Engadget has posted a few leaks showing off the Motorola Xoom's still unconfirmed release date and price.
The site says the powerful tablet will be released on February 17th (at least in Best Buy stores) with a price tag of $700, $30 less than the comparable Apple iPad (Wi-Fi/3G/32GB). The current-generation iPad's other specs, however, pale in comparison to the Xoom.
Motorola's Xoom will be the first tablet to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which has been optimized for media tablets.
The powerful tablet will ship with a 10.1-inch display, 1280x800 resolution, a Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 32GB onboard memory (expendable via SD), a 5MP dual-LED flash standard camera and a 2MP front-side camera for video conferencing.
Furthermore, the tablet has a micro USB 2.0 port, an HDMI-port, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
Battery life has been rated at 10 hours (peak) for video playback.
