The Motorola Xoom Finally Gets SD Card Expension
The Motorola Xoom, a most talked about tablet due to its powerful Tegra 2 processor and Android 3.0 Hneycomb OS was built with an SD card slot, but for some reason is unable to read SD cards. This silly problem has now been solved thanks to a group of third party developers that have released a custom software kernel – the Tiamat kernel – that enables the tablet’s SD card slot. This is rather impressive as the developers have managed to release the software before Motorola have even released their official SD card patch, and it was all done without the Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb source code. If you’re a lucky Xoom owner then you can enable your tablet’s SD card slot from the download available at the xda-developers forum where there’s also the instructions – but like always, be cautious when flashing custom software.

Ah the ol’ if you want things done, do it yourself.
Played with the XOOM for about fifteen minutes now and it is pretty nice though not sure about paying $599+tax.
The screen is ok however the colours can be a bit washed out if not viewing pretty close to directly on.
Oh wow, nice! How did you find Honeycomb? I’ve yet to experience it…
