We heard earlier today that Asus has said that the Transformer TF101 would be getting the Android 4.0 update before the end of the month, and now it looks like Asus has started rolling out the update from today.
One of our readers just left a message on our Facebook page to let us know that the update has started rolling out in Taiwan, and after checking with Asus, they have just announced that the update is rolling out in Taiwan today, with other regions coming soon.
Many of our Eee Pad Transformer TF101 users have waited patiently for the promised Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update and we are delighted to announce that the first wave of FOTA updates for TF101 firmware v.9.2.1.11 started today in Taiwan. The update will FOTA in other regions soon after.
What to Expect from the Android 4.0 Update
The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update brings a host of new features and improvements to the Asus Transformer TF101. Users can look forward to a more intuitive user interface, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and improved performance. The update also includes new features such as Face Unlock, which allows users to unlock their device using facial recognition technology, and a redesigned app launcher for easier navigation.
Additionally, the update enhances the browser experience with faster rendering speeds and better tab management. Users will also benefit from improved battery life and more efficient data usage, thanks to the new power management features included in Android 4.0.
Global Rollout and User Reactions
We don’t as yet have specific details on when the update will launch in various regions, including the US, Europe, and the UK. However, Asus has assured users that the update will be available in other regions soon after the initial rollout in Taiwan. This staggered release approach is common with major software updates, as it allows the company to address any potential issues that may arise during the initial deployment.
Asus Transformer TF101 users around the world have been eagerly anticipating this update, and the news of its rollout has been met with excitement and relief. Many users have taken to social media platforms to express their satisfaction with the new features and improvements. For instance, one user commented on our Facebook page, “Finally! I’ve been waiting for this update for months. The new features are amazing, and my device feels so much faster now.”
Another user shared their experience with the Face Unlock feature, stating, “The Face Unlock feature is really cool. It’s not only convenient but also adds an extra layer of security to my device.”
While the update has been generally well-received, some users have reported minor issues, such as compatibility problems with certain apps. However, these issues are expected to be resolved in subsequent updates.
As soon as we get more details on the specific release dates for other regions, we will let you guys know. In the meantime, users are encouraged to check for the update manually by going to the settings menu on their device and selecting “System Updates.”
