I am not thrilled about paying an extra $200 for the 3G/Wifi version of the Xoom, but am leaning in that direction given how long it has taken Samsung to deliver a Wifi only Galaxy Tab. That said, one of the things that may hold me back is who will be providing the OS updates.
Verizon is notorious for being slow at distributing updates (I believe Motorola finalized the Froyo code months before VZW pushed it to the Droids). Motorola seems a bit quicker, but will they be pushing the updates to all Xooms, or just the Wifi Xooms? Given that they have committed to bringing some version of Blur to the Xoom and this is a first version OS, I expect updates to come frequently in the beginning. I can't imagine Google would be providing the updates, but that may be possible given this is a pure Google device, initially.
Have we heard anything about this yet?
