[Q] how will wi-fi xoom get updates?

[lpasq]

Anyone know how Google plans to push updates to Wi-Fi Xoom?

You have to walk* to the Motorola Approves Update Pavilion and plug it into the Update Matrix.

........OTA notifications would not be similar to mobile network registered IEMI sniffed by Google servers would it?...or will it be more so like a Market update?

 

[socomdark]

it will be ota and my guess both versions will get updates at the same time seeing as their are 2 different models of the nexus one at the moment (att and T-Mobile) that still get otas simultaneously. They are different models but essentially the same os

This amazing thing happens, a popup says an update is available and you click it.

What do you think would happen?

In defense of the OP, I think the question is more of a "I wonder how it works" since the Wifi version doesn't have an IEMI number to register with Google's servers. My assumption is that it uses our device ID instead. mine is something like android_75ac12540 (I know thats wrong, but it is similar)

thanks. yeah...am wondering how the ota servers will identify these wi-fi xooms.

Is it Possible...

that on a WiFi only Xoom, some sort of app occasionally pings a Motorola server to seek an update? I believe that this is the method used by Barnes and Noble to provide OTA Nook updates.

I don't think it possible that Motorola could seek out each individual Xoom, and in any case, how would they get around individual router security from the outside?

What I am guessing is that it will come in the same as an app update from the market. Essentially the market was made smart with the recent release of HC, to be able to detect the device that is signing in with your google account. Its software version is listed as well (which is why some people with custom roms cant send apps to their phones via the web marketplace) so the market will be able to tell if there is an update, notify you... and then give you the option to download it. They cannot push an update to your Xoom without a wifi connection, and due to it being intermittent, you can guess that it will be optional.

Thanks to those taking time to share in the discussion.

We all know our devices ping the servers of whichever brand and carrier your device belongs aswell as the fact that there is a myriad of different id numbers to choose from. My best guess is that moto has a ping app on the device to allievate firewall issues and that will trigger an update in the traditional ota sense. (Thanks to the person who id'd the source of the last update to a moto server, not a google one.)

My xoom shows a time like 10:30 for the last time it checked for a update guessing it automatically checks in every day or so.
