It should be noted that this is only for WiFi Xooms at this time.

wow, the xoom just got SD card support?

and what about actual technical changes, like hardware acceleration and what not? 3.2 bring any of that?

Hardware acceleration was brought in at 3.1, however, it is slightly improved in this release. This is mostly a small update to bring SD card support and the app zoom ability.

i am more talking about full hardware acceleration ala iOS and WP7. panning and zooming can be slow as on my transformer every once in a while.

As we already know, Android 3.2 will bring the official support for 7 inch display devices, and it will be the last Honeycomb update before Google releases Ice Cream Sandwich.

Android 3.2 also brings support for Qualcomm processor in addition to nVIDIA Tegra 2, which many reports suggested as the reference processor for Honeycomb. This change is quite obvious, otherwise MediaPad would have never got Android 3.2, as it runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz dual core processor.

Apart from all these changes, Android 3.2 brings bug fixes, better hardware acceleration, updates to Movie Studio, Movies, Music and widgets. Not many changes, but it still brings one of the most important changes to Honeycomb in the form of 7 inch support.

Thanks for the update file, but can you provide more information? Don't get me wrong, but i'm a bit wary of a file coming from your own server with just "update" listed.

Reason I ask, I've got a customer with one and it needs updating, but haven't heard anything through official channels about it (yet).

It's got 3G in it, if that makes a difference?

Okay, thanks for the mention. I'll wait to see what comes down the official channels.

Yep, you'll want to wait until the 3G version is released. It should be available for download from Google's website shortly after it starts rolling out OTA. Then if he's got an OTG USB cable, it's just a matter of putting it on a USB stick, plugging it in, and rebotting into recovery to flash the file. Otherwise he can just wait until he gets prompted for the OTA update.

Let me understand this, are you saying when google releases ICS, I would be able to install it on my current tablet (asus eee pad)?

No, Google only releases updates for Google Experience Devices. For other devices you need to wait for your manufacturer to push out the bloatware full versions for your specific device. (Or you can root and do whatever you want ;))

most times this is due to each manufacturer wanting to tweak it specifically for their device or to add their own twist on the UI (HTC sence UI or Motorola Blur*no longer called this*)

From what i have seen Asus does not put bloatware on any of their devices Android or otherwise, (which is a VERY good thing)

One of the reasons I got the xoom rather than waiting for other devices is because it was a Google Development Platform which means I always get a stock experience. As far as phones I anymore it is getting difficult to see that. I am currently waiting on the Galaxy S 2 to be released in the US and then I will put CM7 on it as that is what I am running on my OG Droid at the moment.

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
