It looks like you need a pretty ugly device to convert the Tab's 30pin connector to USB Host mode: Silhouette-spoiling USB host adapter arrives for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 -- Engadget

My work uses Citrix Access Gateway which works surprisingly well on a Xoom with a BT keyboard and mouse so my Xoom has replaced my corporate laptop in most cases when I need to quickly login (less than 2min) to check mail or do light work. My laptop takes about 8min to boot, login and connect...

Try rebooting. It seems to work for me... I have the same problem with the Motorola Xoom BT keyboard and Logitech V470 BT mouse. Whatever connects first seems to maintain control... it's like the 2 signals are stepping on each other. Let us know if that resolves the problem.

If you or your family (other FaceTime users) are part of the Apple ecosystem (iTouch, iPhone, Mac), get an iPad. If you refuse to pray at the Apple mosque or you love to tinker with your shat, get a Honeycomb tablet. My arse is still a little chapped by no SD card support on Xoom, no fold out...

Keep your socks on... it was 3 weeks before I got my Droid Incredible 2.2 update.... act like you're waiting for Adobe Flash update, LTE upgrade, SD Card support or for developers to write more Honeycomb apps.

I got my Google Music invite after I went into the updated Music app settings and hit "Connect to Music Beta using <my Gmail acct>". When I exited the Music app, the beta invite appeared in my Gmail account. I'm not sure if they are related, but it's worth a shot. As far as "How Google knows...

I just got my 3.1 update on my Verizon Xoom.

I would be more impressed if this added an SD card slot, USB ports and a 3000 mAH battery, but it's just another ho-hum case. Somebody wake me when Motorola gets creative and makes innovative accessories.

+1 for Rockplayer... it plays standard definition .avi's like a champ. No HD .mkv's yet tho.

AndroZip File Manager works like a champ for me. Besides all the basic file mgmnt stuff, it can decompress archives and install apk's.

I recommend Rockplayer for SD video until the VLC guys port to Android. For HD video, you're SOL until someone writes for the Tegra hardware decoder. Welcome to the first adopters club. Please have a seat over here until develoers can catch up with this beautiful device. :-)

I'm interested in a 'mouse' app too. My co-worker is running Citrix desktop on his iPad with his iTouch as a mouse, and I would love to trump his config with my XOOM.

I got my OTA update last night.

1. Move the charge/sync ports to the side, and keep the charging leads on the bottom for the docks 2. Enable charging through the micro-USB (perhaps with a dual USB cable). How freaking stupid was that design choice? 3. Do something smarter with the volume buttons 4. Stronger WiFi antenna -...

If your need for a tablet is constrained to apps, books, and music, stay in the Apple ecosystem. But if you want to do MORE than Apple thinks you should, you love customizing your device, and you are patient enough for the Android tablet apps to catch up, this is the device for you. I gave my...
