Just bought a Zoom

Hi, I just bought a xoom today and so far am loving it. Is there anything I should know about the xoom? Any problems?(I know about the SD card)
What are some good Tablet apps in the market?
I have a nexus one currently, so I know how to use the xoom. I live up in Canada and I bought the wifi only version, its on android 3.01, is there a release date for 3.1 in Canada?
Thanks alot

Apps:
- Thumb keyboard (Must Have!)
- Tweetcaster HD
- Zinio
- Nook
- Kindle App
- File Manager HD
- Quick Office Pro HD
- Google Docs
- Opera Mobile (although no Flash support yet)
Games:
- Samurai II: Vengeance

That should be enough to get you started. Although unlocking and flashing one of the custom OCing kernals helps make this beast fly. 3.1 helps too!

If you haven't already, check out all of the threads in the Xoom forums (and go back a few pages to find some hidden goodies). The Xoom is great out of the box, especially with the 3.1 upgrade, but really comes alive with the Team Tiamat customizations. As a Canadian WiFi you can update to the US version using BRD's version (in Xoom Development) without any problems.
Please note, when you unlock your bootloader, make sure to never try to re-lock...it will brick your Xoom for sure.
Good luck!

Actually, I saw a perfect thread for you to do the updating you are looking to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093112
So, please note the following:
1. You will find the instructions that worked on his post # 7
2. There is an updated version of the Solarnz's CWM Recovery (3.2.0.0) and a newer Tiamat kernel (1.4.4) and even a new ROM, but I would start with what is in the instructions above as they are known to work and are stable.
Please also, don't update in CWM Rom Manager to the newest listed Xoom recovery (4.0.0.x)...it's broken and will mess you up. Just stick with the instructions above and you'll do fine.

Apps:
Pulse
Music*
XDA premium app (of course)
Beautiful Widgets
Angry Birds
Fruit Ninja
Its also a smart idea to set up a Google account to sync everything. Its nearly seamless. Google music is only in beta but it works well for me.

Gameloft Games(only avable at Gameloft.com...mostly):
- Spider-Man HD
- Hero of Sparta HD

I suggest fpse and to install tiamat kernel for smooth consistent 60 fps if you want to play ps1 games.

Wow, never knew the xoom had a rom. Thanks for the apps guys. Ill probably root it later on, I want to get used to it stock before I go changing things.

in order to realise your xooms full potential, I strongly suggest rooting and flashing either just tiamats kernal or the new room all located in the developer section. You'll notice right away coming from stock the vast improvements with snappyness, responsiveness, and overall a better running machine. It definitely becomes an I pad killer once unleashed.

I'd say yes, they are 100% compatible with the XPlay. Why can I say that? Because the Xplay is Playstation Certified and it's already been announced long ago that Playstation Suite games will be playable on all PS Certified devices (Xplay, Sony Tablets, etc) as well as the Vita.
While it's possible though that some games on there could be Vita exclusives, if they are playable on PS Certified devices, they'll be playable on the XPlay. No question.
I just hope they change the launch lineup of games for the west, I'm not sure how popular Magical Dice Kids and Dig a-dig Pukka would be outside of Japan. Some more recognisable Playstation brands might be an idea.

Um, Google Translate knows how to read Japanese... Even better than I do.

That list has already been to japanese xperia play for long time if you all didn't know.
I have the japanese playstation store apk and the games are much more than that.
(Wild Arms 2,Alundra,etc)
Just go to sony erricson japan ->xperia play website,and you will see all of them,include the upcoming games (devil may cry refrain)

It's sad that there are hundreds of dollars worth of apps for free, but that is STILL not enough to make me instantly install the Amazon Appstore... :silly:

Also, note that many apps contain free amazon coins when you install it. I've gathered about $20 of amazon credit till now from free apps

Can't even get Amazon coins in Australia, lol. Already have Root Explorer too.

Thanks. I've been waiting to pick up Plex.

All of these apps check to see if amazon store is installed and logged in to your account. If amazon app store is uninstalled or not logged in these apps won't work. So keep that in mind...
