They will definitely release it for the Xoom, but not sure when. I vaguely remember the mention of "a few weeks after the source code is made available", but I can't remember the source of that, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.
ICS uploading to AOSP servers now!

They do NOT look alike. That was clearly a XOOM. Also, the Xyboard uses a Tegra 2 same as a XOOM, so it's no more or less ICS-ready than the XOOM.
Different websites seem to report different things. If it's OMAP, that makes more sense, but hopefully the bootloader won't be permanently locked.
BTW, here's what I was talking about... (I've only heard Tegra 2, but just Google'd OMAP)
Tegra 2:

OMAP:

My bad!
Edit: Makes me laugh that there is a huge rant here about the Xyboard and he's got the architecture wrong. http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/06/try-try-again-the-xyboard-tablets-make-all-the-same-mistakes/

THE XYBOARD IS THE STUPIDEST ****ING NAME FOR ANYTHING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
Congrats Motorola.
Congrats Motorola.
I'm guessing it was Verizon since it's called the Droid Xyboard... Moto didn't name the OG Droid or any following, they're Milestone everywhere else...
Considering it was a Verizon Xoom that was showed off for the "first time" (there words) at LeWeb I would say it should only be a matter of time before we get ICS.

I bet someone at Motorola's marketing department has a serious speech impediment. He probably wanted to suggest "Zoom" and "Droid Cyborg", but it sounded like "Xoom" and "Xyboard", and so that's what got written down by his secretary.

Any news on the AOSP ICS build for our loved Xoom?
Last one was November 21, what are the remaining issues?
If you don't have time to work on it anymore, please share your build/files, I (and maybe others here) will be happy to hack.

It seems weird to me that the xoom seems so far behind on ICS Dev... it should be the furthest you would think...
Looks like the HP Touchpad is further along then the xoom and it isn't even android native.
Is there anything your average person can do to help? I would love having even a really alpha build to test...
To reiterate before the wolves jump on me, I am not asking for ETAs, and I am not saying the work is not appreciated, I am asking if we can get a flashable build of ICS to put on our xooms so we can help. A large amount of people can make headway a lot faster then a small handful. I think that's why progress seems faster on other devices.
Thanks for your work.

nvidia has not provided any tegra2 or tegra3 android 4/ICS binary's yet
Now that obviously the Galaxy Nexus has ICS and now the Nexus S is having it pushed out starting today... since this is a Google experience device I don't think it's going to be much longer until it pushes out for us.
Apparently the latest 4.0.3 AOSP can directly be built for the Xoom now:

So, it just depends on how soon is "soon" regarding the proprietary binaries. But I have a feeling we have a good chance of having ICS to play with in time for Xmas.
