Motorola Xoom gets Android 4.0.5 ICS update

The Android ICS update was rolled out for Motorola Xoom tablets in January itself. Now, the Wi-Fi version of the tablet is getting the 4.0.5 update. Android ICS already made its presence in the Galaxy Nexus and Zync X990 tablets. The good news is that this update is pushed by Motorola and not by Google. So it might have fixes for the minor bugs. This update is not for all the devices.

 

Users who are part of the Motorola Feedback network have more chances to get it first for their Xoom devices. The improvements that are available in this new update are listed below.

 

Updated browser with fast zooming, panning and rendering. Users can save pages for offline reading and also request the desktop versions of the websites.
