A more open Asus, with a beta test programme for technical users* would instantly do two things.

1) result in Asus shooting to the top of the cool list for tinker-types.
2) result in a more stable end product for non-technical types, with more bugs out of the system prior to OTA update.


*technical users being those that meet a minimum criteria of producing accurate and technical bug reports and not just "it doesn't work waaaaaaahhaaaaa".

If Asus doesn't do this, it's only a matter of time before someone else does it and takes the crown.

Bear in mind that the TF101 still has issues with ICS, so don't hold your breath too long!! :eek:

There is that. But Asus has had the code for a while and I think the bug fixing via XDA users will go a long way to fixing various issues.

Quality bug reporting, not bug fixing, that's best left to Asus.

Information on Asus North American Facebook page indicates that the Tegra 3 stable will for sure get it, but it has to be determined which if any of their other devices will get it.

There seems to be some debate whether "Asus Transformer Pad" means only the TF300 or the TF300 and TF101. Either way, I would guess the TF101 will get stock JB considering the issues some people still have with ICS.

Asus now calls our TF101s the Eee Pad Transformer and the TF300 the Transformer Pad. Subtle, I know, but enough to give them an out if they feel the need. It sounded to me like a for sure for Tegra 3 and we don't know yet for Tegra 2. It's already been proven to run great on Tegra 2 so there is really no excuse to withhold it from us. I'll probably run a custom ROM anyway so it really won't matter to me. It might be nice though to get some of the Asus parts for custom ROMs where they and nVidia should know the hardware and it's secrets better than we do.

I most definitely will run a custom JB ROM if ASUS doesn't provide one. Chances are the dev. version will be better anyway.
