Verizon is currently selling the 4G LTE capable Motorola Droid XYBOARD 10.1/8.2 models. But, don’t be surprised if you see the Wi-Fi versions of the Xyboard tablet coming to the U.S. The manufacturer is expected to show off the Wi-Fi Xyaboards at CES event next week in Las Vegas. It looks like we will be seeing them gracing next week’s event because there is an early pre-order availability of the XYBOARD Wi-Fi variants on Motorola’s official webstore. Both the Motorola Xyboard 10.1 and 8.2 models are available to place an order with 16GB and 32GB storage options, pricing ranges from $399.99 up to $599.99.
