14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone maker Motorola might be set to bring to the market in the United States the first tablet PC is launched with Google's Android operating system on board, namely the Motorola XOOM
, before the end of the next month.
The company already announced officially that it would make the device available for purchase on Verizon Wireless' airwaves sometime during the first quarter of the year, and it seems that it would actually put it on shelves in about a month or so.
During the company's earnings call for the fourth quarter of the last year, the Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha was the one to confirm plans to have the device shipping in late February.
He also confirmed that the AT&T-bound Motorola ATRIX 4G might become available for purchase during the time frame (the phone might be launched in a couple of weeks, rumor has it).
Moreover, info on the release window for Motorola DROID Bionic emerged as well, with Motorola confirming plans to have the device on shelves during the second quarter of the ongoing year.
The mobile phone, packing a dual-core application processor and Google's Android operating system, is set to become available for purchase in the United States on the airwaves of Verizon Wireless.
Also in the second quarter of the year, Motorola would put 4G LTE connectivity inside its Motorola XOOM device, just as announced during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January.
Following the initial availability of the device with only 3G and WiFi connectivity options, a software update would enable the LTE capabilities of the tablet PC, so that users would be able to connect it to Verizon's new network.
Some of the previous rumors on XOOM's availability suggested that Motorola might be capable of delivering it closer to mid-February, but it remains to be seen whether they would indeed be capable of launching it before March.
