On January 21st, reporters Charles Duhigg and Keith Bradsher (New York Times) published the first of a series of articles describing Apple’s relationship with China – regarding Jobs, worker treatment and Apple manufacturing partners in the communist state. The first article, entitled “How The US Lost Out On The iPhone” was a brilliant piece, which really broke down the infinite variables that go into running a company like Apple and manufacturing in the 21st century. The article stared with a conversation between president Obama and Steve Jobs:
…When Barack Obama joined Silicon Valley’s top luminaries for dinner in California last February, each guest was asked to come with a question for the president.
But as Steven P. Jobs of Apple spoke, President Obama interrupted with an inquiry of his own: what would it take to make iPhones in the United States? Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas. Why can’t that work come home? Mr. Obama asked.

After countless discussions, predictions and just plain guessing – Motorola did us all a favor and released pricing on the much anticipated WiFi only Xoom Tablet. What will the 32GB wifi model cost you: $599 and it will be available in countless brick and mortar locations (Amazon.com, Best Buy, Costco, RadioShack, Staples, Walmart, Sam’s Club (select locations) on March 27th.

The $599 price tag goes right up against Apple’s wifi only 32GB iPad 2 – being priced the same, will now allow potential consumers to make their minds up based on specs, ecosystem and mobile OS. Realistically, Motorola had to hit this price point, as Apple’s iPad 2 has been a massive hit with consumers. In fact, the success of Apple’s iPad 2 could help out Motorola’s Xoom, as now Apple’s website points to back-orders of 4-5 weeks for Cupertino’s slate. People not wanting to wait, could jump ship and grab the wifi Xoom and put a dent into Apple’s market share.
The one giant draw back, is the fact that Motorola doesn’t offer a 16GB wifi model for purchase. The $499 price point is well liked by consumers and is Apple’s most bought model, especially in this economy. Now that we know price, let’s wait for sales figures.
