Ya its in the market https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result but only us so far. Android@Home looks seriously cool though. Do you think it would be long to get movie rentals here or will it happen at all?

Found a link on twitter for it from someone who uploaded it. I'd reckon I best not post it here tho.
Clue: modaco and Paul o briens tweets.

New music app available over on XDA

I do this (cloud music) with Grooveshark right now. Not quite as slick as that, but perfectly functional.

Honeycomb 3.1 out for the verizon Xoom. Hopefully it wont take Asus to update the Transformer.
No real news announced about Ice Cream Sandwich. Wasnt it known that it would be a "one size fits all" os.

Nothing hugely interesting so far. Seen it all before in one way or another. Hopefully "IceCream Sandwich" (?Shorten to ICS) will deliver imporvements in Dual Core and managing battery life better. I was hoping for things like a slick media player for on-board media, but Google seems to be going down the cloud route.
I would also like to have seen a major revision to the market and the way it works and looks. Hopefully that is upcoming.
I do like hearing that Networks, Google and Manufacturers are coming together to make updates more timely and guarantee at least 18 months of updates. Android definitely has massive promise moves like this will definitely help.

3.1 is for the 3g xoom at the moment, its coming to the wifi version in a few weeks, can't wait :-)

These are good first day updates, looking forward to what they announce for updating the android market tomorrow.

trev44 they have just said "later" same for the music update.

I like the new update and features but the full USB support is not completely logic as not a lot of tablets got full USB ports, the Xoom doesn't to name one, not sure about the new tab 10.1. the limited edition which they handed out on I/O is already for sale on eBay

tui0hcg · 11-05-2011, 10:59

Did anyone get a Google Music invite yet?
I tried to sign on through a US proxy and it accepted details but I am still waiting

Would love to hear some feedback as it looks like a great service
