Such analysis must take it with tweezers, I like to clarify from the outset that what does iSuppli is to establish a cost component to get an idea, and to compare in conditions similar to the competition. Naturally the price of each item will depend on quite the quantities purchased by Motorola.

All the important gadgets in the market have passed through his hands, and the truth is that we wanted to a device as Motorola Xoom, as questioned by its high course price. The price component of the Honeycomb tablet is of $359.92.

Outside are a good lot of concepts such as distribution, advertising, manufacturing, design, etc, etc. But it's funny to see as a first generation iPad (32 GB / 3 G) is slightly less expensive, $ 320. The new iPad will have to be in a similar to the Motorola tablet numbers.

Let's review the most important components:

As usual, the screen tends to be the element more costs, specifically $140 by the 10.1-inch capacitive, representing 39% of the total.It memory is the second most expensive thing, the 32 GB out for something more than 80 $, 22% of the total.3250 MAh battery leaves by 23 dollars.Nvidia Tegra 2 processor thought that it would be more expensive, but stays at 20.78 dollars, a 6% of the total. Twice as much as the cost of the processor of the first iPad.Terminamos with cameras, the 5 megapixel rear camera and the 2 megapixel front camera, go for $14, 4% of the total.

We remind you that the Motorola Xoom 3 G has exit to the North American market for 800 $ without any contract, the comparable model of iPad 2 is $ 729.

The own Motorola, at mouth of its CEO Sanjay Jha, reported that the WiFi version would be by 599.99 $, but the issue is that an American store, Sam's Club, advertises this by 539 dollars with 32 GB.

With this price would be 40 euros more expensive than a 2 16 GB iPad. It seems that to see actual prices in shops of the WiFi version we are doing to the idea that can be competitive.

If we fiamos the information provided by PC World, Motorola Xoom could reach Europe on 9 April, at least in United Kingdom, which also announces a price for the WiFi version of 499.99 pounds (around 599 euros).

Presented once bet iPad 2, with dates and clear prices for Europe, is time that the competition is putting the battery so that customers can plan the purchase of one or other option.
