This is My Next reports from Computex telling us we'll be seeing our 3.1 update next week. To make it even better, Hot Hardware loaded up their Transformer with it and gave us a nice little review. Smoother, faster, less lag, better browsing experience and the typical 3.1 stuff people saw in the Xoom update. Not to mention a dock update with keyboard, trackpad and USB improvements.
Leaked download. Get cracking. Came home to a completely dead TF so I'm charging for a few but downloading it now.
Looking forward to this, and kudos to Asus for being so on top of support for this puppy. Reinforcing my decision to jump early on this.
And I hope this doesn't hit on Memorial Day because I'd prefer to spend it outside in the sun rather than on the sofa toying with my TF.

Some noteworthy excerpts:
significantly more responsive multitasking capabilities and even a slightly more responsive touch interface. Previously, there was a 5 second lag when going from the home screen back to the Books app, so the device could pull data on the eBook out of cache. That lag is no longer and in general, switching between apps is more fluid and responsive. Also web browsing has been goosed up a notch or two, with significantly more responsive pinch, zoom and scroll action.
Overall, the browsing experience feels much more accessible and desktop-like, in terms of user interface and functionality.
Other small updates to the Eee Pad Transformer, that are available to end users now, are improved typing speeds, mouse tracking and USB compatibility. This is courtesy of a firmware update for the Transformer's keyboard dock. In short, if you're an early adopter and jumped on the Eee Pad Transformer when it first hit, your investment just served up a bunch more ROI and your experience just got better.
