Motorola Xoom to arrive in 16GB model, same power less coinHoping to save some of your hard earned cash on your first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet? A 16GB version of the Motorola Xoom is expected to debut at Verizon Wireless in the states. Is a second, GSM version also on tap for Europe and more specifically, the UK? Let’s find out.

Truth be told, only Motorola knows what future lies ahead for the Xoom. However, our friends at droid-life has done the leg work for us and tracked down a screenshot taken from Verizon’s device database, confirming a 16GB Xoom. This model, like Verizon’s 32GB version, packs a CDMA radio and 4G LTE hardware. Pricing for the 16GB version is expected to be about $100 cheaper than the 32GB.

For those looking for the ultimate deal, a 16GB WiFi model priced in line with the iPad 2 would certainly be an attractive proposition. Unfortunately confirmation of a WiFi-only 16GB version remains to be seen. If Motorola released a 16GB WiFi only Xoom for less than an equally sized iPad 2, who else would pony down the cold hard cash?

For now, enjoy the UK release of the Motorola Xoom this week and keep your eyes peeled for our official Xoom review.
