Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi Gets Android 3.2 Honeycomb Update

Tweet

Earlier reports suggested that Motorola might be releasing another update to its Xoom tablet soon after Android 3.1 was released. Shortly after Google released 3.2, another Xoom update is being rolled out.

Motorola’s Xoom Android update brings some functionalities that Xoom users would be thankful for. First, there’s the long-awaited support for the Xoom’s microSD card slot. While the hardware had been present since the first Xoom release, the slot was non-functional until the release of Honeycomb 3.1 to some markets. This 3.2 update provides microSD support to all Xoom users (not only for European users, where 3.1 was first released).

Secondly, the update gives users full-screen stretching or zooming for applications originally designed for smartphones. With this, you can do away with the ugly interface, with smartphone apps only appearing as a small window with a black background.

The Motorola Xoom comes with a 10.1 inch 1280×800 capacitive touchscreen, dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset running at 1GHz and 32GB of storage. The Xoom is actually the first Honeycomb tablet out to market and it seems Motorola is giving the Xoom a refresh with the recent 3.1 update and now 3.2.
