    Post Anyone tried PDair pouch?

    I have the same PDair version, but with a belt clip. It protects the screen just fine, in fact that is what I bought it for. It's not slim, but its the only thing I put in that pocket. For the times i'm not wearing business clothes (often) I clip the clip on the edge of my pocket, so the pouch...

    Try Waze. Crowd sources for things like accidents, slow traffic, checkpoints, construction. Kind of a social driving tool with Nav.

    Post Official Samsung Docks

    Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile...

    Post ProClip Vehicle Mounts available for pre-order

    I think you are right. They've change the model number to the GSM version. It shouldn't be hard for Proclip to make a VZW one. Just a little more machining. These clips are pretty finely manufactured so apparently they think that 1mm will make a difference. Question is, how much longer will the...

    Post Accessories (for the 10.1)!

    I was wondering about the dock photos too. Thinking of getting the tab, but a potrait stand is really something that would make me prefer the xoom. However if the dock fits in landscape and cradles it, it's an improvement over the xoom's two that are held mostly by the connector. Sent from my...

    Post Has the Xoom successfully replaced your laptop yet?

    Xoom killed my MSi u210. Well some sort of CPU hog that I haven't fixed did that. But then the Xoom came and I haven't tried to fix the netty since. Win 7 on my netbook worked until my CPU started running near 99 percent half the time, making small tasks like checking email take 10 minutes...

    Post What's Your Favorite Music App For Your Xoom?

    Im using Rhapsody. $15 a month unlimited music, 3 mobile devices authorized, (I use it on my OG Droid too) and it shares the library with those devices, and PC. You can download your playlists for offline playback which is great since I don't pay for 3G service on Xoom. Has radio playlists but...

    Post Does the wifi xoom have GPS?

    You can pre-cache maps in Google Maps. Just make your route while you are connected to wifi and it will save it. It stays in the cache for a long time as far as i can tell.

    Post [Q] Reconsidering the Xoom, but would like some input.

    I too use auto brightness all the time, but maybe I live in a dark existence. I use the gel case all the time, and no screen protector. When I take it with me, its in my protective net book sleeve in my backpack so I'm not really worried about the screen. If I start to hear complaints here...

    Post Summarization of complaints regarding the XOOM.

    I agree. People that make an argument like this are no better than apple in telling them what limits their device has. And the guy wasn't complaining about airplane GPS, he was just wondering about it. There's a lot of people that do recreational flying and only do daylight clear weather...

    Post When you received your 25% off Xoom from Motorola, is it in brand new condition?

    Mine came from Moto unsealed, half open, and everything jostled. They shipped in a box that was too big, and with not enough air bags to secure it. So in transit, the bags shifted, the top of the Xoom box opened, and then contents got shuffled around.

    Just an update, Rhapsody works great on here. Obviously, the interface is for phones, but it scales well on the Xoom. Offline files play fine too. $10 a month for unlimited music sounds good!

    Post Why I'm returning my Xoom after just 24 hours

    I agree. The average person won't even know they're an early adopter, or that its a google experience device, or that it has an unlocked boot loader. They'll just experience it working less than perfect and take it back. If they're battling Apple, they need to atleast match it in all categories...

    Not all tethering is created equal. Hotspots and various phones act different. Im in the same boat with my moto droid. Adhoc is what the wifi tether app creates on my phone too. I wonder if newer phones, or other programs can create an artificial hotspot?

    Post Wifi Tethering to my phone

    I think you are right. Android devices can't wifi connect to ad-hoc connections, thus tethering doesn't work. However, if you have hotspot capability on your phone it might be different. Or even different tethering programs that don't do ad hoc. Do these exist?

    Post Motorola Xoom Verizon User Guide Available

    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.

    Post So no Snapdragon = no Netflix app for Xoom?
