Dev roots Motorola Xoom in less than 2 hours

Honeycomb (Android 3.0) didn't get in the way of a quick root of the Motorola Xoom. It's actually not a surprise, as lately XDA Developers and others have been getting their "root on" very quickly.

In fact, just a few days ago, the Motorola Atrix 4G was rootedbefore it even hit the stores.

The Motorola Xoom was rooted in two hours, apparently. Om fact, it probably took less time than that, as the personinvolved in the root had to go pick one up and announced the root two hours later.

This means Xoom owners can taste the pleasure of root-only apps such as Titanium Backup. It also opens the door for custom ROMs, as it was already announced that the Xoom has an unlockable / relockable bootloader.

Meanwhile, those concerned about the fate of the person who picked up the Motorola Xoom in the earlier "Verizon Motorola XOOM Vendetta Preview" can rest easy. The second part of the "ad" has been released, and he's fine. Watch both parts below (although the second part is in Spanish, only, for now).
