Motorola's Xoom Hits Shelves Feb. 17

Motorola's much-anticipated Xoom — considered the biggest challenger to Apple Inc.'s wildly popular iPad — will reportedly debut Feb. 17 at Best Buy, including outlets in the Sacramento region.

The 10.1-inch Xoom, which uses Google's Android Honeycomb operating system, will sell for $699, according to Droid Attic and Engadget. Motorola has not confirmed the date or pricing for the Xoom, which received rave reviews at the Consumer Electronic Show this month in Las Vegas.

The Xoom includes a 5 megapixel camera in back, with a 2MP lens in front for video chat. The tablet has a dual processor.

Motorola has confirmed the Xoom will hit shelves this quarter, with another model that works on Verizon's 4G LTE network coming in the second quarter.
