Details on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Update

The update also includes new functionalities such as Face Unlock, which allows users to unlock their device using facial recognition technology, and a redesigned app launcher.
One of the most significant changes in ICS is the introduction of the Roboto font, which offers a more modern and readable text appearance. Additionally, the update brings improved voice input capabilities, allowing for more accurate and faster voice-to-text transcription. The browser has also been enhanced, providing a more desktop-like browsing experience with better tab management and faster page loading times.

Asus has also addressed some of the GPS problems that users had experienced with the Transformer Prime. The company has acknowledged these issues and has been working on solutions to improve GPS performance. Users can expect better GPS accuracy and faster satellite lock times with the new update.
Moreover, the Transformer Prime will benefit from improved battery life management, thanks to the power-saving features introduced in ICS. This means users can enjoy longer usage times between charges, making the device even more convenient for on-the-go use.
For those who are interested in customizing their device further, the bootloader unlock tool provided by Asus will be a welcome addition. This tool allows users to unlock the bootloader, giving them the freedom to install custom ROMs and make other modifications to their device. However, it’s important to note that unlocking the bootloader may void the warranty, so users should proceed with caution.
