Seems like all Transformer Prime were on ICS during the Asus event in taiwan.
Too much showing the camera off, I want to see the ICS apps like Talk and Gmail running on the Prime.

I see plenty people talking about ICS on the Prime, why doesn't it ship with ICS etc.
well I've been thinking about that a great deal this week. Of course, whatever it ships with, it ships with, but Samsung have a head start on ICS because of their work on the New Nexus.
On the other hand, everyone else is playing catchup because the source code has only just been released. The prime will ship with whatever it ships with and I'll have that.
but I would rather the Prime ship with a rock solid Honeycomb release with optimised apps and let ICS mature for a while before Asus release ICS for it. Asus do regular releases anyway so I'm not put off by lack of ICS at initial shipping.
I do remember reading (if it is true), that Google actually sent some of their ICS engineers to ASUS to help them set up ICS on the Prime. If that is indeed the case, we should have a top notch version of ICS when it does become available. But I won't be upgrading my Honeycomb until there is Flash support for it.
I don't think Honeycomb will ever be called "rock solid" or "mature". The sooner it gets ICS, the better in my opinion.

Agreed. I have a feeling that Google's been spending the lion's share of their time optimizing ICS rather than fixing issues (particularly low-level optimization) in Honeycomb. As Google has said themselves on numerous occasions, Honeycomb was a stop-gap measure to get _something_ running on tablets. It was meant purely to mark time until ICS is released.
I think the Prime will be very good on Honeycomb. I expect it to be simply awesome on ICS.
You might also note, Nvidia is helping Asus to optimise there Tegra 3 for Ice cream sandwich.
I would rather have Asus, Google and Nvidia working together on the most awesome software available and release it day one on the most awesome hardware rather than have a clucky software made by Asus alone on what could be a tremendous succesfull tablet.
I, personnaly, couldn't care less if the update comes after HC on the Prime, but because I want Android tablet to succeed (more Apps for us in the end) I'm willing to wait a few weeks if that what it takes to give this device all the chances it should have. And I think marketing it with Honeycomb is a really, really, really bad idea cause, even in a shinny box, if when turned on it's the same thing as all other tablet already there but 2-3 times their price that won't appeal much to commun people.
Can be wrong now, but isn't first with ICS that all cores can be used and the Tegra3 power comes to use. Belive that HC can't take advantage of all Tegra3 goodness. Just ICS will give all android devices a good speed boost and the hardware will finally have a software to work "together" with.
For example the scores in Antutu Benchmark from Asus Prime.
HC ~ 6500
ICS ~ 10000+
So would I be Asus I almost don't want to release the Prime with HC. Instead I should wait for ICS so the user performance and feel would be as good as possible and all reviews are being made on the final product and not a product that will gets some updates later on that will make it even better.
For me personally HC or ICS doesn't matter because I now what coming and have used android and several tablets,
but maybe those that are new to Android and tablets will get disappointed to run with HC that isn't so good and have some problems.

ok my mom and dad each have an asus transformer tf-101 running 4.0.3 ice cream sandwich and they would like to be able to put photos on the removable micro sd cards in their tablets so they can take them to Walgreens and get professorial prints done and the Walgreens we have can get the photo off the tablets because the computers they have do not have the drivers for mounting an android device so we have to use an sd card. but i was looking and saw in honeycomb and ice cream sandwich sd card are just read only is their a way to make them read/write?
Thank you for any help,

When I first bought the Galaxy tab 10.1, I believe it was on ice cream sandwich. I usually use it for youtube and games. Once I updated it to jelly bean, whenever i watched youtube videos it always lags and never runs smoothly like it used to. I tried fixing it by factory resetting it but it would still constantly lag. Would downgrading back to ice cream sandwich work ?
I believe so. This seems to be an issue in jelly bean.

How do you downgrade the tablet ? I can't seem to find out how to.
I've resorted to watching videos in the browser, not perfect but once it's buffered far less lag.
Somewhere I read that its because of the processor in our tabs that causes the problem- it just sucks watching and rendering Youtube videos in the native app.
It makes sense. I mean how is my Galaxy S- a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU- able to play Youtube videos better than the dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 in my tablet?

This can't be fixed (or maybe in the near future)
This can't be fixed, since this problem persists since the official android 4.0.4 update from samsung got pushed out. Our tablet doesn't have the optimal drivers for android 4.+ (atleast, thats what I understood from the previous topics) ... I have been struggling with this problem for a long time. The only solution is to get back to android 3.2. I hate android 3.2 but since the tablet does where I bought it for back then (watching youtube, 1080P movies) I have no other solution then to use it.
I'm now on a custom rom android 3.2 (galaxy task v14) not overclocked and youtube works perfect. However, I hope that when Android 4.4 becomes available for our tablet (hopefully within a month) this problem got fixed since Google announced that this android version will be more ''lightweight''.
Should I sell my Stock TF201 on ebay and buy a nexus or keep my TF201 and install a rom on it?

[Problem Description]
Will there be an upgrade beyond Android 4.1.1 or have you abandoned the TPtf201.
Dear Richard,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Emma and it is my pleasure to help you with your problem.
In order to enable consumers to enjoy the best experience, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime TF201 starting with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and then update to Android 4.1 JellyBean.
In view of the Jelly Beam 4.2 upgrade, asus assess 4.2 will occupy larger hardware space which will lead to insufficient storage space. And it need to remove a number of preloading software and function.
In order to ensure a good user experience, ASUS recommends users to use Android Jelly Bean 4.1 and will not provide 4.2 or other upgrade services.
Thanks for your kindly understanding.
Once again, thank you for choosing ASUS products.
Have a great day!
If you continue to experience issues in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Emma

Depends on what other headaches you want..
I have been running with the Nexus 10 for some time as a stand alone tablet.. And while it is a great tablet and has done the job I wanted and handled just about everything I have thrown at it, it does come with a stack of problems as well.. in my case after not even two years the screen has developed a yellow tinge on white backgrounds.. Google it and you will see its a problem that both and Google and Samsung are none too keen to tackle. As there is no replacement screens around to change it. Only refurb ones that are fetching a good awful price on ebay.
I have been playing with the TF201 with Zomi-x and are liking it.. while not quite the screen that the N10 has it seems to handle it well enough..
Also I am playing with the TF300 and my old TF100 again..
so even thinking that the TF700T might be the call as plenty of support for it within the community.
So its all up to your user experience and budgets..
but for a run around, the TF300T is a nice little tab and the price you can pick them up for on ebay now is great.
My tablet is running Ice Cream Sandwich and is pretty slow with some apps installed (like Dropbox, Google Photos, etc). Since Google announced Android Go for cheaper phones with slower processors, I am wondering if I can install the lightweight Android Go OS on my tablet to make it faster.
Thoughts / comments are welcome.
Android Oreo (Go edition), I don't want to say "I'm sure someone will port it for the TF201t" because I'm not going to be that person, but if history is any indicator 7.1.2 is just about run it's course v27. Just had out, subscirbe to to the 7.1.2 thread and the TransPrime group and check in ever few days. I'm on 7.1.2v26 and hope to see Oreo one my TF one day.
