Asus has cheekily announced and started OTA’ing the latest Android Jelly Bean 4.1 update to its successful Asus Transformer Pad 300 tablets over the past few days with the company putting out a small announcement on its Facebook page then just dropping the update on its customers.
The Asus Transformer pad TF300 was released earlier in the year to much love from users with its quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, integrated 12-core GeForce GPU, 32GB of internal memory and an 8MP camera all for under £400.
Asus took to Facebook and simply posting an image of the Jelly Bean mascot on its Facebook page with the message: “When Mr. JellyBean is in the office, it means something good is coming. LIKE me…”
Then within a few hours the Asus Transformer pad 300’s started to receive the updates!
Asus will have a better start point with the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS as they have recently provided the hardware for Google’s recent Flagship Android Tablet device the Google Asus Nexus 7 that was released last month with Jelly Bean intact.
Now that the older Tablets have got the update users will surely be expecting that the next Asus Transformer Pad Infinity will also be launching with the latest 4.1 update when it come at the end of August.
However, customers with the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer or Eee Pad Slider have not been confirmed for the upgrade and users of the original Transformer are sure to be a bit annoyed, but Asus doesn’t say that the update won’t be coming, instead just stating “We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices”.
