Motorola Droid XyBoard Is Essentially The Xoom 2 With Verizon Branding

Hail the Droid XYBoard Android tablets. Yeah, they are two of them, each with a different display size but essentially the same set of specifications under the hood. On the skin they run almost the same software, Honeycomb OS, but with a nifty little differences.But before you clamp on that, let us tell that these seem to be nothing but the same Xoom 2 Android tablet and the Xoom 2 Media Edition tablet (see video after the break)  albeit with a Verizon branding that subsidizes it price in favor of a contract, and of course — lets you feast on LTE goodness it’s designed to take advantage of.

The larger Droid XyBoard features a 10.1” capacitive touch display protected by corning Gorilla glass while the smaller one has an 8.2” capacitive touch display. Everything under the hood remains same, except the addition of an IR blaster and a 2.1 channel speakers + subwoofer in the nifty little being.A 1.2GHz dual-core processor with a gigabyte of RAM, a 5MP camera paired with a 1.3MP front-facing camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and onboard GPS are common set of specs for either of these tablets.Although, neither Verizon nor Motorola have officially confirmed their availability, Droid Life which also revealed some spy shots of Motorola Droid XyBoard accessories have suggested a possible launch in the second week of December, or perhaps 12th Dec, to be precise.

If pricing is a concern (which sure is), the 10.1 inch Droid XyBoard launch price is believed to be about $529, $629 and $729 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models respectively.Completely undetectable Hidden camera surveillance. The smaller variant aimed to a little more media-centric than its elder brother, is aimed at $429 for the 16GB version and $529 for the 32GB version.Both the tablets will sport 4G LTE radio out f the box and will be available on a two year contract with Verizon Wireless in the United States. Outside the United States, the tablets are christened as Xoom 2 and Xoom 2 Media Center edition.
