As if ASUS didn’t have enough problems with the whole GPS debacle on the Transformer Prime, it turns out a number of users have been complaining of random “lockups” ever since upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich. While it doesn’t seem to be a wide spread issue, there have been enough complaints that ASUS has promised to address the issue next month.


Now here’s a deal you won’t want to pass up. Right now, Amazon Wireless is offering the Android 4.0 packing Samsung Galaxy Nexus for the amazing price of $99. Of course this is for new 2-year contracts, but if you fit that description, here’s your chance to get the latest and greatest Android device at a ridiculous price.

They’ve been releasing industry leading tablets, fast updates, and even have price point pegged with their $250 quad-core tablet announcement. ASUS is so far ahead of the Android tablet game, that not even Google can keep up. That’s right, ASUS is set to deliver Android 4.0 to patient OG Transformer users, they’re simply waiting on Google.
