The Motorola Xoom looks set to be one of the most desired (and priciest) tablets of 2011, so it's no surprise that a number of UK retailers have put their names down to stock the device. According to Motorola, the Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy will launch with Motorola XOOM (3G/Wi-Fi), and Currys and PC World will launch with Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi in Q2 2011. Powerful device Andrew Morley, vice president of marketing for Motorola Mobility, said about the news: "We're excited to be bringing a device as powerful as Motorola Xoom to leading carriers and partners in the UK. "Today's announcement is testament to how well Motorola Xoom has been received by consumers and carriers alike." It may have been well received but leaked pricing of the device, which comes with a 10.1-inch screen and Android 3.0 Honeycomb, seems to suggest that you will have to part with around £700 if you want the tablet. The Motorola Xoom UK release date is spring. Related Stories Last.fm does a Spotify, goes premium for mobile devices HTC Flyer to come with Android 2.3?
