The day we all thought would never come — the day in which early XOOM adopters could mail in their homely 3G unit for a 1-2 hardware swap to more brisk LTE gear. Yes, it’s finally here. All you have to do is to navigate to www.verizonwireless.com/Xoom4GLTEupgrade. After the pre-paid shipping materials arrive at your door, simply drop your XOOM inside and find something to do during the week-long ordeal. If you haven’t snagged a XOOM yet you may be...

That Motorola DROID Bionic doesn’t just make use of Unicorn horn dust to achieve the better than average LTE battery life.
