The Motorola Xoom 2 tablet is arriving in Ireland for the holidays, according to a flyer from Carphone Warehouse posted by Engadget. The WiFi-only device sports a different body style than the first Xoom tablet, and will not be participating in the Ice Cream Sandwich revolution, as it runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

The hardware manufacturer Google is trying to buy is releasing a new iteration of their tablet and it won’t ship with Google’s new OS. The manufacturer Google isn’t trying to buy got first dibs on Ice Cream Sandwich. This sounds well-considered.
