I wanted to know whether Telstra will ship the Xoom with the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
If you will ship with 3.0 at launch, when is the update likely to happen?
Did you get an answer to this question – I’d really like to know too!
Yes, but when is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Xperia Play coming out?
I’m trying to find where I can purchase a replacement charger for my Zoom Tablet. Local shop at Helensvale Ald no longer stocks these accessories – only has stock of Xoom2 accessories.
