Anyone else hate the stupid honeycomb animation on power up?

Interesting. I don't use facebook.

+1 it's only locked up once on me. I don't remember why.

Same, once. But can't remember why.

Um, it's low resolution but I can't really say I care all that much... I almost never turn the thing off anyways.

Yeah, that startup animation is horrible. They probably threw it in there last minute because it seems like any amateur animation artist could create that.

I really couldn't care less about the boot up animation. Whenever I power up my devices that take more than 10 seconds (which is basically all of them except for my gaming consoles) I turn them on, do something else for a little bit, then come back when I know it is fully up. I don't turn my Xoom on and off often. I treat it like my phone and turn it on when I wake up and turn it off when I go to bed. I don't see a need to keep devices on that are getting absolutely no use (although I often keep my computer on throughout the night..)

Damn I guess people have run out of things to complain about.

 

[kennychaffin]

Nah. Where the hell's my SDCard software update and my 4G???? Huh? Where??

Anyone hear anything about android 3.1?

 

[Dlux]

I guess I am in the minority with saying that I like it.

I don't get it... why would anyone ever turn their tablet off? The point of "instant on" is waking from being asleep right? Why power it off at all?

I shut down and restart my Xoom every 2 or 3 days. I start to notice lagging in the screen, especially if I had been playing angry birds for a little bit. When I do, I have also noticed some apps start to not work properly, like email may take longer to synch, or the web browser is not loading flash properly.

Coming from a windows background I feel right at home doing an occasional reboot to freshen things up. But I do feel like this is poor memory management going on here.
