Motorola Xyboard WiFi, Verizon 4G models get Android 4.0 updates

[![Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2 review home screen][1] ][2]

If you've embraced Motorola's vision of tablets warmly enough to have picked up a [Xyboard 8.2][3] or 10.1, your loyalty is being rewarded. Both the WiFi versions and Verizon's [Droid Xyboard][4] variants should be receiving their Android 4.0 updates starting now, with everyone onboard over the course of the weeks ahead. Don't anticipate a [Droid RAZR-style][5] visual revamp: much like Google's regular jump from Android 3.2 to 4.0, the changes involve subtler components like the improved built-in browser and Face Unlock. The release is no [Jelly Bean update][6], but we'd still call it a big step forward for fans of sharply-angled slabs.
