Sweet.

The BT mouse feature is a good one.

Using a BT keyboard but then reaching up to touch the screen seemed a little awkward the one time I tried out a keyboard.

So that's a Verizon update? Or is that just where it's being advertised?

I think that's just where its first spotted.....should be for all xooms..but don't quote me on that just yet....

I'm interested in this line: "View and import pictures from digital cameras with Picture Transfer Protocol."

I wonder if a USB OTG cable adapter will be officially sold to support this feature.

NO mention of enabling the SD card slot. What is the problem with Motorola/Google? If, XDA can enable it, I'm missing something. Maybe they need to hire more expertise!

Sounds like a nice update. My calendar widget has never fully worked correctly.

Sure it's enabled, but there are still plenty of bugs that Moto/Google wouldn't want to release with their fix.

I do hope they realise the importance of the SD slot

If such a feature would work with cameras, is there any reason you couldn't just plug in a regular flash drive?

Glad to see moto and Verizon are still working to improve the xoom now we just need the SD card fixed.

 

[coolpher]

I can't wait for tomorrows update but...

But I can't wait for The LTE 4G upgrade the 90 days from launch window is almost here lets hope Motorola and Google keep to there word

 

[Super_Mario]

I didn't see anything in there for the SD card either. Dammit.

 

[crashybear]

Dang it - my Xoom has around 3Gb free space left - I was very much hoping to get the SD card enabled with the next update so I can use my 32Gb, still-in-the-packaging microsd card.

Just wow. Motorola and Google take the crown for weirdness of 2011.

True. I also prefer a card reader for transferring photos from my CF and SD cards. However I was thinking of the iPad camera connection kit. Comes with a [iPad to USB] or [iPad to card] adapter. Reviews: Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit | iLounge

This looks to be the equivalent on the Xoom. But how are they expecting customer to interface to a micro USB slot? Could this be USB Host feature masquerading as a photo transfer feature?

 

[Vudumedic]

Does the mention of application storage errors mean that some of the memory leaks we have been fighting are being plugged?

Here's an article that was just posted less than an hour ago on ZDNet...

UK users will get the update in a few months no doubt but nothing in there to be comping at the bit for.
