Asus Transformer Pad To Get Android 4.2 Update Today In The US, Will Roll Out Globally This Month

Asus has started rolling out an update
to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for
its Transformer Pad TF300 tablet.
The software update means that the
Transformer Pad 300 is the
first tablet to get Android 4.2 Jelly
Bean aside from Google’s Nexus
7 and Nexus 10. Asus is rolling the
firmware out in the US from today and
other regions during March.
In a time where Android 4.2 is still a
rarity for those who don’t own a Nexus
device, ASUS has come along and, once
again, put a lot of OEM to shame with
swift action on the latest version of
Android.
Along with all of the goods Jelly Bean
4.2 brings, including widgets on the
lock-screen and user profiles for
multiple users, ASUS will also have
significant updates in tow for its App
Locker, its virtual keyboard, the lock-
screen and setup wizards. Users can
grab the upgrade over-the-air so be
sure to take a quick trip to the Settings
> About Tablet menu where you’ll be
able to pull this one down.
In related news, ASUS has confirmed
several other tablets in its lineup that
will get Android 4.1 in the second
quarter of this year. These tablets
include the Transformer Pad Infinity,
the ASUS MeMO Pad Smart 10, and the
MeMO Pad.
Good going Asus!
