ASUS Transformer Prime, TF300 and Infinity TF700 getting Jelly bean in 'the coming months'

![][1]

Hot on the heels of HTC [confirming][2] 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][3], along with the Transformer Pads [TF300][4] and [TF700][5]. Though ASUS is careful to say it's considering other devices, it's patently _not _promising to upgrade the [original Transformer][6] or the [Eee Pad Slider][7]. No word, exactly, on when owners of those newer devices 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 figure: after all, ASUS isn't known for saddling its tablets with heavily customized skins, which have been known to bog down the upgrade process.
