Asus has announced via its Facebook page that owners of its Transformer Pad Prime and Transformer Pad Infinity will soon be able to update their slates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The Jelly Bean OS is said by Google to deliver a faster and smoother user experience compared to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and prior releases.
It offers a slew of new input options, such as offline voice typing, which can convert a user’s speech into text without the need for a wireless connection, along with gesture control, which allows users to navigate Jelly Bean’s user interface with the swipe of a hand.
A digital voice assistant, similar to the iPhone 4’s Siri, is also available, as are new Android Beam capabilities, allowing users to share videos and photos using built-in near-field communication capabilities.
Asus did not announce whether is Transformer Pad 300 would also be in line for an update.
