A new ‘project’ was in the works from Moto, and they were asking for participants who have the “Google Experience” version of the Wi-Fi only model of Motorola Xoom tablet. We hoped it could be the Android 4.0 ICS update for Xoom. Good news is that the ‘project’ turned out indeed the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. The manufacturer has started rolling out the Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS update for the Wi-Fi Motorola Xoom, as well as 4G LTE Motorola Xoom devices (Specifically for the members of the official Motorola forums and Feedback Network). The build number is IML77. The update roll out will continue throughout the weekend. Motorola promises they will very likely release this update to the masses.

You can also force the update by heading over to Menu –> Settings –> About Tablet –> System Updates –> and tap Install Now button –> Device Reboots automatically. This process should initiate the latest software upgrade process.
