Update: A tipster is now telling Engadget that the Motorola Xoom will cost $700 at Best Buy, which is less than the $800 "minimum advertised price" revealed earlier.

The Motorola Xoom Honeycomb tablet could launch Thursday, February 17, according to a leaked Best Buy document. The news comes just days following the "Minimum Advertised Price" leak from Verizon, setting the MAP for the Android-powered device at $800.
The document, sent to Engadget from an inside tipster, reveals that at least the 32GB Xoom stock is set to arrive on February 16 for the next day launch.
Motorola unveiled the tablet at CES, claiming it would be available in Q1, with a Verizon 4G update available in Q2, which would require a physical upgrade to existing Xooms for early adopters. However, the model on the show floor at CES was not fully operational, and was displaying a real-time demo of the Honeycomb OS instead of the actual operating system.
