You guys remember the Verizon/Motorola Xoom 2 announ cement? Well, we have another follow-up for you. Verizon is finally giving in on specific details by confirming they will be selling the Motorola Xoom and Xoom Media Edition as the DROID Xyboard 8.2 and 10.1. It's certainly a unique name, but you can be sure that consumers probably won't care about the name once they see how ridiculously amazing the tablets are. The tablets are confirmed for the UK and Ireland, but considering we saw that leaked roadmap recently, we can expect these 1.2GHz dual-core & Honeycomb-powered beasts to be released on or around November 30th in the U.S.
