An inside man or woman at Sam’s Club has sent Droid-Life a few pictures of the Motorola Xoom end cap display there, and the price is refreshingly low, considering the total cost of ownership for a subsidized 3G one. $539 is still a chunk of change, but it might give the iPad shopper pause. Bear in mind these prices are unconfirmed, and considering the other errors on the placard (“Android 2.0 Homeycomb”) could easily be a mistake or guess.

Update: Yeah, it looks like that’s definitely a two-year-contract price. False alarm. Oh well!
