Are the Motorola Xoom and Atrix Flops?
PC World: Motorola moves far fewer Xoom tablets and Atrix smartphones than expected, apparently.
"It's only been a few weeks since Motorola's top-of-the-range Android tablet and smartphone went on sale and analysts are asserting the Xoom and Atrix are duds. Motorola has not disclosed any sales numbers for its shiny new gadgets, but Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette told Forbes sales for the two Android devices "have been disappointing.""
"Sales for the Motorola Xoom tablet and Atrix smartphones, launched in February, are "well below forecast" Faucette asserted in a research note, with competition from Apple's products, as well as other cheap Android smartphones, hurting Motorola's sales."
