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!
I want 3.1 NOW!

Agreed, i'm impressed by there software support and update policy. And yes, even rma was very fast with great communication for me. Plus, the officials in the german asus blog respond almost immediately to user questions. All this is a nice change for someone coming from a sony ericsson device

I believe in the Netherlands it issue Computerland.nl that receives their stock today and have it in stores on Tuesday.

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).
Can't wait for 3.1!!!!!!

I'm sure that if they are shipping 3.1 on the newer batches that 3.1 will be out shortly on FOTA. Can't wait!
It seems as though Netflix is now working on Honeycomb tablets but not on our trusty Transformer, I can confirm Netflix will not stream on the Transformer, could this be because of the recent Asus firmware update? Thoughts ? Link Below (Lets us know if anyone gets it working)

I have the same complaint about Gameloft games and other games like Zenonia, why the hell do those only work on Xoom, Galaxy, etc but never Transformer?!? What gives?

I've tested it and can verify that it does not work on the Transformer also. The app installs, you can open the app, log in to your account, browse movies even, but no video playback; it gives an error.

Does anyone know what that error means? As that something on the device causing it or is it Netflix reading that its not a approved device and throwing an error

Not sure who told you it works on Xoom but I own a Xoom and Netflix doesn't even show up in the Market so I can tell you it DOES NOT work on a stock Xoom runnng Android 3.2. I'm sure it works on a hacked ROM but it will even run on a hacked Viewsonic GTablet...
*EDIT*
I stand corrected! See post #12
Mea Culpa
I tried it and no go on the Transformer, but, it works on my MyTouch 4G. Seems wrong somehow.

It doesn't show up on my G2x on the market but it does work if you sideload it. I think the situation is supposedly the same with the Xoom. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the TF :/

Interesting. I'll ask my Xoom forum. Thanks.

As of today, it does indeed work on the Xoom. Thank you! It does need to be sideloaded as you suggested. Below is the Xoom link...

Did anyone else notice that Netflix was pulled from the Market that was available to 8.4.4.11 3.1 updated Transformers? It was there since Saturday and I even downloaded it. Gone now... As it has been posted it did not work on the Transformer for anyone that did download it...
Its no longer in market... when ran says there is an update...t though can't find app in market to update....

Maybe we will see something soon!
Unlikely. More likely they're returning us to the status quo by putting out an update to remove the (didn't really work anyway) support for the Transformer (and maybe other models).
So just an FYI, I checked my Market on my Viewsonic GTab and Netflix is there! I downloaded it and I am watching movies right now streaming from Netflix! OMG, the GTab is Android Froyo 2.2! It is a Tegra2 chip but I would never have figured it would work on this legacy tablet before my latest and greatest Transformer and Xoom. LOL
Wow...
We might be getting some love from the netflix gods

Goes to show that Netflix is just screwing around. If they would "allow" the Transformer to work.. it would work.
I'm in no rush. Netflix is pissing me off lately. First their crazy price hikes and now they're playing God to which devices can access their services.
Screw 'em.

What are your thoughts on the upcoming release?
What will be is fixed, what will be is added and what is still broken? Flash still an issue?
Browser typing lag fixed? Some report it better, some say it's still the same.
[Q]Will you be able to retrieve the update when being on a custom and/or rooted ROM?
No, you will have to go back to stock, or wait for a CWM build/Custom ROM to be released.
WiFi problems reported, are you seeing them?
SD Card support? http://blogs.computerworld.com/18692/android_32_upgrade
Do you like the new mouse cursor? Or what should we call it now?
'Default app not set' problem? See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191106

I scanned it yesterday to check for updates and nothing happened. After reading the tweet I decided to scan again and it literally took at least 6 minutes to tell me there was no update. Muahahaha can't wait!
Uhm, WW version is planned for August 2nd
To unroot or not to unroot
Hopefully someone can root this quickly
I wonder if this will fix some SOD/reboot issues.
And this isn't development.

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...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Guys - it was my mistake that I closed this thread along with the other 2 duplicates. I apologize. This one should have stayed open.
Looking forward to it ...
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.
Good night to you all
So I know I'm crazy, but not insane. Checked the TF microsite here last week and plainly saw Netflix was listed under the 'Special APP' section. Happened to look at it for something else today and it's gone. Just an observation.
I, for one, am bummed.
Yeah, yeah, I know I can root and patch...
damn..
ASus wtf you doing man?!

I like Netflix. I like the Transformer. Why can't they play nice? But with this simple Xoom patch, it works fine on the Transformer.... So let's hope Netflix(?) does something about it? Or is it Asus(?) needing to do something? Or could it be Nvidia(?) I don't know!

Well, Netflix is not officially supported on any Honeycomb tablet other than the new Lenovo. Could be that Asus asked for permission to included the necessary lib file and Netflix said no (exclusive contract?).

Dear Customer,
I apologize for this issue. I have been informed that there is no native Netflix app, there are certain certification process that needs to be completed before a tablet can use this service. We do not have a date of when certification will be complete. I apologize.

Yes! Keep on look for the tweaks of DragonFire1024, and you are lucky. I bought an HD 8 2017 hoping to root it, which isn't rootable. . HD 10 is rootable quite easily.
Also, good luck!
