Motorola Xoom: Shipping Without Flash

To be a true 'iPad beater', there's one rule; have Flash capabilities. That's the word on the street, anyway.

Turns out though, Motorola's Xoom tablet is to ship without Flash. Yep, the Honeycomb wielding, supposed game changer will be without Flash, at least on launch, that is.

According to Version Wireless' dedicated page to the Xoom, some fine small print (see zoomed photo below) points out that Flash is expected Spring 2011. This is probably due to the wait of Adobe Flash's new 10.2 media player, due for release in the coming weeks.
