I can't see that happening with Apple all but controlling global LCD and flash availability and therefore a huge influence on price.

Many of these announced and as yet unshipped devices are going to get a huge canon ball to the side next week. Many of them are going to sink before they ever get a chance to sail.

The only thing that's more ridiculous than Motorola's pricing on the Xoom is the way the release and sales are being handled. The thing has been total clusterfuck with Verizon, IMO. Now the latest is that LTE will ship in 90 days. That's going to be a long 90 days. If Motorola is currently sitting on a huge margin they may have a chance be significantly dropping the price, but I think they're sitting on thin margins as it is and won't have any room for that, nor to ramp the product into significant enough volumes to change the situation in the next 3 to 4 months.
