IIRC as of the 3rd it should be rolling out to all SKUs, unless of course they pulled it.
TF201 | XDA Premium
Battery drain worked on mine too. Glad to have my tab back

No, that's the thing. My Batterie was fully charged before I updated. I probably was one of the first to do so after I got up in the morning and unplugging it from the AC. (Freshly rebooted too)
It seems to be somewhat random to why this happens. I've noticed some that didn't brick applied the camera update first, but I can't imagine that made the difference.
I've also noticed that after the updated and by partially unbricking the TF2 I have noticed some of my apps behaving really strange, namely: PlaeyerPro (would force close) and google Maps.
So I wonder if it has something to do with the apps, you have installed and them possibly interfering with the update process.
I am rooted, but this affected enough non-rooted tabs to rule that one out too.
The morale is: I don't trust Asus to handle any of my updates (my Asus Laptop bricked after one of their official Bios updates as well..
)..So far no update for DE (german) SKUs, they have 6 1/2 hrs left to go live on Jan. 3rd... They might be looking into the reliability issues of their OTA procedure.
It seems they ARE getting a lot of heat on GPS and the bootloader. Very curious how this turns out.

Translated by someone, not me:
ASUS Taiwan just released an official statement, which covers some aspects we would really love to know:
1) ICS will be pushed to devices around the world on Jan 12th (woot!)
2) GPS problem is mainly due to the aluminium backplate on the device. they won't be able to do much about it, that's why they removed the GPS from the specs on various sites to avoid causing any misunderstandings among users.
3) BOOTLOADER: they won't unlock the bootloader, and the purpose of locked bootloader is to support media renting service on the device and its stability. BUT, they are working on releasing a bootloader unlocking tool for those users who would like to unlock it. however, the use of this unlocker tool wil void the warranty immediately.

Worst thing is they keep the bootloader locked to maintain DRM - will they ever learn?

Mine is BRICKED. Not sort-of / kind-of bricked. But bricked bricked. Like, no sign of life whatsoever. Like, you can't even tell that there is anything electronic about this lump of glass and metal. I was not rooted and didn't even "mess around" with anything before the "update". Asus gave me an RMA number and asked that I send it back.
To be clear... it's bricked (as it's original meaning implies).

I updated last night (January 2nd).
I can't let the battery drain... because it's bricked. There is no way to turn it on or consume battery power in any way. When I plug it into the charger... nada thing happens. No lights, no sign of life. There is only one way to deal with this which is to send it back. No tricks will work (not even reset or volume-down+power-button does anything, nor can it because.... like I said... it's bricked).
I'm completely dumbfounded as to how an update can nuke a piece of hardware but in my case it has. My only guess is that ASUS is messing around with voltages trying to boost the wifi and GPS signals. Perhaps my hardware was pushed over the limit and something is cooked. Anyway, did I mention that the update bricked my Transformer Prime ?

I was on the .27 and mine wouldn't update to the .29. I gave it a couple of days to try, but it didn't. I had to manually update it. Now it still doesn't see an update. I am returning this one because I think. I received a dud. I have to wait for one to come in stock though which is the hard part.
I hate to return this one because everything else is working besides ota updates. Has to be a logical reason. Itsjust not enough people have this problem to figure it out.

Can someone go to settings/about tablet/status and tel me if your serial number says unknown? Im trying to figure out why i and a few others were never able to update ota.
Mine shows a serial number. Just a question- do you have a serial number sticker next to the charging port?
Mine doesn't show a serial number, just unknown and no I didn't do a product registration. Where do you do that at, and will it effect anything?
I'm having the same issue. Stuck on .27 and in info I have no serial number.
Mine was a Best Buy unit if that matters.
Mine was a bb unit as well. Did anyone with a serial number shown as unknown in settings/about tablet/status able to get ota updates? I never registered it but I doubt it has something to do with it.

2right after installing the update, I did a GPS test and I'm able to get 8-10 satellites from my home office. I used to never get a signal here. I will test more and report back.2
I am so not bothered by this gps nonsense i never turned off my wifi to check, when i go to weather, it knows where am i am, when i go to maps it locks on instantly, when i go to checkins, it knows where i am.
in my eyes GPS works. idc if i go outside with some sattelite app with wifi off if it connects to them. it works, thats all i care about.
if you are using a 10.1 tablet as a GPS in your car then i really don't know what to say.1
Same here. Got it to work by going into Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Google+ > Clear Data , then Force stop. First time you load Google+ you will then need to select your account.1
