IPv6 Support :)

I know this isn't really "Xoom" specific per say, but thought it was pretty cool to find Verizon with IPv6 with the LTE network. Last night I was playing around with my Xoom and noticed a second IPv6 address that wasn't in my home range. Looked it up and said it's a Verizon range. Doing some further digging looks like Verizon added IPv6 support for their LTE network. VERY cool Didn't notice this before the LTE upgrade, but I assume if the kernel supports it, the Wifi units must also be capable of IPv6.

Not sure what you're saying here.

You're happy because they used the latest version of the protocol? I'd be shocked if they didn't.

Is there some angle I'm missing?

No angle, just think it's pretty cool I didn't realize Android finally supports IPv6 (my other device is an OG Droid so no IPv6 there I don't think.) Then to see Verizon is fully supporting it on the LTE network is great to see as well. I'm not sure if the Xoom came with this supported with 3.1 or later updates. Again in any event just happy to see it. I'm not sure how many people know or don't realize it's there.
