    Sharing Links on Google+

    On the desktop site you'll see a bunch of little symbols on the right of the share box. Click on the link symbol and you'll get a new box. You can paste into that one. (Tested on 3.2 just now - can't verify for earlier versions)

    3.2 for Xoom

    Other than the fix for portrait mode scrolling (which was very welcome) the only major difference I'm seeing is the music player. It's been udated to version 3.0.2 but it's a bit of a step down. They've removed all the 3D animations and the background effects are less pronounced. It's quite...

    Honeycomb 3.2 on Xoom soon?!

    As I said, that information was based solely on Huawei's initial announcement. Updated info came later in the day. So I dunno, do more reading :p

    Honeycomb 3.2 on Xoom soon?!

    It wouldn't hurt to do some reading before posting. The 7" support was just the initial information gleaned from the Huawei press release. More has been revealed and posted on numerous sites since then. The Xoom will be getting 3.2 in the next few weeks. Check this article for info: Android...

    Xoom is #1 selling tablet on Amazon.

    It's not fine. It's dull, colour reproduction is relatively poor, and there's a significant amount of ghosting when you have black images moving against lighter backgrounds (ie scrolling on white web pages with dark photos). You can see small black/blue trails left behind as it moves, like the...

    Ipad2 or xoom?

    I know what you're saying, and it's the truth when it comes to Android vs Apple phones, but I don't think it's true for tablets at the moment. It will be true in 6 months when all the bugs are gone and we have a better user experience. Personally I don't mind dealing with the issues that come...

    SwiftKey, what's your thinking of it?

    Just tried this out. Not as visually flashy as Swiftkey but I would definitely recommend it. I can see it becoming my main keyboard. The cursor arrows are so useful for editing text. And I like the way it has the secondary key functions actually written on the keys... with Swiftkey you just...

    Anyone else notice this bug?

    at I/O they said it was a problem with honeycomb running on 'specific hardware' So it's likely a combination of both. Tegra 2 might not fully support some aspects of the honeycomb code. I'm inclined to think that if this was a simple software issue it wouldn't have survived this long.

    Anyone else notice this bug?

    Afraid not, but if you Google something like 'honeycomb lag portrait mode' you should find it.

    Anyone else notice this bug?

    Hardware. It's a Tegra 2 issue. There was supposed to be a software fix/workaround in 3.1 but it didn't happen. The issue is still up on the Android bug tracker marked as fixed in a 'future release'. At this point I'm guessing that the future release will be called Tegra 3... :(

    Ipad2 or xoom?

    Has to be iPad right now, unfortunately. The Xoom isn't terrible but it is disappointing (especially the screen) and even with the latest update, Honeycomb still has a long way to go. There isn't much of a modding scene either so even if you are technically inclined (ie a geek) you won't find...

    Android tablets could outsell iPad in 3 years

    That comparison goes both ways. Obviously the iPhone/iPad can't compete with dozens of Android devices, but you also need to realise that those Android devices are also competing against each other. They have similar pricepoints, similar feature sets... it's impossible for any one of them to...

    Android tablets could outsell iPad in 3 years

    America is not the world. In most European countries the iPhone has been available on multiple carriers for a couple of years, and Android has still overtaken it. But I think 3 years is probably about right. Android needs to build brand recognition in this space and right now Apple have a...

    Good wallpapers?

    If you want a live wallpaper, Solar Winds looks great on the Xoom. Set it to Undertow in settings.

    SwiftKey, what's your thinking of it?

    The space bar could do with being taller in portrait mode. I'm always hitting b or n when I type quickly. The only other complaint I have is that it sometimes doesn't recognise a misspelled word, even if it's only off by a letter or two. Pretty good keyboard overall. Would be interested to...
