Wi-Fi-Equipped Xoom Tablets Snarf Down OTA Ice Cream Sandwich Update
When the weather gets cold and the skies turn grey, we usually get a hankering for something warm to eat. Hot cocoa, anyone? But our tummies are rumbling for something a bit cooler in these early days of winter: delicious Android-flavored Ice Cream Sandwich. Just last week, Asus’ Transformer Prime received the new OS, and now, an oldie-but-goodie is getting in on the action: the Motorola Xoom.
No, not the as-yet-released Xoom 2 – pardon us, the Xyboard. Slashgear reports that this over the air update (which bears the name “IML77”) is targeted for the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi tablets alone. Interestingly, the unreleased Xyboard still rocks Honeycomb, giving it the dubious distinction of sporting an OS that’s older than its older sibling’s.
In any case, the update should be available now for U.S. Xoom owners. No word yet on an update for international or 4G Xoom tablets.
