    Ugg, this past weekend we had a about a 5hr car ride. My Wife's bag was next to my the bag which contained my xoom in the trunk. A can of her aerosol spray sunscreen must have gone off and both of our bags and clothes where saturated with the sunscreen... No biggie here as everything could...

    The more i read about the issue on the internet the more it sounds like a problem with captive portal and the xoom hardware *sigh* I really hope that isnt the case.

    I have a buddy in the office with a xoom fe (wifi only) and he has the same issue. Another coworker has an ipad and she connects to the same network with no problems. Given the other topics on xoom wifi issues its looking like this is a hardware issue (or hopefully a setting on the xoom)...

    Wall charger

    I got the speaker dock from them. I was originally 89.99 and is now 19.99. I ended up buying 3 as i needed one for home and the office as well. If you by 5 items at a verizon store the consider it a "bundle" and you get 30% off. The docks came out to be about 14 bucks.
