While we have yet to hear of official word from Motorola, we just came to know the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi tablet’s Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update is now rolling out for every one, not just soak test members. A couple of days ago, we reported a new firmware update for the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi that was scheduled to rollout at any minute. The latest version of Android is 4.1.1, build JRO03H and includes more responsive user interface, expandable, actionable notifications, a smarter keyboard, improved text-to-speech capabilities, new widgets, voice search, an improved search experience and more.
The new Jelly Bean update is being rolled out through an OTA (Over-The-Air) update process. If everything goes well, the OTA update should make its way to your tablet at any moment now.
