Sweet! Any scoop on what to expect??

 

[Drew2u]

Curious where you heard/read there would be an update released tonight.

And are you talking about individual apps that would be pushed, or an incremental OS update?

Also, is it a staggered release, or all Xooms at once will get it?

I did say I was curious.

From moto's official Twitter account:

"Motorola Xoom update rolling out in phases starting tonight & includes required enhancements to support upcoming Adobe Flash 10.2."

If it was anyone else you would probably get flamed! Thanks for the heads up!

And so begins the update threads for the Xoom.

What is moto's twitter?

Edit: Found it -subscribed

Do I have to turn on my 3g or will it update over my wifi?

Should update fine over wifi considering some Xoom owners don't have a data plan.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with any update, but I hate these updates to prepare for updates. I get these all the time on my ps3.

Now the question is whether to wait until I feel like updating or unroot and accept it.

Per the Motorola Forums:

"We are happy to announce that an over-the-air update to the Motorola XOOM software will start rolling out in phases tonight to all Motroola XOOM owners on the Verizon Wireless network.

You can receive the update over a 3G or a WiFi connection. If you are not connected via WiFi or 3G, or your Motorola XOOM is off when the notification arrives, you will see the notification when you next connect to a wireless network.

If you have unlocked/rooted your Motorola XOOM, you must restore it to the standard software load and relock your device to receive the notification. Owners who have unlocked/rooted can find more information here in the Motorola Xoom unlock / non-standard area of Motorola Owners' Forums"

Eh, lame or not... it's "progress", right?

It gets us a step closer to having Flash, and beyond that, we now have confirmation that we can self-install Flash the moment it's in the market. We won't have to wait for another push from Motorola...

 

[preViously]

You are right Drew2u, it is progress. Hopefully the rest will follow shortly too.

 

[jayblazer]

I have had flash in my apps list since I got the xoom. So hopefully I can run it as soon as the update completes..

 

[erzhik]

any update on any device (not just android) is always good news. I'd rather have lame and short updates rather than no updates at all. That means company is working hard on their OS.

 

[lchute1158]

Anybody get the update yet?

 

[JZambrano]

Nope. I guess ill have by the time wake up

 

[erzhik]

Anybody get the update yet?

I would guess probably midnight PDT.

 

[terrain]

No update yet. They say flash dl in the android market details to follow shortly.... hopefully this equates to soon. The apple heads will not be happy.

 

[Drew2u]

I checked Settings, About Tablet, System Updates before midnight and it reported I was up to date, with last check at 1:15 pm. Now that it's after midnight it says it last checked March 10. Anyone know how frequently it checks for updates?

I don't see a way to manually check from Settings, but I did try rebooting to see if that would force a check... it didn't. Oh well, sleep is taking over so maybe I'll wake to find the Xoom Fairy visited overnight!
