Motorola XOOM, ATRIX 4G sales disappointing, says analyst
There is much hype about the Motorola ATRIX 4G, which, as a matter of fact, was voted "Best of Show CES 2011", and the company's powerful XOOM tablet, but according to Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette, these devices are not selling as well as expected.
Citing channel checks, the analyst claims that the sales of both devices "have been disappointing". Faucette singles out the reason behind the Motorola ATRIX 4G's not so good sales as the fact there are some quite decent handsets at AT&T's line up which are offered for $49.99 (yes, you guessed it right - he is talking about the HTC Inspire 4G and the iPhone 3GS), and this keeps the sales of the Motorola ATRIX 4G "well below forecast".
Are you surprised that the Motorola ATRIX 4G and Motorola XOOM are not selling very well? Are these cutting-edge devices for geeks only?
