You're doing it wrong.

I like the new enhancements to the Notification Tray, but they didn't need to segment it from the Status Bar. Mistake #1.

Then they still have thrown away the Menu button. So its still a frustratingly small button per app where you need to constantly look for it. Mistake #2.

They've not improved Multitasking in the least. At least show the Apps in correct order of last usage --something so trivial that its embarrasing for Google to get wrong *facepalm* Mistake #3.

They've kept the Multitasking Button. Hey Google, how about if you slide your finger "Up" from the Navigation Buttons to view the Recents/Tasks/Multitasking List. Its not hard, its intuitive, and frankly basic. Mistake #4.

Mistake #5 --The OS hasn't acquired more features from Linux. It hasn't matured. They haven't used the latest kernel (v3.5) from Linus. If they did those features above, and made it slightly heavier/feature-ful then they could've given Win8 Tablets some stiff competition before they even began shipping.

There's a lot of incentive to get the Nex7 for $199, but a big incentive to upgrade to a the $249 (storage inadequacies).

I would've been fine with an OMAP4430 as long as the 8GB version had microSD and also microHDMI and microUSB-HOST.

Alas, Android isn't maturing (into full-fledged linux) like we thought.
We must see how BBX and Win8 will turn out, cause I dislike having to download a plethora of 3rd-party software for things you should get out of the box.

Updated over the air a few hours ago. Everything is working fine; I'll explore Now later. The female answer voice realism is definitely a few notches above Ms. Siri.

This will be nice especially if they eventually make a document editor for android that retains many of LibreOffices's capabilities. Actually, Polaris, which came free on my Galaxy Note, is not too bad for simple documents. You can also have full blown LibreOffice now by installing ubuntu 12.04 using the linux on android app. Even though you have to go through VNC it is still quite responsive (at least on my GNote with LXDE version of ubuntu).

Motorola Xoom, updated to Team EOS Build 118 of 4.1.1 Jelly Bean... it's friggin' screaming fast at 1.0ghz, up to 1.6ghz and it's a brand new machine.

I'm way happy.

It also works through commandline (obviously), which is good for converting documents. Like this:
Code:
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir /path_to/converted_file /path_to/file
in 1-2 minutes converts to pdf.
