Sprint disclosed that it will begin selling the WiFi version of the Motorola Xoom May 8 for $599, becoming the second U.S. carrier after Verizon Wireless to offer the struggling Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablet.
Verizon began selling the WiFi + 3G version of the Xoom Feb. 24 for $599 with a two-year contract, or $799 without a contract. Motorola Mobility launched the WiFi-only version of the 10.1-inch tablet March 27 for $599.
Originally prophesied as a legitimate challenger to Apple's iPad, the Xoom shipped only 250,000 units in the last two months, compared with Apple's sales of almost 4.7 million iPads in the first quarter alone.
Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha pointed to the Xoom and Atrix 4G as highlights for the company's first quarter, but as far as the iPad goes, few will argue the Xoom or any other tablet have proven to be a true contender.
Now Sprint will test the market in less than two weeks with its own Xoom WiFi offering.
