and Future Shop now have the WiFi-Only Motorola XOOM available for $599.99 in Canada. This tablet sports a 10.1-inch display, a dual-core 1GHz CPU, a 5MP camera, and even a front-facing 2MP camera. You can head over to the store or online to pick one up whenever you're ready.

Another carrier in the US, Cellular South, has released the WiFi-only Motorola XOOM. So far, this is the only tablet on the US market that threatens the Apple iPad 2. This one features a 10.1-inch display, dual cameras, and Android "Honeycomb" which is shaping up to be a great tablet OS. Check it out at Cellular South.

Finally! The WiFi-only Motorola XOOM is now officially available with 32GB of internal storage for $599 if you want to pick one up. Of course, this is a bit late seeing how a bunch of people already have their iPad 2's handy. If you want the sweet "Honeycomb" then go and check it out. It may be thicker than the iPad 2 but the OS makes up for it. Check it out on Motorola.

When the page first went up it said April 8th but the estimated release date has changed. Future Shop Canada's new estimated release date is April 15th. The WiFi-only Motorola XOOM is still priced at $599 so that's pretty good if you didn't pick up an iPad 2 a few days ago. I want to get a XOOM - if only I had the money.

The Motorola XOOM is already available on Verizon in the US and it looks like another carrier will be launching it next month (April). Cellular South has just put a page for the tablet and the WiFi-only model will cost you $599.99. If you want to know more then check it out on Cellular South.

A new report coming from DigiTimes has just mentioned something that's quite interesting. Apparently, Motorola is only ordering XOOM tablets until June of this year. Now, this doesn't really tell us much but actually does hint that Motorola could have something better up their sleeve for Q3 of this year. They actually could be unveiling the next XOOM in the middle of this year and maybe it'll be running an improved version of the Android tablet OS. Interesting.

A bunch of upcoming tablets for Europe has just been priced. It's everything you see above so that includes the €349 Acer Iconia A100, €399 Asus Eee Pad, €699 Motorola XOOM, and €849 LG Optimus Pad. It's actually pretty surprising that the A100 will be so inexpensive since it's running Android "Honeycomb" which means that the price could actually be right. The one that surprised me the most is that the 3D-capable Optimus Pad will cost so much money so I doubt that'll be flying off of the shelves. The unknown Eee Pad could actually be the Transformer so that's a decent price for a Tegra 2 tablet.

Of course, what we're missing here is the release dates which are still unknown right now. Some of these were supposed to be available in March but that's looking doubtful. Expect a Q2 launch; yes, I'm being vague.

Finally, Motorola has made the WiFi-only XOOM official! It'll officially be available on Sunday, March 27th for $599.99 which isn't too bad considering it has 32GB of internal storage. The tablet features a 10.1-inch touchscreen display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 5MP AF camera, a front-facing camera, and Android "Honeycomb" which looks amazing "for geeks". Now I just have to wait for this one to hit Canada.

Wow, another huge Staples leak has just been spotted and it's coming from their training guide - the one below is coming from a "major retailer" as well, but it could also be Staples. If this isn't the year of the tablets then I don't know what is. The leak shows several tablets that'll be launching this year. We'll just go in order starting with the Motorola XOOM which could be launching this week (March 17th) for $649; it's looking like this one will be the WiFi-only model. Next up is RIM's BlackBerry Playbook which could be launching on March 27th for $499 (16GB), $599 (32GB), and $699 (64GB). Keep in mind that this date might have moved to April. There's also word on the 7-inch Dell Streak 7 which will be launching in late March / April as well; price for that one should be $449 as well - it's already available on T-Mobile.

Now, for the coming soon tablets we have a bunch of them running on Android "Honeycomb" which is great news. We have the 8.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab which should be announced next week, the Dell Streak 10, a 10-inch Acer, and a 10-inch Toshiba. It's unknown what the 10-inch Acer tablet will be but it could be the Eee Pad EP101TC, which is a complete guess. The 10-inch Toshiba has been teased by them since January but they have yet to make it official. There's also word on a 10-inch HTC Android "Honeycomb" tablet that's on the way. This one hasn't been announced yet but I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Last, but definitely not least there's word on the 10-inch HP Touchpad running on the next version of webOS along with an unannounced 7-inch model. This will likely get announced at the company's next event which is in a few weeks. Amazing stuff!
