This probably seems small, but one of the biggest annoyances I had with the web version of the Android market is how frustrating it was to navigate screenshots. Previously, if you opened a screenshot you had to close it before you opened another one. And you couldn’t just click away from the screenshot to close [...]

While Google released the Honeycomb update that brings resizable widgets, USB host support, and overall performance improvements to VZW XOOM owners during I/O, and Motorola dropped it on Wi-Fi only XOOMs late last week, all other Honeycomb tablet owners have been asking the same question: when do I get it- For owners of the Acer [...]
