Motorola Xoom Welcomes Mod, ClockworkMod in Particular

Motorola Xoom is barely out for a day and it’s already the subject of modding and heavy customization. Seattle hacker @koush is responsible with the latest tweak, since he made the device moddable and installed his ClockworkdMod Recovery ROM manager, without encountering any issues.

Strange to see a Motorola product behaving so nicely after the problems with the Droid smartphone series having protected bootloaders. Root access isn’t yet available on the Xoom, but hey, it’s been a single day since the slate was launched! Once the Motorola tablet is fully hacked, it will host non-Android Market software, Windows or whatever you want to install on it.

Android 3.0 is pretty incredible though and it’s hard to believe someone would desire another OS on this slate…
