There have been rumors over the last few weeks that the launch of the Asus Transformer Prime would be delayed, although Asus has confirmed that the Transformer Prime will launch on the 19th of December.
Now it would appear that the Transformer Prime will be delayed in at least one country, Italy, as Asus has confirmed that the Transformer Prime won’t hit Italian stores until January.
There is some good news though, when the Transformer Prime launches in Italy in January it will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, instead of Android 3.2 Honeycomb.
Features of the Asus Transformer Prime
The Asus Transformer Prime is highly anticipated due to its impressive specifications and features. It is the first tablet to be powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor, which promises enhanced performance and better battery life. The device also boasts a 10.1-inch Super IPS+ display with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels, providing vibrant colors and sharp images. Additionally, the Transformer Prime includes an 8-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash and a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
One of the standout features of the Transformer Prime is its optional keyboard dock, which transforms the tablet into a laptop-like device. This dock not only provides a physical keyboard but also extends the battery life of the device, making it an excellent choice for productivity on the go. The tablet itself offers up to 12 hours of battery life, and with the dock, it can last up to 18 hours.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
The inclusion of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) is another significant advantage for the Transformer Prime. ICS brings a host of new features and improvements over its predecessor, Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Some of the key enhancements include a redesigned user interface, improved multitasking, and better performance. Users will also benefit from new features such as Face Unlock, which allows them to unlock their device using facial recognition, and Android Beam, which enables easy sharing of content between devices using NFC technology.

The delay in Italy might be disappointing for some, but the wait will be worth it given the upgraded operating system. The Transformer Prime is expected to set a new standard for Android tablets, combining powerful hardware with the latest software to deliver an exceptional user experience.
