Installing now. Will advise.

My Xoom is stock and I was not part of the Motorola testing group.

Ugh, pic isn't showing up on Xoom browser. Which ROM version did you have? US, or international, or other?

Well, seems like you're one of the first on XDA to get it. Browsing other threads and I see no mentions of OtA pushes.

Still going to flash back to 3.0 and see where it takes me!

I just got on PC to check it out. Pic doesn't work because it seems it's in a private Dropbox folder.

Anyway, can anyone put up a screenshot of the details please? Want to compare to the 'soak test' ROM. (Although, it is IML77 too..)

Sorry. Pic is now in PhotoBucket.com. These pictures are kicking my ass; I can't get them to size down.

FYI the 'soak test' is exactly the same. Seems there were no problems with it.

A bit disappointing considering the missing functionality, but congrats on your official ICS. :)

We'll see what happens eh.
I believe that the update will only be pushed out to GED (Google Experience Device) Xooms, thus precluding UK Xooms to the update. You could try using the Motorola GED fastboot images to "restore" the GED firmware, and then waiting for the OTA. At that point, though, I'd wonder why you wouldn't simply just want to install one of the custom ROMs I mention in my XDA portal or BriefMobile posts.

Indeed. I'm starting to find the approach to OTA updates by Google a bit hap-hazard quite frankly. It's the same with my Galaxy Nexus. Some people I know who have purchased the phone recently have 4.0.2 on their GSM phone. I can't even get the OTA for it!

I've never stayed stock on any devices but as these devices get crisper I've tended to look at staying stock.

The only reason for me not to currently is the piss-poor way in which OTAs are managed. This Xoom update might just be another example.

Don't even get me started on that issue...

    Bought the xoom just as it came out in the US..now in India for the holidays and haven't got the OTA update yet....upgraded to 3.2.1 here in India...so will I be getting the update anytime now or when it comes out internationally?
    It comes out according to your ROM location (which is US?), not your actual physical location.

    So how it is ? Do you see a boost on reactivity and browser experience ? I'm on Transformer 1 so i have to wait 2 weeks... But want to know how Tegra 2 is dealing with ICS
    Everything is so much smoother. The interfce doesn't have awkward pauses. Browswer is faster and doesn't lock up as much, or crash.

    I also remember hearing that ICS properly uses dual-core, unlike HC where it would use 2nd core only under stress.

    Overall, pretty noticeable improvement.
