It's been a long wait for Motorola to drop its Wi-Fi only Xoom tablet, and those living in Canada will have to hang tight just a little bit longer. Motorola on Monday announced it will begin shipping and selling its Wi-Fi Xoom slate to Canadians beginning sometime in April, though stopped short of offering up an exact release date, or price for that matter.
While Motorola didn't want to get into pricing details, you can find the Xoom for pre-order on both Best Buy's and Future Shop's Canadian portals, with each one offering up the Wi-Fi tablet for $600, the same price as here in the States.
"Motorola Xoom brings PC-like power to a tablet, providing consumers with an easy-to-use, lightning fast experience designed with fun and productivity in mind, and we're thrilled to bring it to Canadians," said Jeff Miller, corporate vice president, Motorola Mobility.
Likewise, Canadians should be thrilled to have access to a viable alternative to Apple's first and second generation iPad tablets. As we noted in our review, the Xoom has a shot at being an iPad killer, but it's critical to get the Wi-Fi only version out there in the wild for people who have no need or desire for the 3G radio, which carries a pricing premium.

Madam President and Members of the mbt sandals General Assembly: When Secretary General Hammarskjold’s invitation to address this General Assembly reached me in Bermuda, I was just beginning a series of conferences with the Prime Ministers and mbt discount Foreign Ministers of Great Britain and of France.

Never before in history has so much hope for so many people been gathered together in a mbt moja single organization. Your deliberations and decisions during these somber years have already realized part of those hopes.But the great mbt shoes famous tests and the great accomplishments still lie ahead. And in the confident expectation of those accomplishments, I would use the office which, for the time being mbt shoes for running, I hold, to assure you that the Government of the United States will remain steadfast in its support of this body. This we shall do in the conviction that you will mbt sini lux provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage, and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace for all mbt sport shoes nations, and happiness and well-being for all men.Clearly, it would not be fitting for me to take this occasion to present to you a unilateral American report on mens posture shoes Bermuda. Nevertheless, I assure you that in our deliberations on that lovely island we sought to invoke those same great concepts of universal peace and swala gold human dignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter. Neither would it be a measure of this great opportunity merely to recite, however womens mbt wingu shoes hopefully, pious platitudes.I therefore decided that this occasion warranted my saying to you some of the things that have been on the minds mbt shoes and hearts of my legislative and executive associates. http://www.mbtrainers.com/YQ
