The Motorola Xoom tablet will debut on Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless' 3G network on Feb. 24, and the operator plans to sell a subsidized version for $600 with a two-year contract. Otherwise consumers can buy the device outright for $800 without a contract.
The Xoom, which will run version 3.0 of Google's Android OS designed specifically for tablets, is being sold as a 3G device, and it will be upgraded to run on Verizon's LTE network during the second quarter.
