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
