Any one else have one? I just got it and very very impressed.

**Sazar** · March 11th, 2011

My friend has one and it is a very nice device.

The OS still needs some fine-tuning, but overall it is a solid device.

**Aprox** · March 23rd, 2011

I picked one up about a week or so ago, I'm really like it so far. As Sazar said, the Android 3.0 OS still needs some fine tuning. Also app developers need to update their apps to support the larger form factor (or stop crashes) but over overall I'm happy.

Have either of you rooted them? (not sure if custom ROMs are out for the Xoom yet ...)

**Aprox** · March 23rd, 2011

I've not rooted mine yet, simply because there doesn't seem to be much reason to do so right now. I'm keeping an eye on the dev threads over at XDA though. As soon as the juicy bits start showing up for rooted Xoom's I'll likely jump right on it. I've not seen any actual custom Xoom FW yet, just custom kernels for OC, etc.

Yea I am stuck right now between the Atrix or the XOOM. Depending on when Telus gets both of them. Should end up being the XOOM though.

Can't wait. I am a Android fanboy now I think.

Just picked up mine today and its awesome.

Any sugestions on apps for it, I installed some games and the two app I know support it.

Still awesome!

**Aprox** · April 10th, 2011

Just go to the market and check out the tablet specific applications. There is a nice RSS reader app, games, etc.

**Bman** · April 11th, 2011

Yea I don't have a section for Tablet.

In the web or XOOM version of the market. I think it's only for certain locations right now.

**Aprox** · April 14th, 2011

Launch the market app from your Xoom. If you scroll down on the homepage of the market there should be a "tablet" specific app section you can select.

I'd list off a few apps, but I can't recall their names right this second. If I remember when I get home from work I'll list a few of my personal favorites.

**Terrahertz** · May 23rd, 2011

I'm tempted to get this device.

ericlenhard · June 16th, 2011

Great device! But I still want an iPad for Djing.

indybail · June 21st, 2011

I know a couple of folks with one. One really is into it, the other other not so much but still a thumbs up.

**Bman** · June 26th, 2011

So the 3.1 update for the XOOM has been released for all other areas. Still have not got mine updated, stupid Canada lol
