I woke up to find that the Android 3.2 update was ready to install. That’s a great way to wake up!
I had ripped a copy of my Inception DVD and placed it on my new 32 gigabyte SD card in preparation earlier this week. It played like a champ!
I’ve also removed six 99 Most Essential albums (purchased from Amazon) from the internal Xoom storage and placed them onto the SD card. It took a 2-3 minutes for Android to index the 6.46 gigabytes (700 files) of music, but it soon showed up under albums and New/Recent songs.
I’ll be testing the stability over the next week to see how smoothly it goes, but I am very happy at the moment.
Combining the 32 gigabytes of internal storage + the 32 gigabyte SD card finally gives Xoomers 64 gigabytes of storage, but if you think forward a bit more, technically this gives you unlimited storage after purchasing additional SD cards. In my opinion, this is a major advantage over IOS devices.
Android 3.2 on the way: Welcome SD Card Slot!
0I’ve seen reference in several articles that Android 3.2 is on the way. Apparently the wifi only models will be receiving the update first, so it may still be several weeks.
I’ve went ahead and ordered a 64gb micro SD card in preperation and will eventually buy a second one. I really can’t wait until we have essentially unloaded storage! I may use one for the majority of my music and put video on a second card.
