Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 gets Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update

Asus sent out a Tweet yesterday that their Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 is now on the receiving end of an OTA (Over The Air) update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system – for owners of the Eee Pad Slider SL101, do you find the same to be true for you? This is not the first tablet from Asus that received such an update though, as other Asus tablets that have already gotten the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment would include the Asus Transformer Prime and the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Here is a quick refresher on just what the Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 carries – it will sport a 10.1=inch display at a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, but when placed side by side with the Apple iPad, it loses out in clarity as the pixel density on the Asus device is a low 149ppi.

A dual-core 1.2GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor lies underneath the hood, with 1GB RAM helping keep the device stay afloat of things as you run a myriad of apps and games on it. 32GB of internal memory should be adequate storage space for the average user, while a 5-megapixel camera at the back will be able to capture video, with a 1.3-megapixel camera in front doing video calls as and when required. Just in case you need additional storage space, a microSD memory card slot is in there, accompanied by a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
