i bought my Asus Tranformer (for me) last thursday along with Acer Iconia A500 (for my wife) in Saudi arabia. until now, i haven't received any OTA update to 3.1. my TF still having this specs: Android 3.0.1; GPS 1.2.4; Wifi 5.248.35; Bluetooth 6.12; Kernel 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5; Build No. HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511. any thought when we will get the OTA updates? i don't want to root my tabs.

i had to go to the Asus website to get the update. it updated easily and seems to work great.
before updating my tf here is my config:
Android 3.0.1
GPS 1.2.4
Wifi 5.248.35
Bluetooth 6.12
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5
Build No. HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
ive done this yesterday without success. i've purchased my microsd 16gb yesterday. i downloaded the file Version V8.4.4.5(WW). ive unzip and copied it to my microsd and insert it to my TF. then and exclamation point saying that update detected so i tap on it and reboot my TF. it also mentioned that my TF updated successfully but when i checked it on the system.. it's still showing everything same with android version 3.0.1. the only thing different was the Kernel version which before Kernel 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5 and now it is Kernel 2.6.36.3-00004-g069b8b5 android@mercury # 1. anybody experienced this before? and what do you think happened here? the asus website update package is 3.1 but why im still at 3.0.1. i dont really understand here...
what should i do... any piece of advice? thanks
well I live in Portugal and I still haven't got the update 
. I have had it for almost a month now. If its over the air, shouldn't we all be getting it at the same time or is it a regional thing??
I also tried updating through the website but I was not successful. Although I have no msd card and tried to unzip the file directly to my TF driver from my PC (following the site's instruvtions). And no luck.
Should I keep trying or will the update eventually make its way to europe!!!

What you have done is download the patch for the kernel, which is the BIOS of the tablet. You still need to update the OS. Like others, I was able to update Honeycomb to 3.1 when my tablet arrived, although I did have to do a reset first due to other problems, like charging wasn't showing up.

thank you for the reply. what i did was downloading the firmware from this site: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Eee- ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and by selecting as per my SKU which is WW so i have to download the file with Version V8.4.4.5(WW). i've done this downloading using my laptop and unzipping the file. it comes with a folder name ASUS. the instructions mentioned that i have to copy the folder ASUS into the root directory of my microsd card which i did. and after, i have inserted it directly to my TF and immediately recognized the update. so i went through of it and shutdown, rebooted and voila, update successfully. but after looking into it, the android version still the same as i've mentioned on my previous thread. Did i miss any file to be downloaded?
by the way,,, the file size of ASUS folder after unzipping is 218mb.
any advice will be appreciated.
