The Deutsche Bank has released a report that claimed that Motorola’s Honeycomb tablet, the Xoom, has sold just 100,000 units, in reference to a Dow Jones news report. This number is gained by counting the number of users of the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system which is so far exclusively available on the Motorola tablet.

Despite the low volume in contrast to the number of Apple’s sale volume, the firm calls it “a good start”, and estimate the figure to rise to 150,000 in the second quarter, when the Xoom gets into more countries. The second quarter will also see more Honeycomb tablets being launched, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and LG Optimus Pad.

Sales number of Apple is in million as usual. DigiTimes report sources in the touch panel supply chain for Apple iPad 2 claimed that Apple took delivery of between 2.4 to 2.6 million in the tablet’s launch month, which was last month.

Looking at the ratio, the Motorola Xoom is being outsold by 25 to 1 compared to Apple’s brand new iPad 2, which means that the Android platform still has a long ladder to climb before going head to head with Apple.
