With the Windows 8 wave oncoming quick, it appears to be AT&T that’s taking on the mobile bit of the universe first, here with the ASUS VivoTab RT with 4G LTE amongst others. This device is one that we’ve seen before – announced back during IFA 2012 first of all. It’s got an NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3 TE processor inside, works with Windows RT (that’s essentially Windows 8 for tablets, for those of you that do not know), and a 10.1-inch Super IPS display.

This device works with ASUS’ own TruVivid technology for a “remarkably vivid and brilliant viewing experience” – enhancing an IPS display is a feat, and ASUS is ready to take it on, so we’ve seen. This device works with 32GB of internal storage and will be appearing on AT&T’s 4G LTE network rather soon. Just like the Samsung ATIV Smart PC for AT&T revealed earlier, this device will be out by the end of the year, more than likely in time for the holiday shopping season.

This tablet has a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution for a lovely sharp experience and runs with 2 GB RAM inside. You’ll be working with NFC abilities and a docking keyboard as well. This device looks rather similar to what we’ve seen from ASUS’ transformer series in the recent past, particularly similar to the ASUS Transformer Prime. Have a peek at our ASUS Transformer Prime original review for a closer look at what ASUS does in the hardware department – then stay tuned for this Windows-toting experience.

Just as it has been with several AT&T devices announced today, no pricing or release date has been dropped for the ASUS VivoTab RT. It does seem like a lock for 4G LTE, but we’ve yet to get absolute final confirmation on the date. Stay tuned for the release of this and a whole new torrential downpour of devices from AT&T and manufacturers galore, soon!

Are you looking forward to the ASUS Padfone 2? According to a leak, it seems that we can expect the device to be announced come 16^th of October. Now thanks to the guys at Eee PC.it, it looks like we might have more clues as to what sort of specs the Padfone 2 could be packing under its hood. For starters we can expect a 4.7” display with a resolution of 1280×720. It is also expected to feature a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor along with a 13MP camera. Other features include WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC along with a 2,140mAh battery. No word on which version of Android it will be running on although according to an Antutu database spotting, the ASUS Padfone 2 is expected to come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at the very least. Hopefully on its alleged announcement on the 16^th of October, it will see an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Either way since none of this is official at the moment, we suggest you take this with a grain of salt for now, but do check back with us on the 16^th where hopefully we will have more details to share with you guys!

For those living in Sweden, there is a good chance that your ASUS Transformer Prime tablet has received its Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. While that’s all and good, what about those of us living stateside? Well the good news is that if you’re living in the US and you have yet to receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for your ASUS Transformer Prime tablet, it seems that ASUS has put the update on their website, allowing users to download it if they wish. It should be noted that this means that you will need to download and manually install the upload via sideloading, so if you have no idea what that is about, perhaps doing your due diligence before proceeding might be a good idea – either that or you can wait for the update notification.

For those who are familiar with sideloading and don’t want to wait, head on over to the ASUS download center and search for the “TF201” (without quotes). It will then take you to your tablet’s firmware download page where you will be able to download the update which is 318.98MB in size, which will also bump your tablet’s firmware to V10.1.2.15.
