Dont stress, not all Xooms will get this update. My MZ601 3G version isn't even on 3.1 yet, and prob won't be by Xmas here in Australia.....

Is the autocorrect on your icrap a feature?

Yep, isn't it great for there to be expandable memory on an Android device, which Apple gas made clear will never be an option on their devices?

But is this the innovation you're talking about sniggly? The ground breaking updates that leave iOS in the dust?

No... but it's still something that the iPad can't do, and now that the wifi XOOM is a hundred bucks cheaper than an iPad 2 with a comparable flash memory drive, it makes the XOOM a hell of a deal. Now all the XOOM needs is the LTE radio and we'll be set.

What is the Xoom price at? $449? Still overpriced for a a basic web browser. I'd be willing to pay about $150 for a web browser if I didn't have an iPad.

It's still less overpriced than the iPad, and offers all the same features as an iPad/iPad 2.

Face it, Taco, the XOOM is like a fine wine; it only gets better with age.

its a good price for the 32BG device you get updates first than anyone and with this things working now you should be on pair with the 10.1 on some aspects

Have you seen the comments on Apple articles? A few quips from Taco is hardly as bad as the fandroid hate that follows EVERY Apple article.

Sprints only going to be carrying the wifi version of the Xoom btw.
