Hey Verizon-based Motorola XOOM owners, it looks like the 4.0.4 OTA is rolling out to one and all at this point. The 107mb update finally brings Ice Cream Sandwich to Verizon’s LTE version of the XOOM. If you can't wait another minute for some frozen dessert goodness, it's being reported that you can force the update by heading into your settings menu and going to “apps”. If you select the “all” tab you will see “Google Services Framework”. Force stop it and click “Clear Data” and head back out to check for an update.
This usually works after the first or second try, but be warned that it may also initially remove your device from the web-based Play Store interface. You’ll still be able to download and update apps from your tablet, but you may have to wait several hours for the web portal to see your device (if you really like perusing the Play Store on the web this may factor into how patient you want to be while waiting for the update).
