got my youtube and google books working!

[Berry me a G]

Youtube and google books never worked on my wifi xoom out of the box nor after several days of trying different things. I'm sure many of you are aware of this fix but I was able to get both apps working by dowloading the apk's (a basic google search for each app works fine) onto xoom. Install but do not run. reboot. You will find the files under your "all apps".
Enjoy and hope that helps someone!
