Nope, not for now.
I do have the 3G version too and there's no sign of the update...how long do we have to wait? I hope it will come out today...
Well, although I finally got ICS TW to run on my WW TF101, I'd look forward to the prospect of the 101G version - people would derive 3G modules from it and I can test my dongle again to see if it works.
Asus announced that the TF101G wasn't getting the update until some time in March.

I really don't understand the ASUS update policy.
Is that hard to attach the 3g kernel module to this release ?
Those who pay more, have to wait a little bit more, geeezzz

You think if it was that easy you would have to wait till March to get it?
so we must wait again or someone make version of ICS to TF101G
i hope so.

Mine came OTA at about 1:45 PM CST
Big sucker, took a while. 2 reboots, some rearranging of files, and it was done.
Do NOT try this on a low battery, you WILL regret it.

Did they say anything about the Asus Eee Pad Slider in the email?
Reps on the ASUS Facebook page have mentioned twice in the last few days that they have no plans for ICS on the Slider. And, the rep on the ASUS NA page even said that the slider isn't sold in the US...

Hello,
I have not found anything on the subject here, but a french tech site has reviewed the upcoming version with the french dock with honeycomb 3.1 ! It looks smooth, and the first batch are being delivered to customers right now. We should now quite fast if they are delivered this way !
You can see it working with 3.1 here at 2:00 with resizeable widgets :

And he talks about it from 1:48 saying that it should come out with version 3.1.

Nice find! Do you think there'll be some dumps available on french dev sites perhaps?
edit: very smooth indeed! Look at 1:15 when he's swiping like crazy. Mine is only smooth like this since I oc'ed it... stock was rather laggy
Very Cool! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the update.
We don't know for sure if they will be delivered this way ... mine will be here on saturday. If they are indeed coming with 3.1 we should be able to get a dump. I don't know how to do it, but I could either learn or we'll find someone to do it.
I saw the responsiveness and speed of the touchscreen/interface, it is indeed really fast ! It looks nice, the only drawback he is talking about is the delay between hitting a letter on the keyboard and the screen updating which is annoying.

Where did you order it from? Are you expecting the tablet itself, or the bundle (tablet + dock)?
There is a batch coming in of 150 transformers to the benelux. I hope they also come with 3.1! Mine is on it
But even so if this is not so, it means that 3.1 soon will be available, and we will be able to update the transformer.
Asus is doing very nice!

This would be great, my main problem with the transformer is that it can't play youtube HD fullscreen and appearantly that should be fixed with 3.1.

I ordered a bundle tablet with dock from Darty. They don't have it on shelves because the supply is too short so either you order it online (but the stock is not correctly updated), or you go to a physical store, ask for the product and pay it. They get it delivered to their store within 48 hours. I ordered mine yesterday at 7pm and it will be here tomorow morning.
You should be able to do the same at Fnac stores too.
The first ones who got it without the dock are reporting 3.0.1 honeycomb version, so it seems that they are not delivered with 3.1. Cnet must have reviewed a beta unit ... which was working perfectly ! so 3.1 is not far away but still not available.
I've just ordered mine (16 GB + dock) from Fnac with 24 hours express shipping. Unfortunately I didn't see your email in time, before placing my order (it would have been almost 30 euros cheaper going with Darty, without having to pay for shipping).

I am very pleased that they at least gave us some date not like with froyo for my vibrant! It seems like Samsung is very excited about this update as we are. Lol.. My prediction is that they will release an ota date on wednesday like they did with the the actual unit itself and we will all have it by Friday next week, but who knows... Haha

Didn't Taiwan come out first for the 3.1 update? Or do you mean the most recent 3.1 ota?
I don't think there will be any more major updates coming after 3.2 so would be a good time to root my tf101.
I'll be EXTREMELY disappointed if the transformer doesn't get ICS via Official FOTA!
I was thinking: since the TF specs page on the Asus Web site now lists the Netflix app, I'd think that Asus has a real incentive to get 3.2 out there (which will presumably include said Netflix app). Otherwise, they're basically engaging in false advertising. So, since they haven't removed that reference (as far as I know, and it's been pretty widely discussed on the 'nets), I'm guessing that they definitely plan on pushing this update out pronto.
Which is cool. If 3.2 does come out tomorrow, and includes Netflix, I think the TF will be the first shipping Honeycomb tablet with official Netflix support.

I have no doubt whatsoever that we'll get official ICS on the TF. It flies in the face of reason to assume otherwise, I think. Seriously: what good reason would Asus have to NOT update the TF to ICS? Compared, of course, to all the very bad reasons...

Guys - it was my mistake that I closed this thread along with the other 2 duplicates. I apologize. This one should have stayed open.

Does ICS stand for Internet Connection Sharing????
The Netfilx app and being able to surf the net through my HTC Touch Pro 2 (rooted WM6.5) are my two biggest complaints with my 4 day old Transformer. Whether these are in the ASUS release of Honeycomb 3.2 will be my decision maker on whether to root or not.
Hope this fix browser issues and lag in potrait mode.
I am very excited for 3.2! And also I have a good feeling for us getting ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich).
I really hope that 3.2 update will solve slow portrait mode issue, laggy browser and slow pdf scrolling.
My 2 years old Ipad is silky scrolling through any type of files and I hope that Transformer will be too.

Hahahahaha and a double LOL @ this thread. As an early adopter Xoom owner (got it the day it came out), and this really goes for anybody who has owned a Xoom for longer than 6 months, I'm used to software and features (4G anybody?) being implemented by everybody but Motorola first. Hell, with Motorola's track record and commitment to customer satisfaction, you should expect your official ICS to be released about mid August.

I would imagine that the GED Xoom will get ICS before Motorola push it out to non-GED Xooms.
I would also imagine that GED Xoom will get ICS before TP...
Unless Moto are taking full responsibility for the GED Xoom the same as the non-GED xooms - I would have thought they would want the GED to get ICS ASAP really...
Moto can then take their time and make sure stuff works really well with the Moto update for non-GED xooms...
As we have seen Google using ICS xooms at live shows.
It must mean its pretty stable, who would risk a crash on a live show when they could have honeycomb on it ( slow but not much crashes apart from the browser)
So Google having a working ICS for the last few weeks and no sign of sharing it it worrying.
If Asus do get the first ICS tablet out in the market beating the only GED tablet available, what does that say for future of GED tablets? does Google care about the tablet market?
The only reason I want ICS is that there is a slight hope the browser will be stable. So many large websites just crash. Normal websites hang lucky to get more then a few tabs open.

And yet the Verizon Xoom is actually running the latest version of Honeycomb (3.2.4) while the WiFi Xoom is stuck on 3.2.1. haha

The differences in the versions have to do with fixes and features that are specific to those devices, ergo, the 3G/4G's 3.2.4 isn't any better than the wifi's 3.2.1.
From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721
Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown
Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.
In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.
Good times.

I'm using a GNex since its release and I can tell you this: you'll be stunned. Not so much from the interface (which is very close to HC) but from the overall smoothness. I eagerly wanna try paulburtons ICS port, but I gave my TF away to a friend for 2 weeks
Yeah, I have ICS on my Nexus S, and I'm super excited to get it on my TF101. Most of the basic interface ideas come from Honeycomb, but very refined and improved. And yes, much better speed.
Just got ics alpha on my epic 4g.
