European XOOMs finally getting an Android Honeycomb 3.2 update

The European version of the first Honeycomb tablet – the Motorola XOOM is on its way to receive the long-awaited Android 3.2 update. More specifically, the update is targeted at Wi-Fi-only XOOM units, that are running versions 6.4.20 and 6.4.20.3; they will be upgraded to 6.6.23.

And to make things even more limiting – only users in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK will receive the update notification message.

The update brings some bug fixes and performance improvements. Most notably, Motorola is throwing in the full version of QuickOffice as well as MOTOPRINT, which allows you to print documents, photos and other content right from the XOOM.
