Asus Transformer Tablet Will Receive Ice Cream Sandwich Update

Asus' original Eee Pad Transformer Android tablet will receive an official update to the fourth iteration of Google's mobile operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich, confirmed an Asus official a short while ago.

"Transformer will be getting update to ICS - but we can’t provide a schedule at this stage," told Pocket Lint an Asus employee who wanted to remain anonymous.

From what we know at this point in time, Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to arrive in a couple of weeks after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which seems to be scheduled for the start of November.

If Google sticks up to its schedule, this could mean that the update should go live by the end of the year.

Asus' Chairman, Jonney Shih, revealed just recently that the Android ICS update for the upcoming Transformer 2 is also expected to arrive until the end of 2011.
