ASUS has announced that the rather Android 4.1 update – also known as Jelly Bean – will be coming to their line of rather splendid Transformer tablets-cum-notebooks.
The company say that Transformer Pad, Transformer Prime and forthcoming Transformer Pad Infinity tablets are all scheduled to receive the Jelly Bean update, although the time-scale is frustratingly described as being “in the coming months.”
Owners of the original Transformer and Transformer Slide are going to be left out of the upgrade party, although ASUS does throw them a possible lifeline, commenting that it is “still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.”
Here’s the full ASUS’s press release.
Dear valued ASUS customer,
At ASUS, one of the key commitments we make to our customers is a relentless drive to deliver the best user experience. We constantly strive to achieve this goal through our ‘Design Thinking’ philosophy that includes regular software and firmware updates for our products.
We are pleased to announce that many of our tablet products are scheduled to receive an update to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. The ASUS Transformer Pad, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity are all scheduled to receive Android 4.1 updates in the coming months. We will provide further guidance on our expected timeframes for these updates near their release.
We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.
Thank you for your continued support.
ASUS
