The Verizon Motorola XOOM was the very first tablet to get Android 3 Honeycomb. Sadly, that is still what runs on the device. However, rumor has it that an Ice Cream Sandwich update for the XOOM is right around the corner.

According to Droid-Life, the new Ice Cream Sandwich update is rolling out right now to select owners over-the-air, with the new code bringing quicker screen rotation, a new setting to "immediately lock the screen," improvements on the camera and a few other minor advancements.

Motorola doing soak test for the Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi; update is coming
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
If you have a Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi, Motorola would like you to participate in a soak test. This beta test would allow you to check out the next software update before everyone else, just to make sure that everything is running fine after the software is installed. Because the tablet already received the Ice Cream Sandwich update this past January, we could be looking at Android 4.04 or Android 4.05. Don't expect more than just a few bug fixes and some enhancements here and there.
Motorola has sent out an email to those it is asking to join. You do have to be a member of the Motorola Feedback Network to receive these requests. And your reward is just that feeling that you did something good fo...

Motorola XOOM 32GB Wi-Fi is on the cheap for today only at $299
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
Last time we heard about the Motorola XOOM, it wasn’t necessarily good news as Motorola was trying to track down improperly refurbished units that were eventually sold by Woot.com containing personal information from previous owners. Well, if you can somehow overcome that fear, you might take fancy in the fact that it’s selling for a mere $304.98 with shipping included.
Specifically, daily sales web site 1saleaday.com is offering the once beloved and first Honeycomb flavored tablet at the super low price point, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s a factory-refurbished unit. Yeah, we know what you’re thinking, especially after hearing about the fiasco from not too long ago. Nevertheless, it’s...

Google tablet - 7-inch device in the works?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleMotorolaGoogleAmazoniPad 2GALAXY Tab 10.1XOOM 2Kindle Fire
Google will jump into the tablet market this year with its own 7-inch device, according to a DisplaySearch analyst.
The tablet market has experienced rapid growth over the past couple of years thanks to devices such as the iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Kindle Fire and it looks as though Google wants in on that cake, with its Ice Cream Sandwich operating system providing it with a good starting point.
Speaking to Cnet, analyst Richard Shim suggested that a self-branded, 7-inch (1280x800) Google tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich would start production in April.

Motorola XOOM tablets reportedly getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMotorolaGoogleXOOMAndroid 4.0
Reports are coming in that Motorola's XOOM Android tablets are starting to receive Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update. According to Android Central, an email has been sent out to select XOOM users stating, "Thanks for your patience as we've waited for this project to begin. Because we are dealing with a Google Experience Device (GED) we have less insight to timing than we would usually have. However, I'm happy to announce that we will start the update this evening. Because it was delayed a few days, we will also have additional time to test; we will let it run through the weekend." Let us know if you have seen your ICS update.

Motorola and Intel hold hands for multi-year, multi-device partnership, shipments start 2H 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsIntelMotorola
Well, look who just showed up at Intel's CES 2012 keynote? Motorola Mobility's own Sanjay Jha just grabbed a bit of the limelight -- long enough to announce a multi-year, multi-device agreement that should see Intel's Medfield chips powering Moto's hardware (the second announced behind Lenovo) in the not-too-distant future. Naturally, we're guessing Android will be the OS of choice here, but we can only guess what Motorola's going to do when all of its other chip partners come knocking with new questions.

Secret Motorola XOOM project hints at Android 4.0 update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMotorolaGoogleXOOMAndroid 4.0
Motorola recently posted a message in its XOOM owners forums alerting customers that the company is working on a confidential project for the XOOM. Any owner of the Wi-Fi-only “Google Experience Device” version of the XOOM can choose to participate. What remains unknown, however, is what the “confidential project” exactly is. We doubt Motorola would spend too much time adding new features or making too many tweaks to the tablet now that a new model has launched, so we think it’s more likely that the company is working on a test version of Ice Cream Sandwich. Motorola confirmed that in October that it plans to issue an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the XOOM, RAZR and DROID BIONIC. ...

Motorola Xoom receives early Android 4.0.3 build as Google adds source code to AOSP
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMotorolaGoogleXOOMAndroid 4.0
Since Android 4.0.3 is the "base version" for Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has added the source code for it to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The build supports two devices — we've already seen the update roll out for the Nexus S, but the other is a device that was also launched in direct partnership with Google: the Motorola Xoom (Wi-Fi). True to form, the enterprising hackers at XDA-Developers have already compiled it into a bootable ROM for the Motorola Xoom.
The build is certainly not for the faint of heart: the camera doesn't work and there are likely plenty of other bugs, and as an AOSP-build it also doesn't include Google Apps. All that might be the bad news, but the good news ...

European Xoom 3Gs receiving Android 3.2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMotorolaGoogleXOOMAndroid 3.2
Last month, European Wi-Fi Xooms received the latest version of Honeycomb, and now it's coming to its more mobile 3G-bearing sibling. The update includes a new apps scaling feature so that apps designed for the smaller screen display better on larger devices, along with support for SD card expansion. According to forum posts by a Motorola support representative, the update is rolling out now to Austria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany (both retail and T-Mobile versions), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. Confusingly, the forum posts direct users towards the My Xoom support pages for more information, but nothing r...

Motorola promises Android 4.0 ICS upgrades for DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, XOOM (again)

Motorola has posted a rather lengthy explanation of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade process to its corporate blog, where it details the four major steps that need to occur before a software update is made available to users. Unfortunately, the company doesn't provide any extra information as to exactly when the Android 4.0 upgrade for existing devices will be released or when it plans to launch new devices with Android 4.0 already on them. It did reiterate its previous commitment to bring the new software to the DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, and XOOM tablet, but it has yet to provide an exact timeframe.

Verizon has made the DROID XYBOARD Android tablets official, the 4G LTE versions of Motorola’s XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition slates. The 10.1-inch and 8.2-inch tablets each have a 1280 x 800 IPS display, 5-megapixel main camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, along with WiFi a/b/g/n and that all important EVDO Rev.A/LTE.

There’s also an infrared port, which – along with the Dijit app that comes preloaded – allows the two XYBOARD tablets to work as universal remote controls.

In The US, Xoom 2 Will Be Droid Xyboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM 2
Motorola is planning to nix the "Xoom" name for its next ambitious Android tablet project.
The company's newest Verizon-powered 4G LTE tablet will not be called the Xoom 2 as had been expected. Instead, the company came up with the name "Droid XyBoard."
There are a couple reasons why the name change makes sense. First of all, the Xoom hasn't made nearly the kind of splash Motorola and Verizon were expecting. Instead, it has just sort of fallen into the generic group of Android tablets.
Second, if there's one name in the Android universe that almost everyone knows, it's "Droid." We were frankly quite surprised when the original Xoom was announced and did not carry the Droid moniker, which is ...

Motorola Xoom update brings pay-as-you-go 4G LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
The Motorola Xoom on Verizon should be receiving a minor update which will be bringing a pay-as-you-go option for 4G LTE data.
According to CNET, the HLK75F update will give you a month-to-month option for 4G LTE data and I think this makes the Xoom much more appealing. While it’s a big old and still larger than the competition, having 4G LTE to use without having to sign a long-term contract is really cool. I could see multiple scenarios where I’d want mobile data on my tablet on a pay-as-you-go basis and this is how it works on rival Apple’s iPad.

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessGALAXY NexusXOOM 2XOOM 2 Media Edition
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is going to hit shelves a lot sooner then we all thought. A leaked Verizon road map suggests a November 21 “web only” launch date for the next big Android handset. This news comes after reports first suggested a launch on the 10th then that date switched to a Nov. 17 launch. Rumor after rumor seems to come almost daily, as Verizon keeps pushing the actual release date all over the place.
Maybe this Nov. 21 date sticks, especially since it happens to be on the same week as Black Friday and the release of the Droid Razr according to the road map. It would be a smart move for America’s largest carrier to release one of the most anticipated phones of the ye...
