    Incipio Silicrylic Case Review

    Nope, unfortunately it doesn't. I think that should be more clearly stated on the Incipio site. It's a nice case, but now I'm back to having to use that PITA flimsy power cable *and* find a place to put the bloody Xoom when I'm not using it. So, it's far from an ideal solution.

    Hope Incipio makes a case for the Xoom..

    Darn thing doesn't work with the stock, non-HD stand. Bummer. It looks nice and is functional, but now I'm back to using the annoying power cable instead of the stand. When the Incipio site suggests the plugs/ports are fully accessible, I would put an asterisk there.

    Best remote desktop app for Xoom?

    Looks like Citrix has done their thing and updated their receiver client. Citrix Receiver on Honeycomb ? ocb - Citrix Community Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have made it to the market yet. :(

    What case/cover are you waiting for?

    Fossil Sleeve Just got my Fossil Dayton Tablet Sleeve ($40). It's very class and looks nice. I got black. It fits very snuggly, but not too tight. There's no stand and there's no extra storage. There's only minimal protection against impact, but will protect against abrasion. I would recommend...

    Expanded Xoom commercial

    Saw a cool Xoom ad on SportsCenter today. Showed a space flight sim with plenty of shooting. I want that game.

    Outlook sync without the cloud?

    While I apreciate the option, a goal is to limit personal info out of the cloud. I don't want friends' information out there. So, I'm admitting I've got a tinfoil hat, but want to protect their info. I also want to keep my calendar out of the cloud, as it may have confidential information in it.

    Outlook sync without the cloud?

    Should I leave Office 2003 to be able to sync? I'm still using Office 2003, but if someone said Office 2007 or 2010 could sync while 2003 cannot, I'd consider upgrading the office suite. I need to stick with office due to compatibility with office at work. I'd love to use OpenOffice or...

    Outlook sync without the cloud?

    I was using MyPhoneExplorer for my Droid 2 Global, but it doesn't work for the Xoom, as I cannot find the client in the Market. Any thoughts on sync'ing with the Xoom? I don't want to go through GMail and the cloud. Until I lose my tinfoil hat, I don't want to have my data that far out of my...

    Turn off 3G/4G radio? Roaming charges?

    Cool, thanks! Guess this goes into the bin of my many obvious questions. Hope no one is keeping tabs. Anyone have any idea about roaming charges or where I should look?

    Turn off 3G/4G radio? Roaming charges?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the 3G/4G radio? I know I can suspend 3G service by calling Verizon, but I'm curious if we can control the radio from our devices. I want to keep the service active, but I want to limit the unintentional use of the 3G/4G radio in the event that my WiFi access...

    What case/cover are you waiting for?

    Some options... In short, I couldn't find any real Xoom cases out yet besides the gel and the suboptimal manufacturer version. Other choices I looked into: Sena Cases (888-736-2872) -- 'give it a month'. She said to watch their Facebook page for the most up-to-date information. I've used...

    Movies -- can't play mpg file

    This will probably be one of "stupid question of the day" moments, but I can't find a way to view MPG movie files. YouTube video files work fine, as do video files recorded by the on-device camera. I wouldn't have been surprised if QuickTime, WMV, and RealPlayer movies didn't work without a...

    Charging indicator and Notification LED

    I can confirm this. I didn't think to try turning off the tablet. My light does work when the unit is off, but I can't say I'll ever actually turn this thing off. So, hopefully a software update will address this.
