Asus Transformer TF101 Ice Cream Sandwich US release date : February 24th

Computerworld reports that Ice Cream Sandwich for Asus’ original Transformer will be available to US customers tomorrow, Friday, February 24th.

I would advise you to tread with caution, being an early updater always bears risks (Including odd early-adopter glitches, data loss, crashes, flickering and any number of unknown yet possible issues. Most probably nothing dramatic will happen, but you can always wait a day or two for the community feedback to land). If you can’t wait to put your hands on the new update then hit okay when prompted, sometime tomorrow.

Asus hears you, lets you unlock the bootloader of the Transformer Prime TF201

Asus follows suit of HTC and provides a tool that unlocks the bootloader of the Transformer Prime. The procedure is not all daisies, though, the downsides are worth considering if you aren’t a hundred-percent sure of what you’re doing.

The new unlock tool is available to those customers who run Ice Cream Sandwich on their tablets, downloadable here (select Android, Utilities).

The bootloader unlock utility is tailored to those who want to take full control over their Transformer Prime. By removing the lock, you can install custom ROMs, different versions of Android or any operating system that runs on the tf201. Since the development had been shunted by the locked bootloader, there aren’t many customizations you can apply to your tablet just yet. If there is going to be a new ROMs coming, it will be announced on the XDA forums.

Please note that removing the lock with the tool provided by Asus voids warranty, shuts you out of further official software updates, not to mention the mysterious sounding warning at the end of the first paragraph of legalese, “your purchased digital content may also be affected.”

Asus Transformer TF101 Ice Cream Sandwich release date pushed back, reason unknown

Asus promised to crank up the original Asus Transformers to Ice Cream Sandwich mid-February. It’s the middle of February, yet the company only delivered an announcement regarding the delay.

“We are informed that the ICS upgrade for TF101 will be ready within the Feb/March 2012 period. You will be able to receive the upgrade notification via FOTA once we have a confirmation date.”

announced ASUS Singapore on Facebook yesterday.

It is unclear why the company decided to push the new update back. I personally like to think that the quality assurance team is behind the decision.

A reasonably bug-free release a month from now is undoubtedly better than a hasty patch swung at customers this week. Transformer Prime owners might concur.

update: Asus transformer ice cream sandwich release date confirmed to be 24th of February for US customers.

How Fast Nvidia Tegra 3 Really Is?

Armdevices.net collected the all footage you need to see about the new chip.

I must say I really love using my iPad 1 still, but having five cores of computing powerhouse under my fingers is tempting. Very tempting.
