Were not too surprised by todays news, but were going to put it out there anyway: ASUS looks to be working on getting Android 4.2 out to its Transformer tablets. The news came via a call to customer service where one customer inquired about the upgrade for their Transformer Prime. The rep didnt specifically confirm that the Prime or any particular device would get it, but the response didnt seem to implicate any one device.
Its important not to assume that all ASUS Transformer tablets will be in line for Jelly Bean 4.2. Some of the companys tablets still havent gotten Android 4.1. Another thing to remember is that going by the word of a customer service representative is risky business. Often times than not, these reps either have wrong information, they misunderstand the question or they just flat-out know nothing.
In this case its pretty safe to assume that ASUS is working on Android 4.2 updates for at least some of its devices, though, so well take their word for it and keep our fingers crossed that a majority of its tablets will get it. ASUS will likely announce their upgrade plans on Facebook whenever theyre ready so be sure to like them and keep an eye on it over the coming weeks.
