Now if Verizon would get their butts in gear and push ANY Jelly Bean update to the LTE version! I shouldn’t need to root a Google device for updates.

It’s holding it’s value too, like averages $200 with wifi & JB on ebay.

I love seeing these updates to the old warhorse Xoom. It makes it SO much easier to blacklist certain companies such as Asus and Sony who refuse to support their devices to JB that are otherwise identical (or better, in some other cases) in specs to the Xoom, especially wi-fi tablets. In many ways, the Xoom was the first and only “nexus” device to really trump everything else on the market spec-wise when it launched.

What a shame the GED Xoom line did not continue. If they had made it thinner/lighter, added an IPS screen and given it the abiliity to charge over microUSB, it’d still be a superb device even today. Moto did all of those things on the Family Edition and Xyboards, but those were ruined with Blur and having LTE versions promoted over wi-fi versions.

I have it on my vzw gn and I thought the signal improvement was a function of my vodka consumption….good to know it might actually be reaL

Agreed. It’s on the heavier side than some out there, but I haven’t had one regret from buying this tablet.

I just got 4.1.2 update for my Galaxy Nexus. Think they are rolling out now. So far, I’ve noticed my signal strength is better, and not dropping.

Gotta love the Xoom. Whether it is branded or not, it was the first Nexus tab

Well since Google updates the Verizon Xoom as well, maybe this means our update from Google is coming soon. Hopefully VZW won’t need an additional 2 months to test this update considering that it’s such a minor update, and the fact that VZW has had the 4.1.1/JRO03H update to play with since early August. Ugh. Owning a VZW Xoom is very frustrating.
