Post-Ice Cream Sandwich, Motorola Xoom now randomly shuts itself off after a period of non-use.
details
Ever since getting the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade a little while ago, my Xoom randomly shuts itself (or just becomes non-responsive); forcing me to have to do a hard reboot to bring it back online.
Perfect example is last night. I was using it for 3 hours on my couch, responding to email, downloading some new games and playing a few with some friends. I set it down and go to the bathroom. When I came back 10 minutes later, it wouldn't power on.
I haven't seen anyone else online complain about this... Read more →

How will the Kindle Fire change the way we look at tablet pricing?
details
So far I love my Kindle Fire beyond belief. In addition everyone I show loves it too and they go wild once they find out the $199 price tag on the unit. Many people who otherwise would have ignored tablets are running out to get one of these little multimedia bad boys. Amazon brought a well built and beautiful UI version of Android to the market. How do you think this will change the way people look at other tablets? Already when I look at similar sized tablets (Lenovo $250, B&N $250, etc..)... Read more →

Is there anyone who was thinking of buying an iPad, PlayBook, or Honeycomb tablet who bought a TouchPad instead?
details
I ask because it seems like most people buying these super cheap TouchPads either already have a tablet or weren't really in the market for one anyway. Seems like relatively few people are buying one instead of another tablet that they were intending to purchase (though obviously that must be the case for at least some people).

Where do you use your tablets most often?
details
I find myself using my iPad most often in the bathroom.. Especially when I'm taking a bath ... Am I crazy? I also own a kindle and I do use it in the bath a lot, but not as often.. Needless to say that I have protective sleeves for both. (Or u can use those zip bags. I find they work quite well too.) Now, how I wish there's something that would allow me to take these gadgets into the sauna! Hahahah!

Anyone still on 3.0.1?
details
I'm a little staggered. I expected Motorola would roll out at least 3.1 in the time an acquaintance had the Xoom (he ended up giving it back to me because as he said and I agree to a large extent, 'I can't use this, sorry'). Apparently not. So what, three months after Motorola apparently started rollout of 3.1 there's still no sign of it on this particular machine. It's not like 3.0.1 is a fully-baked OS either - in fact, I'd be more inclined to say that in many ways it's not even half-baked... Read more →

My Xoom's music player refuses to play songs stored on the tablet's internal memory.
details
Two days ago I decided to move the content on my phone to my Xoom, namely pictures and music, by swapping MicroSD cards and copying the data from the card onto the device. The music player worked well while the card was still in the slot, but now that I have removed it every song gives me an Error: File can not be read. Any ideas on how to fix this? I shall try to remove the data and copy it onto the tablet using the USB cable, will update with the results.

Looking for a Tablet computer that I can keep writing long hand?
details
I am looking at getting a tablet computer. The one thing I would like to do is be able to use some sort of writing device and software where I can write using my long hand and replace the tablets of paper that I use know. Is there a tablet out there that is best for this use. It is something I like to do with my first drafts of story writing.
