Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha Defends Price Of Xoom

The Motorola Mobility chairman and CEO Sanjay Jha is defending the $799 price tag of the Motorola Xoom tablet. The Xoom tablet runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system.

Jha is defending the price because the device is compatible with Verizon’s 4G network. “We felt that our ability to deliver 50Mb/s would justify the $799 price point.
