It has been reported for the holidays Verizon is releasing 2 4G Droid tablets! The wireless carrier plans to sell the Motorola Mobility Droid Xyboard in two sizes: a larger 10-inch design and a smaller 8-inch brother. Verizon didn’t provide details on the specifications, pricing, or launch date, although it will come out this month.

Motorola declined to provide details as well.

“As we’ve previously mentioned, we’re planning to bring several new LTE devices to market including two tablets,” the company said in a statement. “We haven’t made any official announcements in the U.S. but we look forward to sharing more details soon.”

For Verizon, the Xyboard tablets represent two high-profile additions to its growing portfolio of 4G LTE devices. That the carrier has opted to add the Droid name signals that both products are part of its premium lineup. Motorola, meanwhile, gets another crack at the tablet market with the successors to the Xoom. (They are sold overseas as Xoom 2).

Both tablets have a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor and 1 gigabyte of RAM. They each have a 5-megapixel camera in the back and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The devices are both thinner than a AAA battery and lighter than a paperback book. They also feature Corning’s tough Gorilla Glass.
The 10-inch Xyboard is intended for use by business customers, and includes a stylus. The smaller Xyboard, meanwhile, is intended to be a more media-centric device and comes with a 2.1 virtual surround sound system that includes a subwoofer.
