Asus Transformer TF101 receives firmware update
I’m a couple days behind on this, but better late than never.
For some odd reason I decided to check the system update option on my tablet, and apparently it was at the time that they just rolled out a brand new firmware version.
Firmware 8.6.5.18 brings some improvements. Most notably was the Netflix to work properly. Also, there’s the new App Backup application, which I haven’t used yet, but some people have said it’s been buggy. But you also get:
- Improved WiFi connectivity
- Google Update: Books, Maps (location accuracy for transit navigation), Market (new tablet-friendly UI)
- ASUS Sync (option to turn Sync on or off)
- .Zip support for Email
- MyNet for improved device search
- Improved browser compatibility
- Italian input method added
- Supernote performance improvement
- Polaris Office improved compatibility and large file loading
So, if your tablet hasn’t told you so already, go ahead and get the update. Click on Settings / About Tablet / System Firmware Update
