A seemingly legitimate $1,199 Motorola Xoom now sits on the Best Buy web site, ready for pre-order. What happened to the already steep $800? It would seem the hill has become a mountain for this initially well-received tablet.
While the Xoom impressed the heck out of us at CES, the luster has faded considerably since January following news that it would require a 1-month 3G network activation just to use the wifi feature. Gross.

This (new?) price point, which could very well be a placeholder, has seemingly tarnished this “iPad killer”—in quotes for a reason—even more.
Pre-ordering begins Thursday if you’re interested. [Best Buy via Engadget]
