Transformer Pad TF300 buyers may have had to compromise on screen resolution, but the little slab’s software support is second to none — ASUS just announced that its entry level Transformer Pad will be its first to taste Android 4.2.2. Customers in the United States can grab the Jelly Bean update over the air starting today, while international users will see regional rollouts throughout the month. Own one of the company’s higher end slates? Sit tight, ASUS says Android 4.2 should roll out to the Transformer Pad Infinity and other devices in Q2 2013. A wait for the virtuous, to be sure.

If you’re an owner of ASUS Transformer Pad TF300, you’re in luck as it seems that ASUS has begun rolling out the highly anticipated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to your device. This was announced via ASUS’ Facebook page where they also stated that other Transformer Pad series of Android tablets can look forward to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean updates in the future as well. According to a comment left by ASUS, the update was pushed out yesterday which means that TF300 owners should be receiving notifications on their tablets that the update is ready for download. Of course we expect this rollout to be staggered over the course of the next few days/weeks, so fret not if you have yet to receive the update. In the meantime if you don’t own the TF300, be sure to stay tuned as we will keep you updated when ASUS begins the update for its other tablets as well. So TF300 owners, have you received the update yet, and how is it treating you?

Hot on the heels of HTC confirming a Jelly Bean upgrade for select handsets, ASUS released a statement (pasted after the break) assuring tablet owners that all of the company’s new tablets, at least, will be upgraded to Android 4.1. So far, the outfit is committing to updating the Transformer Prime, along with the Transformer Pads TF300 and TF700. Though ASUS is careful to say it’s considering other devices, it’s still not promising to upgrade the original Eee Pad Transformer or Eee Pad Slider. No word, exactly, on when users will get a taste of Project Butter and Google Now, except that it should happen within “the coming months.” Hopefully, of course, that’s just an outside estimate: after all, ASUS isn’t known for saddling its tablets with heavily customized skins, which can bog down the upgrade cycle.
