Asus USA, Netherlands suggest TF101 Jelly Bean undecided; Asus Germany disagrees

tf101 IS getting the 4.1 update
Asus denies the rumors via their german Facebook page:
"We need do deny this clear. Our colleagues from the Netherlands have made no statement about TF101/SL101, but merely confirmed that TF201/TF300/TF700 are going to receive an update to JB. The converse, that TF101/SL101 wont get an update to JB is not true. According to current knowledge, an Android 4.1 update will come for our users of older TF101/SL101.

German Original:
"Wir müssen dies klar dementieren. Die Kollegen aus den Niederlanden haben keine Aussage über TF101/SL101 getroffen, sondern lediglich bestätigt, dass TF201/TF300/TF700 ein Jelly Bean Update bekommen werden. Der Umkehrschluss, dass TF101/SL101kein JB Update erhalten werden, ist falsch und reine Spekulation.Nach aktuellen Kenntnisstand werden auch Nutzer der älteren TF101/SL101 in den Genuss eines Android 4.1 Updates kommen."

you have to be an active member on XDA-Developers to be choosen,
so jelly bean seems to be planned for asus tf101 :fingers-crossed: (i asked if there was any chance to be a beta tester on jelly bean for asus tf101)
so i don't think asus tf101 is doomed yet

I hope they're planning a widespread and thorough beta testing program on XDA, the "ICS beta test" was somewhat a failure (for many reasons I won't reiterate here).
And yes, in spite of what happened with ICS I'd be more than willing to participate in such a program

Same here ... I'd love to test JB for the TF101 as well, given all the issues my TF101 has had with ICS
.Goes to show sometimes we all too quickly jump to conclusions and assume the worst.

Sweet, let's hope the beta testing begins soon ;-)

We can only hope (for those of us with serious ICS issues on the TF101) that a JB update goes better than the ICS update did ...
More to the point, let's hope they actually beta-test.

Agreed, my Launcher crashes 3-4 times a day and I have random reboots perhaps twice a week...
I do hope Jelly been will be a better experience though, I would be willing to beta test it to make sure any issues are discovered early on.

I sure hope the will have a broader, more open, beta phase this time.

Been meaning to update this, but not getting around to it. At the current time, Asus USA is siding with Asus Netherlands, and stating that only the Tegra 3 models are confirmed for Jelly Bean.
Note the models they've stated will be receiving Jelly Bean are:
* Asus Transformer Pad; the TF300T / TF300TG (http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300TG/)
* Asus Transformer Pad Prime [sic]; the TF201, Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. Apparently Asus USA don't even know their own product names. (http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/)
* Asus Transformer Pad Infinity; the TF700T. (http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/)
As far as Asus USA and Netherlands are concerned, there are no firm plans to offer Jelly Bean for the TF101 Eee Pad Transformer, nor for the SL101 Eee Pad Slider.
Asus Germany has somewhat opaquely contradicted this, stating that the TF101 and SL101 will get updates "according to current knowledge". Asus Sweden haven't directly stated either way, suggesting merely that "you have to be an XDA member to be a beta tester", without directly stating that they're talking about the TF101 or Jelly Bean.
Why Asus Germany feel the need to qualify it with "current knowledge"... well, that coupled with the lack of any comment from other regions suggests to me that the plans are anything but set in stone. If the plans were firm, they would have flat-out said so.
If you ask me, the answer from Asus re: Jelly Bean for the TF101 or SL101 is still a resounding "maybe."

8Well, no JellyBean crap from asus for you this time.
But as of aosp, I am making progress.
I love my TF101, even though our relationship is complex atm as we have to communicate through adb, as the touchscreen drivers aren't fixed as of now.
But JellyBean works. Just a little more effort for the first test releases.
I even get full support from my old friend guevor and maybe also from Team Liquid for Rom debugging.
Nuff said, asus.5Some if not most of the developers here at XDA who program for the tf101 do a better job than the officials over at ASUS. I have faith in our developers and will support them fully to release any form of Jelly Bean for our beloved tablet.2Update: different branches of Asus are directly contradicting each other about whether we'll get an update. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28840181 for the first example. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29269146 for yet another contradiction.
Title says it all, really. Asus Europe has confirmed at a press event that Jelly Bean will be released for the Prime, the TF300, and the TF700T, but TF101 and Slider users will be left out in the cold.
Rough translation:
"Sam from Tablets Magazine was present at the press conference, and ASUS confirmed that not all of its tablets can expect an update to the newest version of Android. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201, the Transformer Pad TF300 and the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 are certain to receive Android 4.1 Jellybean.
The previously launched models, the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Eee Pad Slider, are not expected to be updated, and will remain on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich."
