Jelly Bean coming to TF300T!

[Filipe Galego]

Just read this at Androidcentral:

Dear valued ASUS customer,

At ASUS, one of the key commitments we make to our customers is a relentless drive to deliver the best user experience. We constantly strive to achieve this goal through our ‘Design Thinking’ philosophy that includes regular software and firmware updates for our products.

We are pleased to announce that many of our tablet products are scheduled to receive an update to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. The ASUS Transformer Pad, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity are all scheduled to receive Android 4.1 updates in the coming months. We will provide further guidance on our expected timeframes for these updates near their release.

We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.

Thank you for your continued support.

ASUS

ASUS Transformer Pad IS the TF300T, so it will get JB

 

[Filipe Galego]

If that is true...GREAT!

 

[w3by]

Of course it is. Transformer Pad = TF300, Transformer Pad Infinity = TF700 and Transformer Pad Prime = TF201

I'd change the title of the topic now, if I were you, so people won't get misled

"ASUS today dropped word on its plans for Jelly Bean updates. The lucky tablet winners? The Transformer Pad, Transformer Pad Prime and the Transformer Pad Infinity."

The article on Android Central highlights the tablet names, click on the Transformer Pad and it sends you to the TF300's page

I am having trouble understanding the delay with an official JB update given Asus did build the Nexus 7. I am sure Asus is ready to roll on this as soon they get the green light from Google.

What do you mean
..this OTA doesn't go through Google. Asus pushes the update. I am sure they are in a good spot with the tf300 and the prime since the hardware is nearly identical to the N7.

The only thing they might be waiting on from Google is the go ahead so they don't beat them to JB on their flagship 10” tablet the xoom

That was exactly what I was referring too. Make sure Google is satisfied with their priority devices' (nexus branded) upgrades and their agreed upon lead period. Of course Asus controls the technical side of the equation.

Huh? Isn't flash capability browser specific? Firefox Beta supports flash.

Google is dropping Flash support starting with 4.1, to force content delivery shift to html5.

I think the OTA will come faster than, say a Verizon phone. Since there's no cell carrier involved, the release should come faster than when an update has to be bloated with carrier crap and be subjected to carrier testing.

No in fact it's Adobe who's dropping Google. They said it in a statement. I think it's on their webpage... So JB doesn't have Flash? :S

don't worry, most sites use html5 and you can still sideload the flash apk, then use firefox or boat browser or whatever browser except Chrome then you'll be able to watch flash videos.
i'd use Chrome as my default browser but firefox to watch flash videos, kinda annoying but i don't usually watch flash videos so it's not a problem for me,
jelly bean is not just smoother but it also has google new voice search, google now,... so i don't think you should keep ics with you.

I think Adobe is about to drop Flash completely. They already discontinued Linux and OSX support (then reinstated Linux support, but I think they may have discontinued it again; I haven't cared enough to follow up), and now Android is gone. I realize that Windows is the dominant OS and still has Flash support, but the number of people with Linux, OSX, Android, and iOS adds up, and everyone is moving to HTML5 anyway. I think Flash will be completely unsupported by Adobe within 18 months (maybe 12 if the Internet is lucky), and about a year after that, the last Flash website will be converted to HTML5 or some new, better standard.

Installed JB on my phone the day it was released and I still have flash.
