[News] Motorola Xoom
The Motorola Xoom, which is a tablet, will come for sale for a wifi only at $600 and an unsubsidized version (3G capable, soon 4G) for $800. It will be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb. I believe that the Xoom is way better than the Apple iPad. The Xoom has almost a half inch bigger display (I know, not that much bigger) The Xoom has a better processor, resolution, and RAM. They both have 32GB of space, but the Xoom has an expandable SD card slot that can take a whopping 32GB, that would be 64GB of storage on that baby! Also another advantage is the Xoom has a front and rear-facing camera. 5MP in the rear and 2MP in the front. Now to wait and find out what our fabulous developers can come up with and hack this bad boy!
[Info] Droid X camera gallery FC (Force close)
Ever have your phone's gallery open for a second and close a second later? Well it is usually caused by a corrupt file. First, go to Settings>Appications>Manage>Find the Gallery and clear the data. See if that works, if not. Download a third party app from the Android Market like "3D Gallery" for free and delete any pictures that don't show up with a picture, you can't open, or don't remember taking a picture of. Usually that solves the problem.

[How to] Use Z4Root to root your Motorola Droid X
WITH COMPUTER
I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone during or after this process.
This is for Android 2.2.1 “Froyo” OTA
This method does not always work.
I didn’t make any of the apps that were used in this guide.
Things you will need—
-Droid X
-File manager (I use Astro) You can get it in the Android Market for free
-Micro USB charge cord
-Computer with internet connection (PC or Mac)
Go to Settings-->Applications-->Checkmark "Unkown Sources" While still in Applications go to Development-->Checkmark "USB Debugging" for safe measures.
How to root
Step 1—Get your Z4Root1.3.0.apk here
Step 2—Connect your phone to the computer via the micro USB cable. Open your phone on the computer like a hard drive.
Step 3—Copy the .apk onto your phone’s SD card root. Put it in a place on the SD card where you can find it. (I was using a Mac for this so I could just drag it) Now disconnect your phone from your computer.
Step 4—Open your file manager, find your “Z,” there will be a file that is called z4root.1.3.0. Click it, hit “Open App Manager,” click “Install.”
Step 5—There will be an app called “z4root” in your App drawer. Open it, click “Permanent Root” This may take two tries, if it gets stuck on “Running exploit in order to obtain root access…” for more than five minutes, you may have to battery pull. Do this again and it will most likely work. Your phone will reboot.
Step 6—After your phone reboots, go into your app drawer and there will be an app called “Superuser” the icon is a skull and cross-bones. Open it, it should say “su is up to date”
Congratulations you are now rooted!
