Motorola XOOMs Zoom not print shop shelves

Do some extrapolation, Deutsche Bank figures that Xoom sale is approximately 100,000 so far.

Math is not hard.  Look at the Android Dev latest numbers for Android sales (1 April) ...

Android Dev

Duetsche Bank figures. 2% of Android devices accessed Android market translates to 100,000 units.  This means that appreciate the 50 million Android devices used Android market over the past two weeks.  Having regard to the Androids run rate is about 10 million units per month after a steep climb, that seems reasonable (although Google (GOOG) will not be able to publish such figures).

There is a unit of navigation running Android 3.0 (even if developers have adapted some of the other computers), Motorola (MMI) Xoom.

Xoom came without Adobe's (ADBE) Flash, but the possibility of using its own SD card slot, and only a few apps that took advantage of its larger screen.  It also operates a very new and largely untested version of Google's Android honeycomb.

In view of this, 100,000 units are not horrible — unless the look of the isle (EMMYS) on Apple's iPad, 2 which also has no official speeches be attached, but probably sold 100,000 units before lunch on day one of sales. Many experts believe that millions, if not millions of iPad, 2 have been sold already.

It is important to remember that the first Android phone, G1, wasn't a significant success for the first year of its existence.  Google kept iterating though and wound up with substantial successes with Droid about a year later.   With about 50 new tablets will downpipe run Honeycomb, it is still too early to count Google.

As for Xoom beat not the even older Samsung Galaxy tab in PC World tests.

It will be interesting to see how the landscape changes during the next year.
