Motorola Xoom Tablet Sales Way Down

The tablet race is on between Motorola’s Xoom, Apple’s iPad, Blackberry’s Playbook and several others. It doesn’t look good for the Xoom so far.

Motorola released its earnings report on Thursday, and sales were way low with tablets faring near the worst among the company’s products.

“The company shipped 11 million mobile devices over the past three months, according to the quarterly statement. Yet only 440,000 of those were tablet devices. In other words, the Motorola Xoom Android tablet flopped big time.”

“Out of the remaining 10.56 million devices shipped, 4.4 million of those were smartphones. That number of course pales in comparison to Apple’s 20-plus million iPhones sold last quarter, and even to the 5 million Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphones sold in the first three months of the phone’s release. Especially considering that’s 4.4 million across all of Motorola’s device models.”

The trend away from desktop PCs continues as consumers desire the mobility of a laptop or tablet PC.

What about you? Do you have a tablet PC? Is one better than all the others?
