Motorola Xoom Trademarked

Motorola has been shopping around for brands, and it has apparently trademarked the term Xoom, which is intended for a 10-inch tablet that will likely be announced at CES 2011.
Tablets are the in thing these days, especially those that run on Android. As Motorola already built inroads into the Android market with its Droid series, Tablets are the next frontier for this American manufacturer. Recent USPTO filings indicate that Motorola has trademarked the term “Xoom” which it intends for use on a product that may (or may not) launch at the upcoming CES.
The 10-inch Motorola Xoom is said to be powerd by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chip, 32 GB of memory, and two cameras.
Now I wonder about the branding of Xoom.com, which is currently a money remittance processor meant as an alternative to PayPal. Xoom used to be popular in countries not supported by PayPal fund transfers. But now that PayPal supports most countries (including bank withdrawals, which is usually the most important aspect of online payments for emerging markets), will Xoom.com be on the decline?
Motorola has trademarked the word Xoom in the US, EU, Canada, and other countries worldwide. Maybe it has something big up its sleeve, in terms of the Android tablet market.
