Motorola XOOM price trimmed to £479.99 before launch

The wi-fi version of the Motorola XOOM Android 3.0 tablet has seen its price adjusted downwards by Dixons, with the electronics chain reducing the previous £499 price point to a new £479.99. And the tablet hasn't even launched yet.

The site still carries the same launch date disclaimer it did several weeks ago, although it now states “Delivery available – 09x04x2011″ in small print beneath the tech specs. Which is Saturday.

Would like to play with one for an hour or so, but not keen on having one permanently for that price. Thanks to reader Tim for the spot.
