Uh, no. I think if you were disappointed than your expectations were too high. If you've used Honeycomb, then very little in ICS should surprise you, given that Google is simply using ICS as a vehicle to link phones with the work already accomplished on their tablet OS. Honeycomb is great...

It's no surprise that Google is leaving SDcards out of its Nexus phones. They want all data to end up in their cloud. To a true Google purist, physical storage is superfluous, and I'm ok with that. Given Google Music, Picassa, etc..., there's not much I can see actually loading onto my phone...

Love it. Really looking forward to Google rolling ICS out to the Nexus S (given that I probably won't be picking up the Prime for quite some time).

Ok, so I have my Google Wallet now, but I'm a little surprised that I can't manage my Wallet through google.com/wallet. I still just get the marketing pages. It would also be nice if I could tap into Google Checkout with my Wallet, given that I already have my payment information saved through...

Hmm... I'd probably buy one if I could find one. I was planning on nabbing one over the weekend, but I was quite preoccupied. Oh well.. maybe they'll start popping up on ebay with only a modest markup soon.

Gadget blogs like Engadget seem to be trying to spin Google+Motorola as something that will push hardware partners toward WP7. I'm sorry, but I think this perspective is idiotic, short-sighted, and essentially flamebait. If consumers want Android, manufacturers will continue making...

Not sure. Between $75-$100, I'd guess since I got my Xoom. Of course, I've been using Android since the day the G1 was released, so I'm sure the grand total is somewhere between $100-$150. It would probably be higher if Google had allowed devs to sell from day one... something that still bums...

I'm thrilled. This seems like an absolutely brilliant move on the part of Page and company. Also, I don't think that other Android hardware developers have anything to worry about. In fact, I'd say that they have even less to worry about now that Google is getting all those Motorola patents.

Better than creating a new thread to discuss a topic that has already been introduced, don't you think? ;)

I love my Xoom, even if my love for Motorola is waning, but I do have to agree to a point. When I bought the thing, I had dreams of an all-in-one device... something that I could use as a laptop replacement but that I could also use to make phone calls. Well, I can make phone calls using...

Well, better late than never. I still can't help but wonder if the date will get pushed back even more. At this point, I'm more amused than anything else.

September? lol *tears* I don't actually care that much, but with the 10.1 LTE coming out in just a few days, I'm starting to feel the sting of irony. I'm still not sure I even want to upgrade to LTE once the upgrade is ready, given potential battery issues. Battery > speed.

I don't know if it will add any more spice to your life than the iPad, but I can say that I use my XOOM daily, and I've yet to get weary of it. And I got it the day it was released.

If I had a uterus, I would offer to have your babies. Working great on XOOM.

So it looks like Netflix is finally coming to Honeycomb, but I wonder how long it will take for it to show up on the Xoom: http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/netflix-to-stream-from-hdmi-equipped-tablets-enable-lo/ Edit: Or does the Xoom lack this pre-requisite hardware needed for streaming...

Just tried running the package, and I can confirm that this is the result. Works great until you try and play something. Darn.

I can speak up about this in 3.1, given that this was a huge issue for me. 3.0 was terrible. I lost whole documents because the delete key would run on repeat. 3.1 almost eliminated the problem... almost. I also use a bluetooth headset, and I find that I still get the repeating key issue but...

ok, sent you an invite.

Feel free to add: https://plus.google.com/110287537261889109049 I'll go through and add all of you this evening.

I would love an invite. It would be my XDA username @ gmail. Thanks :)

I barely care a lick if I get LTE, but the fact that LTE was one of the main reasons for the Xoom's high price annoys me greatly, especially given that we'll probably see other 4G devices at a lower price on the market soon (if they aren't available already).

Hmm.... I have these, and while it is infrequent, they do sometimes seem to stutter a bit from time-to-time while using my bluetooth keyboard. I also still get the stuttering key problem when using my headphones, but it always stops after a second (unlike in the 3.0 days, where I'd get a...

I think... yeah... I think I might get this.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. What don't you like about it?

These have worked well for me: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Headset-Packaging/dp/B002BH3I9U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307543400&sr=8-1 They can be a little uncomfortable until they're positioned right, which might take a second of fidgeting.

Hmm.... Anyone here actually been contacted?

I'm sorry that it's taking me so long to make up my mind.... I'm still not sure if I'm going to pick one of these cases up given some of the mixed reactions. So I may just wait until they show up in my local Verizon store and then see if I can get some nice employee to take one out of the box...

I find it curious that you would need to repair whenever you turn it off. With my current bluetooth keyboard, it's already paired... it just needs to reconnect. I always shut it off whenever not in use though just to prevent these sorts of issues. Even in my bag, keys still get pressed. I've...

Looks like it's available on the VZW website now: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12652&accessoryId=47597 Edit: NVM... out of stock Edit again: Actually, if you give the website a west coast zip, it will show up as in-stock. I put in a...

Does it need a hard surface or will the screen stand up on its own?

Sweet. Unfortunately it came much later than I would have liked, but I'll pick it up early next month if the community (i.e., you all) like it.

Looks all but perfect. I'll probably wait around for an official Android 3.x supported release, but it's good to see that something like this works. I'm sure I'll subscribe once that's the case.

I think of the big three (Kindle app, Nook app, and Google Books) that Google Books and the Nook app are the more polished of the three, though the Kindle has the largest store. Whenever I learn of a book I want to purchase, I always check Google Books first, but to be honest, it rarely has...

I wonder if anyone has had any luck modifying any of the iPad 1 keyboard cases to fit the Xoom.

If it were me, I'd be picking between the Xoom and the Tab 10.1, and it's a tough decision. I'm a big fan of my Xoom; it's replaced my laptop for most tasks. Just go play with them; check out specs, how they feel, etc.... I'm sure the Xoom will get faster updates, and it's a really solid...

Yes, yes... now run along and play. This thread is obviously not for you.

Like others, I'm using the Steinheil, and it's pretty damn good. Difficult to apply though (see the thread devoted to the Steinheil for help on this front). Fingerprints are barely noticeable and glare is eliminated. I still have to wipe it down about once a week, but that's a lot better than...

Me too. I'm somewhat nervous that it will be canceled. I really wanted it for my trip beginning tomorrow, but... you know... *sigh*.

Thanks for the info. I really hope someone up the chain of command didn't decide to scrap this for some reason. I think the Transformer proved that there's a market for this sort of thing. Too bad we can't order it direct. Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Pretty sure. But if you want to check at your own local store, here's the item number: MOTMZ600BTCAS

Please read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076295

Since we know it's in the VZW warehouses, maybe it would be possible to order it via phone? Maybe you could do that and pay for overnight air. Part# MOTMZ600BTCAS

Dang... I'll be on the road next Friday and really wanted this case for traveling. Sigh.

Stepped into my largest area store this morning to ask if they had arrived or if they knew when they would arrive, and they looked at me as if I were speaking on tongues. In other words, they had no idea what I was talking about. I guess I could have pulled out the item number, but I was in a...

Got the updated app... still waiting for the official invite. I'd imagine most Xoom owners will get in pretty quickly.

Edit: wrong thread

Dude, I was totally wrong. Yes!

This is good news, but I am a bit disappointed that Google won't let me use my existing Google cloud storage and is instead doing some strange "song limit" thing.

This would surprise me. Some folks have already demonstrated cloud ability in the existing Xoom Honeycomb player. It's just not active. It would be nice to get a sweet rollout today of both Google Music and the big update we've all been waiting for, but I have a feeling we're just going to...

I don't think anybody knows... not even Motorola.
