We have been told by Motorola this is the last lot of Xoom with 3G being available to the IT market at crazy discount price! The remainder will only be available to the large chains and will revert back to $649+.

It may be a few dollars higher than our previous Facebook Exclusive offering, but this one is open to everyone.

$389 for store pickup, or add $6 for Australia Wide Postage.

NOTE: This is the 32Gb version that takes 3G SIM card. It is unlocked to any network. Any lower prices you have seen elsewhere does not have this.

Motorola Xoom Tablet 3G
• Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS
• 10.1" Multitouch Scteen
• Dual Core Nvidia Tegra 2 Processor
• 32gb internal storage and MicroSD expansion.
• 3G mobile internet (requires mobile sim/plan) and Wifi

PLEASE keep descriptions short and to the POINT we dont need to know how many screws hold the thing together. Check our posting guidelines please. Rest of over-detailed description is now deleted.

  • andy2 on 11/01/2012 - 18:15

    Serious sub $300 should be the normal price for this soon to be out dated tablet, who will be crazy enough to pay over $600+ for it? For that price I might as well get a iPad which I know will hold its resell value better

        I don't WANT a comparable table - The New 1080p Transformer Prime is what I want.

        Pfft, excellent tablet; it's as laggy as a 2.5yr old HTC midrange smartphone.

  • SrMoure on 11/01/2012 - 18:46

    ANyway, it's old technology, price seems to be the cheapest right now. I think until now $398 was the best price for this tablet.

  • nicksnoobie on 11/01/2012 - 19:07

    I'll wait for next gen tablet.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/01/2012 - 20:20

      so why the positive vote??

      • nicksnoobie on 11/01/2012 - 20:21

        because it's still a pretty good price right now. even though it's an old tech tablet.

    Some pretty harsh criticisms here. A Xoom deal that was posted just a week ago for a higher price got 59+ votes
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60983

    Looks like a good price for an excellent tablet to me. ICS coming soon for this model as well.

    • nicksnoobie on 11/01/2012 - 19:10

      When new model release. I think price will drop for this model. Same goes to iPad. That's when I'll buy it.

      But a week ago CES was a week away. We now have two 1080p tablets on their way.

      • anthman on 11/01/2012 - 22:28

        Completely agree - I have been hawking various tech sites (engadget) and the slew of nextgen tablets are amazing.

        Better to put this $389 towards much better tablets (and with the number of tablets being released from different and competing manufacturers, I wouldn't be surprised if $389 covered the majority of the cost).

    • Wyzard on 11/01/2012 - 19:15

      Agree. Its still the best price up to this point in time.

      • johndoe123 on 11/01/2012 - 19:22
        +4

        no. the best price came from the same retailer. was $369

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60366

        They should do better than $395 delivered

        • nicksnoobie on 11/01/2012 - 19:24

          Oh yes, forgot about that.
          Unless they do it cheaper than that. Not gonna buy this one.

        • Wyzard on 11/01/2012 - 19:31

          How did I know someone was going to prove me wrong 2 mins after I post something. I rephrase "at this point in time"….. Oh actually, I'll just concede. $369 is better than $389.

        • satoshi on 11/01/2012 - 19:44
          +1

          Don't forget the 2% credit card surcharge (unless you use bank transfer) + 5% shipping insurance (optional, but better have it unless you don't care that the tab may be damaged or lost during delivery. Or if you live in Perth, you can pick up the stock).

          So total will add up to be $400+

        • Store RepStopSpending @ NetPlus Computers on 11/01/2012 - 21:14

          That was Facebook exclusive and was leaked onto here. There was much fewer units available then, and was sold out before stocks arrived.

        • wildstone on 11/01/2012 - 22:41

          Be that as it may, you could still do better than the facebook price.

          +3

          @netplus "fewer units" was $369 and now you stocked more than "fewer" units so your price should be below $369 for this deal, because you buy more from supplier means you got cheaper. It's general trading business.

    I think it's the insinuation that they will not be this cheap again that irks some people. Sure, the price is good but the prices of tablets for this generation are only going to decline as time goes by. To say they won't be this cheap again or cheaper is disingenuous I think.

    • Gaz1 on 11/01/2012 - 19:39

      Totally agree.
      ….. and to say that "and will revert back to $649+"…. Tell him he's dreamin….

      • Store RepStopSpending @ NetPlus Computers on 11/01/2012 - 21:13

        We will no longer be stocking these after this discounted shipment. We would not dream of trying to sell them at the $600+ mark. We are just told that there will be no more discounted units left.

        • wildstone on 11/01/2012 - 22:34

          In that case just say that you will have the last batch here. No point intimidating users with $600 BS… Their prices are only gonna go down in the coming future. I don't think even the Xoom 2 would be priced at $600+.

        • sonic2011 on 11/01/2012 - 23:50

          agree with wildstone. In few months, new tablet prices will be around $250 - $500 with better specs.

  • johndoe123 on 11/01/2012 - 19:40

    Definitely not the "last chance". CES is still exhibiting at Las Vegas http://www.cesweb.org/ with new gadgets coming out soon

    Based on this website prices will be down.

      I bought the Motorola Xoom WiFi prior to Xmas for $289, and it is NOT a piece of junk!

      I personally think it is better than the Samsung Tab 10.1… it has an external SD card slot, and a HDMI output port.

      I have been using it everyday since and cannot fault it in any way.

      Plus it is being updated to Android ICS in a few weeks.

        Nice work that was a great deal just like the Good Guys clearance of the Acers.

        This deal is currently the best available.

        If there is better hopefully they will link it so we can all enjoy.

        Otherwise until my time machine is repaired this deal is very appealing.

      If you're going to call it a 'piece of junk' the least you could do is get the name right. The tablet does everything a tablet can be expected to do just fine, therefore it is hardly junk.

      Don't think you know what you are talking about. What made you think GT 10.1 is better than Xoom? Samsung came in the market late does not mean it is better. Good luck in getting a 3G Samsung GT10.1 or Asus Transformer at sub $400.

    I bought a brand new Medion Lifetab yesterday for $300. It has exactly the same specs as the Motorola Xoom tablet.

  • bich.light on 12/01/2012 - 01:25

    Thanks for the post.
    Can someone please tell me about the applications on this tablet? Has Android been given more apps and interesting games that can keep me occupied? OR is this another dead end?

    Thanks.

  • mickey on 12/01/2012 - 02:23

    Scrimshaw… Motorola Xoom and Medion Lifetab both weigh exactly 730 grams. Here are the specs:

    Android™ 3.2
    32 GB internal memory (can be expanded with a microSD memory card)
    NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 dual-core processor
    NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics
    Quad-band 3G module (HSDPA/HSUPA) and GPS
    Integrated wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 n-standard technology
    Li-polymer battery – lasts up to 8 hours
    25.4 cm/10" multitouch display
    Numerous connection options: Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB, microSD/microSDHC, audio out, multifunctional connector, SIM card slot

    As you can see, both tablets are identical. I bought the Medion Lifetab from my friend who works at Aldi. He has sold about 20 tablets so far and they come with a 2 year warranty. RRP is $499 but I bought it for $300. The Medion Lifetab also comes with a few extras that the Motorola Xoom doesn't have such as:

    Leather carry case
    microUSB cable
    AKG earphones
    HDMI adapter cable
    Cleaning cloth

        I've owned the Iconia A501 and the Xoom and the iPad (original).

        The Xoom has fantastic build quality. Granted it's not as sexy or slim as the iPad 2, but it doesn't creak in the hand (Iconia). It feels solid. The back is metal and the screen looks good.

        Prices on these should drop further once the Xoom 2 is out.

        While this may be Netplus' last batch of discounted Xooms, let's not forget that there are other stockist out there. :-)

          Having it made of metal doesn't really do a tablet much justice as tablets are designed to be held for long periods of time. It makes the tablet heavy, un-ergonomic and can strain your hand. Every time I hold a Xoom for more then 2 minutes I feel like throwing it down cause it's that heavy.

  • teknohead on 12/01/2012 - 10:57

    LOL @ People buying electronics from Aldi. I love that they always go to a Harvey Norman/JB/DSE store when they have problems with it because Aldi staff don't know a thing.

We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices.

  • xyron on 13/01/2012 - 09:27

    even if motorola weren't releasing ICS for it, the devs at xda-developers would have. :)

    i cant give this a positive due to it being a higher price than netplus' previous offer, but the xoom is the best first-gen tablet ive used. recommended.
