A Xoom owner got a email about being in a pilot program for the LTE upgrade before all Verizon Xoom owners get the chance to have some 4G goodness. The email has instructions to back up all your data and to only send the Xoom and not any cables, cases or accessories.

You will get a FedEx box in the mail in order to ship your Xoom free of charge to Verizon and Motorola.

SketchBook Express is an application developed for Honeycomb devices for you to sketch out pictures as elaborate as you want them to be.

I love using the app even though I am no artist. It works especially well when combined with a capacitive stylus.

When I use the app I end up feeling like such an artist. All of the different kinds of brushes make everything I draw look amazing.

Read what the developers have to say about the app below.

Motorola Mobility was acquired yesterday by Google. What does that mean for the Motorola Xoom and future tablets from Motorola/Google? None of the news is bad.

The main reason that Google purchased Motorola Mobility was for its extensive patent portfolio to defend Android from Microsoft, Oracle, and Apple. Other Android partners have released official statements claiming to be happy about the merger because Google will be able to better defend Android for them. At the same time these manufacturers hope that Motorola will not receive special treatment and get builds of Android early. Google claims that this will not happen and Motorola Mobility will remain a separate entity and treated the same as the rest of the Android manufacturers.

Now that Motorola Mobility is under Google’s reigns, we can expect continued support for the Motorola Xoom for quite some time. This part is just conjecture, but logically Google will want the Motorola Xoom to succeed.

RSS Feeds are all over the internet, practically every website has one. It is the best way to see when your favorite sites post new stories or articles instead of refreshing each websites page. Applications that show all of your RSS Feeds are called RSS Readers. This week’s App of the Week is an RSS Reader called Feedly.

Feedly is like many other RSS Readers out there, but it has two things going for it. The first thing is that it is free! Second is that the design is intuitive and beautifully simple.

The app will show all of your unread RSS Feeds in a myriad of different layouts. Though it is not as cool as Flipboard which is currently only available on the iPad. Here is hoping it will come to Android.

You can sync Feedly with your existing Google Reader account or use the app by adding your own feeds. Might I suggest adding XoomHQs.com’s feed to stay up to date on the Motorola Xoom?

You can download Feedly today from the Android Market for free. Enjoy elegant RSS Feeds on your tablet!

Could Motorola and Verizon already be preparing for a Xoom 2 launch? A Verizon ad that aired in June leads myself and countless others to believe so. The ad shows a lady blowing up her house with a tablet (not really but that is what it seems like). Then at the end it shows an unannounced Honeycomb tablet speculated to be the Xoom 2.

It is far to early for a replacement for the Xoom to be released even though better chipsets are nearly ready for tablets like the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core CPU. November is probably the earliest Motorola can release a new Xoom without angering early adopters. What do you think?

Apple’s lawyers have been really busy lately. They have attacked Samsung in just about every country because the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S infringed on their patents (according to them). There was some merit to those cases, but now Apple is going after the Xoom which is completely ridiculous. Apple is trying to intimidate all the other tech companies so that they can sell their iPad with no competition. Hopefully the courts laugh at Apple and throw this case out.
