Well that was quick. The popular Asus Eee Pad Transformer Android tablet has started receiving its official update to the very latest Android 3.1 version of the tablet OS, with update notifications hitting European Transformers right now.
It’s an over-the-air update, too.
Thanks to reader Peter for the tip, who couldn’t resist getting in a dig at the poor XOOM owners out there…
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case. The Eluga’s powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is running a 4.3″ OLED [...]
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Some camera samples taken with HTC’s quad-core Android monster.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags. To that end, we’ll be covering a few Galaxy Nexus-themed items over the next few weeks, starting with the FlexiShield Case. Review submitted by reader, writer, gamer and occasional [...]

/ June 1, 2011My Asus Arrived this morning. It’s on charge now, will be updating it to 3.1 later.
If SO impressed with this kit. It’s REALLY good. A bloke at work just had a toy with it, and put his iPad2 upon the noticeboard at work. LOL….

/ June 1, 2011I did it first thing. It’s a great machine – pity the charger is so flimsy. I’m on my 2nd Asus now, may have to exchange it for a third as the charger’s falling to bits. Asus, pull your finger out, it’s a bad design flaw. Send new ones out.

/ June 1, 2011Great, looking forward to it! My transformer with dock should arrive on friday, and this kind of update-behaviour is exactly what I hoped for :)

/ June 1, 2011Let’s hope it will fix some of the issues the tab has:
video playback – speed and some files not working
mynet dropping the connection
slowdown
a few crashes

/ June 1, 2011Can confirm – this is defo happening – OTA – takes about 10 mins to complete end to end, worked a treat. Didn’t have time to explore but confirmed the presence of 3.1 on the “about tablet” screen.

When I press “Check Update” in settings/About Tablet/System Update,
all all I get is
“There is no update currently available for your device.” :(
I’m in the UK.

/ June 2, 2011I kept forcing check last night with no joy, but I turned the pad on this morning and it kicked off :) There are a few extra little programmes (a magazine reader and a movie editor by the look of it) and it seems that the whole thing is running a bit quicker, a bit smoother – although this could just be a placebo effrct.
I’ll run some movies and You Tube when I get home tonight tio see how things really stack up.
