With the rise of devices like the A500 and similar Honecomb-powered tablets, the Xoom has a very short window of opportunity to cash in on any potential sales. To remedy that, it seems that Verizon will be pushing out an LTE 4G 16GB Xoom tablet for what we can only assume will be considerably less than the $600 the 32GB Xoom costs currently.

Even Droid-Life’s tipster has no idea how much this 16GB model will cost but it’s an interesting fast-thinking move on Motorola’s part.
