Motorola DROID XYBOARD 8.2 with Verizon getting OTA soon, ICS Baby

Verizon looks to be putting out an update for the Motorola DROID XYBOARD 8.2 soon. They just released update documents to their support page listing off the new details of an Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update. Good news for you guys out there with one of these tablets. They never mention when the update will go live, but usually it happens shortly after the update docs get posted.

Also, with this upgrade, your device will now run on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Here are some of the key updates with this operating system:
+ Includes the latest Motorola USB driver to allow Xyboard to connect to a computer to transfer files.
+ Securely refresh your Corporate Email account with the native email client.
+ Faster Browsing Experience
+ Improved network connectivity

As usual, they also outline a few things to know about the the update file itself. On Wi-Fi it could take 20 to 30 minutes to download, it is approximately 299.2MB’s. Once it has completed and starts to install, you won’t be able to use the tablet for about 10 minutes during the install. No big deal really. We assume you should also have well over 50% battery charge on the device before you try to install the update as well. You sure as heck don’t want the battery to die mid flash.

We will keep our eyes peeled for reports of it arriving, on its own, but you can always check outÂ Settings > About tablet > System updates and see if you can get to pull through early. No promises there though.
