With the Xoom now officially six months old, a major price drop is likely in the works. Various European tech blogs are reporting sales and/or price drops regarding the first Honeycomb tab. Register Hardware points to Dixons, a popular UK retailer, who is now selling the 32GB Xoom for �329 rather than �500. Blogeee goes as far to say that Motorola will officially cut the price down to �399. As they note, this would place the 32GB model at the same price point as competitor's 16GB model. Smart, but a tad late. Retailers in the US, namely Amazon and Best Buy, recently cut the Xoom's price as well but not as drastic. Amazon lists the 32GB version for $449 while Best Buy has it at $499, which while decent prices, are nothing to skip the first day of school over. Motorola surely knows how to make the Xoom a blockbuster: do an HP and cut it to $99.
