Default Motorola Xoom Verizon User Guide Available

Don't think this has been posted here yet so I thought I would share.

Droid-Life.com has the article, and here's the download link.

edit:

Also, there seems to be a help app you can download a http://www.motorola.com/xoomhelp but it doesn't appear to be available yet.
Android Devices:
HTC EVO 4G LTE - Stock
Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Stock
Motorola Xoom - Verizon - Rooted
HTC EVO 4G - Rooted
HTC Hero - Rooted
HTC T-Mobile G1 - Rooted

So, no USB charging, it requires it's own unique power cable.

Also, it mentions the HDMI out, and says you can watch videos, display your pictures, and show videos you've recorded all via HDMI. It does not say that it outputs the screen to HDMI like the Adam. This is something I want, and so far it doesn't look too good..

Hmm... full HDMI out is a pretty critical feature for me.

It seems like it's going to be exactly the same as it is on the Droid X, there are apps to allow clone mode output through HDMI on the X. Hopefully they will get a app for the Xoom not to far after it's release.

Huh, wonder why there isn't an app like that for the EVO. The EVO has the same issue, only Gallery and YouTube outputs via HDMI, and nobody has been able to make it do otherwise.

The Notion Ink Adam outputs the entire screen via HDMI, that's what I want for the Xoom.

I would bet this has all to do with HDCP.

It will be interesting to see how Netflix / Hulu Plus will be handled with this feature once they're available.

And also how the 'Speaker HD Dock' interfaces with this issue.

In nearly all cases I have seen with smartphones, what they claim is always more than what you will get even in standby. It is like they test things in safe mode with nothing running. I hope at least 10 hours but I would not be surprised if it is much less. Although I want one bad, I think I am going to wait for the early adopters to report real world numbers first.
