Asus Transformer getting Ice Cream Sandwich by early February

Do you happen to own an Asus Transformer tablet? Also known as TF101 if you are into model numbers and the like, Asus did promise the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to Transformer owners last week, touting that it will roll out shortly after the one for the Prime (TF201), so that means any time after today (January 12th). Since Ice Cream Sandwich for the Prime was introduced earlier, followed by Asus Singapore’s Facebook posting that went “Hi Gabriele Gab, are you referrring to TF101? If so, it will be getting the update as well tomorrow. Thanks.” (emphasis mine).

I suppose someone at Asus made a boo-boo, since it was subsequently retracted, and as you can see, the Asus US representative had to do some firefighting by letting all and sundry know the real situation. While the ICS update for the original Transformer TF101 will roll out by early February, it will happen in the US and Taiwan first before the rest of the world.
