I hate Motorola for not upgrading the Xoom Family Edition and who would buy it from me if the bootloader is locked, we can’t even install custom roms, sucks.

Will I be able to get the update on my Xoom if I’m rooted?
I know how to locked it back and unroot it but I really love to have it rooted to many advantages… please let me know what you guys think..

I bought the Xoom WiFi version right after it was released last year and have never been disappointed. It’s a superior device that keeps on delivering. I depend on my Xoom every day. I also have the original Ipad but handed it over to hubby to play his games with. I prefer my Xoom.

I bought the Family Edition not knowing that it does not get updated like the non Family Edition. So I’m using Honeycomb, and everyone else can laugh at me as they walk off with Jelly Bean. #ShakesFist!

I take it you went back to stock to get the ICS OTA?

Yeah, the Xoom has been a good investment so far. Great storage space with SD card slot; nice big screen; built like a tank; decent camera; and constant system updates before the rest of the pack. Can’t wait to try the ‘Google now’ feature!

Agree, but I’m fairly certain that CM will support it for some time.

Cloud storage can’t store system settings, app configurations, game save files, etc. through a factory reset. If you don’t see the need to preserve any of those things, fine.

But I find it hard to justify looking at banner ads. First, I find that publishing “ad-free” versions with the exact same functionality otherwise is a bit of a cheap trick to get people buying apps. What happened to the good old days of shareware where it would pop up reminders to support the developer on every launch, and unlock extended functionality when you finally did? And as I already mentioned, I am paying for the bandwidth used to deliver those ads to me. It is also using (wasting) the battery on my phone.

Of course I would rather pay for an ad-free version than waste my own resources to have ads delivered to me. But if the publisher is unwilling to take advantage of that, I’m still going to maintain control over what takes up space on my phone’s screen.

The Xoom is a great tablet. I bought it the day it came out. I walked right past the best buy employee pushing the iPad 2.

all google can do is push an update to verizon, then verizon stagnates it in their system for “testing” I think we can probably hope for a leak during next month.

everything is in the cloud now, so titanium is useless to me, and if ad revenue is what allows the app to be free, why would you block it?
