The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is great - great enough to be our top tablet pick for 2011. And early adopters are already seeing an update to Ice Cream Sandwich, albeit a somewhat rocky one. But Asus also promised to upgrade the original Transformer to Android 4.0, and hundreds of thousands of Android fans are waiting with bated breath for some shiny new software. According to a response to a curt question on Asus North America's Facebok page, they won't have to wait much longer: the update is currently scheduled for mid-February.

Last week at CES 2012 ASUS announced that the update for the new Transformer Prime was ready now and they surprised the crowd by announcing it was ready a few days early instead of January 12th like their initial announcement. That is all good and dandy news but many original Transformer owners weren't happy to hear and probably tossed their hands up with frustration. Today ASUS has updated their Facebook Page with some clarification.

Yes this is the original ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and not the illusive Prime we are all waiting for still. Today ASUS appears to be rolling out yet another update for the popular slate. Sadly this is not Ice Cream Sandwich but this is another quick update that shows just how committed they are to keeping on track of updates and bug fixes. I wish others were this fast but that is just wishful thinking.

All of you lucky ASUS Eee Pad Transformer owners should be happy to know an OTA update is hitting devices today.

We've been seeing a lot of the Asus Transformer 2 in the last few days, and now it's been confirmed by none other than Asus executive Jonney Shih. Shih spoke at the AsiaD conference hosted by All Things D, where he pulled out what is almost certainly a nearly complete EEE Pad Transformer 3 and its keyboard attachment. Shih also confirmed that the tablet is using "Nvidia’s quad core processor", which to our ears sound like the Tegra 3.

First off, this isn't really exactly news because isn't this what we all expect when we buy Android? That our devices at some point will get updated to the latest and greatest OS as they become available? At least most right? While this story is completely obvious I'm sure many will be extremely happy to hear that the ASUS Transformer will indeed be updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. What's even better is it might also be the first tablet to receive the update, although the Xoom might have something to say about that.
