14 DAY TRIAL // Even though the Transformer Prime is expected to arrive in just a couple of days from now, Asus hasn't forgot about its older tablet models and it has prepared a new firmware update for the original Eee Pad Transformer.
The update is known as version 8.6.5.18, according to Phandroid, and it brings a series of features, such as support for App backup and Netflix pre-installed for US users.
The App backup feature allows users to backup apps and data stored by these apps for easy migration to another Asus tablet, so you can for example continue Angry Birds from where you left off instead of having to start the game all over again.
Other improvements also made their way into this firmware update, some fixing various issues of the previous software while others bring newer versions for the apps installed.
Later down the line, the original Transformer is also expected to get updated with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, so the Asus tablet certainly deserves a second look if you want a cheaper alternative to the upcoming Prime.
