LG and Motorola seemed to be waging war at the moment. There’s the Motorola Atrix 4G versus the LG Optimus 2X for dual-core Android phones war. Then, there’s this LG Optimus Pad versus the Motorola Xoom for dual-core Android Honeycomb tablets war. We’ve got official pricing info for the Motorola Xoom, at $799 for the 3G version, but now we have a sort-off official price for the LG’s dark knight, and the price is quite smelting high. The Optimus Pad will be priced at €999 in Germany. However, direct conversion of the price is not actually a way to reflect how the tablet may actually be priced in US and worldwide. There’s a 19-percent VAT on Germany pricing, as usual in Europe, and as we look at pricing trends of Europe and US, there’s a possibility that the tablet will be priced at $999 in US and worldwide, instead of $1,350 if you do a straight conversion, or even $1,199 if you remove the 19-percent VAT. Then again, $999 is still two hundred bucks more than Moto’s Xoom, not to mention Apple’s iPad. Ouch!
