Sprint allows new customers to take $100 off Apple, Samsung and Motorola tablets by buying a smartphone

Yes a contract is required to save 100 on the tablet. And the Xoom is not a connected tablet so a person cannot get 100 off the Xoom.

That's not true, there are no longer any contracts for tablets at Sprint. It is recommended that you keep it for at least 3 months to get your activation fee back, but there is no annual contract for tablets even when you take the $100 off. The only contract required is for the cell phone that has to be purchased with the tablet to save the $100. I work at Sprint too.

Just as an additional note, you don't necessarily have to perform the upgrade at the same time as the tablet purchase to receive the benefits of the promo. It is retroactive to September 15th, if you've upgraded a contract or started a line of service SINCE THEN with a smartphone, you are now eligible to get that $100 off on a contracted tablet.

I'm sure not sure if this was properly clarified but yeah, as was stated earlier, if you pay the full price for the tablet you will not have to sign any variety of contract, however if you get that discount then yes, you will be on contract, it is required. I've done a lot of these this month, it is a great promotion for those already in the market for iPads especially.

I can confirm no contract is required if you do not receive the $100 discount. We just bought a new Sprint 4G LTE iPad w/ Retina Display and we are not under contract and were able to sign up for the $15/mo 1GB plan as my employer uses Sprint even though I have Verizon service. You can also switch plans without signing / renewing a contract. If you do not receive a subsidy on the device, there is no contract but I would assume a contract would apply w/ the $100 discount with new / upgrade activations of a smartphone and tablet.
