Motorola Xoom Hits China Shores by June, $760 Buys You a Wi-Fi Model

Well, it’s about time! Motorola will launch its Xoom tablet in China before the end of June, according to a report from China Daily. It will come with a starting price of 4,999 yuan (about $764), for the 32GB Wi-Fi only model.

There will be two versions available for the Chinese market: a Wi-Fi only model and a 3G-enabled model that will be available on China Unicom Ltd’s WCDMA network. According to Frank Meng, senior vice-president of Motorola Mobility Inc,

“We’re bringing Xoom to China only three months after it made the debut in January at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. It is because Motorola has strong faith in the Chinese market and is dedicated to its future growth.”

Before Xoom hits the Chinese market, Motorola will add some functions with Chinese characteristics, and the UI will come in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese language. One more happy news is that the Xoom tablet will be available for sale in Hong Kong first, hitting stores by May. Price is not yet confirmed, but it should be cheaper than those sold at retail stores on the Chinese mainland.
