If you guys can't wait for ICS and want to sell your devices I am offering to buy them for $200 each. I think that is fair, since it is obviously a piece of crap.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
Well first of all Honeycom is just rubish, it was released WHY to fast and the impression so far hasn't been any good for me....

Also I don't just sell ti because they are postphoning it but because I don't use it very often, now and then but I also need a new phone and with the Galaxy Note I have both? So I don't see the point of keeping this device...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Buckii:
Yes and honeycomb is proof that rushed software is boo, but if you plant sell then why post about ICS,

As for the guy who it suckered show me why it suckered considering get this one and the prime are most sold...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fanges:
@Fanges De ICS update komt in februari/maart, exacte datum is nog niet bekend. Dit is ook wat we hier eerder hebben gecommuniceerd. ^CD

I've asked them trough twitter...

they say that it's expected in Feb, or Mar..

so, we just need to wait :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 2011CorvetteZR1:
ah, the march date begins to creep in, april and never are soon to follow.

You missed the key word in both posts: "hopefully".

ie. when we change our minds, we can say we didn't promise anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tyfighter:
You forgot about the original date of "before the end of the year"...

This is getting super ridculous. I'm eally starting to bank on "never" being the actual release date. At any rate, paulburton is going to have a fully functional release before ASUS gives one to us, so all this waiting is rapidly going to become a moot point.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Buckii:

I just think this is getting out of hand, first were told end of the year(2011), then sometime in January's, then they say it's off too the googleplex for approval, to which leads them to say mid February, then they tell us the people who are involves are off Chinese New Year and are working on it...

((ASUS United Kingdom

Regarding the reports of ICS for TF101 being pushed back to March - Asus UK has not received any information confirming this. We will let you know if there is any further, solid developments and when we have a difinitive date for the release.

As Asus Singapore said we appreciate all the support and enthusiasm shown for our products on Facebook. We also realise how frustrating it is to wait and thank you for your patience.)),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,funy..isnt it????????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
I've seen more coherent information-management from a drunkard.

I can take the wait, but this is getting pretty silly.

Like I said in OP: Hope they've made up their minds this time. Seems like they haven't quite yet :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Buckii:
Wow this is making bad maybe if we get enough people we can force them to give a rough date instead of delays, or maybe like take it the media lol, i may end not buying asus again because of this...

I've been waiting for a while too, but I don't know how some of the other companies are, but I have had HTC and a Sony android phone and both those companies do the same thing, delay delay, and then never bring anything out. Wait a moment... that's just like some of the file pushers on here... hehe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Buckii:
True and don't get me i enjoy my tab but like this is nuts as ICS has dropped on other handsets and tabs now and the nexus s 4G is starting their rollout again in coming days hopefully the 3g version will follow suit... That said i just would like to see some form of offical update from the north American asus hq, as I live in canada and all this other posts from round the world I feel do not apply to me...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
hope it comes when its ready, and that you guys and others havent forced them to push out a defect ics.

my tf101 is working pretty good without ics, and yours are too, I said before in this thread, they shouldent even give out dates. They should just release it without notice of more than 2 or 3 days. I understand if they are having their team working on prime uppdates, due to various bugs and problems.

put it out of your minds and enjoy your tablet, its gonna release when its released.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Mine has a broken browser from the beginning with massive lags and lack of standard compliance. Google Chrome on ICS seems to at least partially adress this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
I use chrome on my Galaxy Nexus, and I have to say although it WILL BE the best browser around once it nears the end of beta, but right now ICS browser and honeycomb browser are both better because chrome lacks two different things for me: flash support (I know it's gonna get obsolete, but it isn't by now) and a desktop agent. On honeycomb you can at least enable desktop agent via about:debug-> UAString, but this doesn't work on chrome. So although I love many things about chrome, don't hope for too much in its current development state.

OP and title updated to match reality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ill1:
This is a deeply flawed and broken update process. ICS was released in October of last year - it shouldn't take this long. This is bigger than wanting ICS now, it's about drawing more developers to the platform to make better apps. I really like my Transformer, but if I had a high profile app I would not develop for Android. This ICS debacle is why. Samsung, Asus, and Acer make up the vast majority of high end Android tablets, none of which can tell you when they will actually have their most popular devices updated. The best Asus can do is sell you a new tablet with the update. Because Asus sells tablets not updates.

Android tablets are designed to make money for manufactures at point of purchase. Other tablets are designed to continually make money through apps, for app developers as well as tablet makers. This unfortunately is the cost of a free OS. Vague release dates, and delays are because there is no money in the update for the TF101 in fact it costs Asus money to put it out. If Asus had the equivalent of and itunes or app store where profits went to Asus, then we may have had the update already. This like it or not is a money thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habylab:
This is too true. Post-support of a device used to mean just a warranty, but now due to google handling the updates, it requires more.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ckoadiyn:
+1 I can't disagree lol the only way I could even see it being fixed is by making android have all the drivers already with it and Google pushing it out similar to windows but that would be almost impossible probably.

I don't have any problem to wait for the ICS update, but ASUS has a very interesting information management...

Maybe its coming to us with less bugs as the one for the transformer prime

My guess is that they are waiting for Asus to release ICS kernel source so they have something to work with instead of starting from scratch.

Or at least so I hope, because otherwise status seems to be nada done and nada interest ;)

I'm sure I read that ASUS said their Transformer ICS was at Google waiting for approval, now I read the delay is due their holidays.

Anybody want to start a poll on what 'early February' means in reality?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrGuy:
I'm cautiously optimistic, I don't like the wording of the Facebook post:

"Several of you have asked for a specific date on the ICS update for TF101. We don't have an exact date yet, but it should be this month."

Technically, they could release it on the 29th of February and still hold true to that statement. If you take into account the use of the word "should" then who knows when it'll be here. Or maybe I/we are over-thinking this a bit.

As much as I love my TF101, ASUS and everything associated with it, I can't help but observe that ASUS are terrible with getting things done on time. Almost as bad as Valve.

But as pointed out by others, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait - and I'd rather have a working late ICS release than a premature broken ICS release (...I think.)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] st0nedpenguin:
Early February probably turns into mid March.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Come on guys it does make sense if you think about it. There new number one product (prime) would be priority and during public holidays coperate companys still have a skeleton crew so the skeleton crew of devs would be working on ics for prime hence the updates.

Sooo now holidays are over and all the dev staff is back they can assign a team on priority for the original tf101.

They say mid feb they probably mean it :D

It might actually be worth worth waiting for a custom ICS ROM. Just for the fact, I know that majority of the people are going to want to flash a custom ROM considering all the benefits it has over stock.

I sent a support request on january 14th, just got a reply the other day citing the chinese new year as the delay in response and apologizing sincerely..

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike infinity:
maybe they should take a page out of the atheist idea that all things boil down to random chance. asus could use a random number generator to port ics... After a few iterations they will have something close to ios5.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
Truth be told, im no fan of getting buggy uppdates by Asus just to push the release forward in time. Apple releases tested and retested software. But when some people defend siri beeing taken down from appstore and made 4s exclusive with statements like "they did us a favor", the whole thing is getting out of hand. They act like relgious nutjobs and apple is no god to be admired.

Lmao always great to read this thread before bed thanks once again :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
You are looking at this from only your point of view. ASUS is a commercial electronics company that must protect a corporate image. They build a commercially available tablet that is sold on the open market and used by Devs ( that probably can run circles around their software team) as well as totally non technical people that don't know the definition of rooting. If they released a buggy version they would create a support nightmare for their support team with all the calls from the non technical users. They are doing what makes good business sense even if it upsets a few very impatient people.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
Must be nice to be the only human on the planet for these guys lol..seriously why do they even say dumb things like this? Release a buggy version..that would wreak havoc on Asus support lines and the company would probably end up losing money on support alone! Not to mention, enough noobs try to flash stable roms and mess their tf up, unless Asus pushed it ota (how else would they update us?) the likelihood of people thinking they are getting a stable release (hey it's official right?) and then flashing their tf and bricking/complaining it isn't stable, etc. this would be a fiasco..you see what a PR nightmare it was to 'delay' ics, can you imagine the fiasco if BOTH ics updates (for og tf and prime) were breaking people's transformers? Asus would lose so much money...seriously, impatient people, think before you ask the answer is obvious.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pierut:
at least we know that they were off for a holiday..not sure how I didn't think about that..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stenc55:
Agree!

Asus has sold 1,8M TF 101 last year, so there is approx 1'8M users. If we calculate that 10% of them are familliar with xda, development, manual (non-OTA) flashing, that makes 1,6M potentially unsatisfied customers if Asus f**k up upgrade. No company can afford that. Not even Apple! So, Asus is doing fine job by ignoring people like pashinator and hopfully will develop minimum bug included ROM.

Pashinator, think a little: Asus releases full bug and brick ROM. People with bricked/unusable/bugged TF will say no more Asus. Since user base will rapidly drop, there will also be large drop in devs interested to make custom roms. So you will in the end also be withouth bright shinny new coocked ROM. I know what I'm talking, I had SGT P1010 with not single one developer to work on it.

And have a nice day!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blickmanic:
i agree with the poster above 100%.

the ONLY way around this is that asus should leak out a CWM flashable ICS port, but its extremely unlikely.

samsung do that from time to time though..

First thing you need to do when ICS drops is download the Chrome beta. I just had it crash and when I restarted it it reloaded all of my tabs (Unlike the stock browser). It also opened a new tab showing tabs I currently had opened on my phone
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I guess it is nice is reloads, but shouldn't it not crash in first place.:o

With that said, chrome will be on of the first things I will load. I want to start migrating away from local apps and start using web based apps so I can have everything integrated, regardless of platform.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] C.Flat:
That was the only crash I have experienced. Much better than the Honeycomb stock browser that will just randomly close and not save anything
