[OFFICIAL] TF201 JellyBean Thread - IT'S HERE!

[Frederuco]

With the announcement of Android 4.1, Google has spilled the beans (literally)

on their new OS codename Jelly Bean. It is available on the Nexus7 natively, and has already been ported over to the Galaxy Nexus (and many more to come).

It has lots of great new features, and it is faster than ICS and rivaling iOS for its buttery smoothness.

As of now, no official announcements from Asus have been made as to whether or not the cool new OS will be officially ported to the TF201. Since this is a Tegra 3 device (same as the Nexus7), the update should be in the works. We will keep the first post updated with the latest information that we can find.

Feel free to discuss the rumors you can find about JellyBean and the TF201 in this thread.

UPDATE 1: Looks like an unofficially official list of who is getting JellyBean is here: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/07...et-jelly-bean/ And the TF201 is on the list.
Thanks for the link Muzz!

UPDATE 2: Asus has released the following information:

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

As we suspected, this confirms that the Infiity, TF300 and TF201 should be getting JellyBean in the near future. No official word on when the TF101 and SL101 will be munching on jelly beans though.

Anyone have links to where we can get the "unofficial" jellybean release for the TF201?

Besides the above post, I've been hearing about others having it loaded on the Prime. I'd be willing to risk Reston it out.

Sadly it won't make our WIFI all of a sudden great will it?

i keep reading all these WiFi woes.... however since ive had my TF201 (the re-release version w/ the metal back) , i dont have any WiFi issues... only issues i come across w/ connectivity is connecting to my WiFi HotSpot via my HTC EVO 3D hotspot app, i just chalk that up to cell phone carrier fail....

Hey rp what does your serial (first 3 characters) begin with? Mine is C40 I have had mine for about 2 1/2 months and I have not experienced any of the well publicized. Wifi issues....man I really feel for those who have Wifi issues. The reason I am asking is I believe Asus did some tweaking on some TF201 models its the only explanation why some are ok and others ate having issues.
