Thanks to a recent surfacing of Verizon's latest MAP (minimum advertised price), we finally get a taste of how they plan to price the new Motorola tablets. Yes, those ones with that god-awful name, DROID XYBOARD. It also looks like there is a possibility that the tablets will arrive in stores during the second week of December, but… well, you know how that story usually ends.

Prices will start at $429 for the 8-inch 16GB model, and can go up to as much as $729 for the 10-inch 64GB version. We figure these to be prices on-contract because they line up with the current pricing for the 4G Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. This seems to be rather steep pricing given the fact the original Moto tablets didn't sell very well. Thankfully Motorola has stepped up the specs this time around because expensive or not, I think these tabs are going to be a hit.

*Best Buy take note* That is Galaxy Nexus you are reading. :-D

Although currently not a doctor or a scientist, some believe he posseses the knowledge of both. He was a resident of San Diego California for ten years, lived beachside and sometimes wonders why the hell he moved back to Spokane. A multi-talented man, Stacy is a fabricator, an artist, a gear head, a tech junkie and at most, the disciple of Casanova. Growing up, he was always enthralled with electronics, gadgets and gizmos. Throughout his life he has had one, if not two, of every cool and new electronic device available. He began his smartphone experience with the original iPhone. After realizing it was more like theirPhone, he decided he wanted the ability to customize, so Stacy moved to the OG Droid and has been a loyal Android fanatic ever since. Moving through all of the top tier Verizon phones, he recently retired his Droid Charge in favor of the Galaxy Nexus, only to wonder what great device Samsung will come out with next. Stacy is a busy new homeowner in where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend and two dogs.

Why would you believe MAP pricing leak when it shows that the Nexus is slated for release on 10/10/2011….. which we know is wrong since we are 2 weeks past that already?

  The date shown above doesn’t point the exact date when the date will be released. I think what it tells here is the estimation of when the products will be released. As for Galaxy Nexus it has the dates of 11-10-11 to 5-10-12. So we can be expecting Galaxy Nexus between November 10 to May 10, 2012.
