The model we received was the 64GB variant, which goes for $599.99 on Newegg. We're looking at a 10.1-inch Super IPS+ 1280x800-pixel screen sporting Corning's Gorilla Glass, NVIDIA's Tegra 3 quad-core SoC, 1GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of internal storage all wrapped up into a device with 12 hours of battery life on a 25Wh Li-polymer battery. Even for a tablet that is close to twelve months old now, the Transformer Prime is still specced quite well. Specifications, Pricing and Availabilityīeing the world's first quad-core tablet, it feels like so long ago that we were hearing about quad-core tablets on the horizon and now the market is filled with them. There are a few more Transformers in the wild, too, but today we're going to look at the Transformer Prime.

It was released in Taiwan in early December 2011, and reached the US later in the month.

Ah well, better late than never no? Of course, you can always make a beeline for the support page of AT&T’s Galaxy Note to check out the instructions on downloading and updating the software on your precious i717 (that is its codename) to give it some Jelly Bean goodness.ASUS' Eee Pad Transformer Prime was the world's first Android-based tablet to be released with a quad-core processor inside, which is quite the achievement. Strangely enough, there was no mention of Google Now in AT&T’s changelog, as that is normally the first thing that would see mention in most Jelly Bean updates. Of course, with an update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, this means one would be able to enjoy a slew of new features, with the main one being the introduction of Popup capabilities for notes, video and browsing. Earlier today, we talked about how the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon Wireless was on the receiving end of the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update, well, it seems that AT&T does not want to be left behind in the eternal war between all mobile carriers in the US, and from today onwards, Samsung’s Kies servers will also deliver Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to AT&T customers who are using the first version of the smartphone/tablet hybrid in the market.
