A quick note for anyone previously tempted by the Motorola Xoom: Telstra has dropped its outright buy price from $840 to $648. Telstra has also added the Acer Iconia Tab A501 to its lineup; that one goes for $696.

At Australian launch Telstra had first dibs on Motorola's Xoom tablet, but late last week Optus also announced its own deals for the Honeycomb-sporting tablet. How do its prices compare?
The Motorola Xoom tablet has only been on sale through Telstra for a fortnight, but Telstra is already promising a fairly speedy upgrade to Android Honeycomb 3.1 before too long. On the Telstra Exchange blog, Telstra says the 3.1 update will be rolled out in July.
The range of Australian Android tablet choices continues to expand: Telstra will be launching the Motorola Xoom on May 24, with an outright price of $840. Elly has the full pricing plan details and loads of pics over at Gizmodo.
It's something we expected, but Telstra has now officially confirmed that it will be selling the Motorola Xoom tablet from May. As ever, official word on pricing will be announced "closer to launch". While that's slightly annoying, it's good to have a second Honeycomb device set for local release.
