UK Motorola Xoom Android 3.1 Update Rolling Out
August 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Motorola Xoom users in the UK are beginning to get the Android 3.1 update pushed out over the air. The new update is for Xoom 3G owners and is a little different from the Android 3.1 that rolled out to Xoom users earlier this year.
If you remember yesterday, US users of the Motorola Xoom got the Android 3.2 update which only added a small set of features to the device. So why does the UK only get 3.1? Well, 3.1 is different to the 3.1 seen earlier this year in the US in that microSD card support has been added in 3.1 although some features from 3.2 are missing.

When you boot up (which takes a few seconds), you log in to your Google account and when that is done, you get all your documents, images and email no matter which device running Chrome OS you log in to. By making it cloud based, a stolen laptop wouldn’t be too much of an issue as your data would be safe and all your documents would be available from a new computer.

Amazon could be using two-finger touch technology when it launches its first tablet devices. The reasons for this are due to cost savings.
