YES. WAY better to be late than never. Now if they'll just enable the microSD card slot.

Does this mean the DROID Bionic is almost upon us? I clearly remember a quote in which a Motorola representative said that the LTE upgrade for the Xoom and the launch of the Bionic were to both be launched the same day in the Summer.

I would think so since those leaked photos of the phone looked completed and the software on it also looked exactly like that found on the Droid 3. I have a feeling we will have the Droid 3 and Droid Bionic coming out this month or July.

how come no one is screaming and yelling at each other here? Oh that's right because it's an android article with 7 comments, 2 being spammers. I guess the 15 people that bought a xoom are excited about this...YIPPEE!!!!! 4G in LIMITED AREAS WOOHOO! And if you say you have great 4g coverage please stfu because the other 14 users of the xoom are still getting 3g. But hey, it has flash ;)

I'm still kicking around the idea of picking up the Xoom on LTE or Galaxy 10.1 Wifi or Transformer. Lots of choices which is nice but I'm not sure which is my favorite.

i'm hearing 6 day turn around on the xoom upgrade. not too bad including shipping time.
