"Asus is very close to Google, so that when they have Android 5.0, I think there is a high chance that we will be the first wave that offering Jelly Bean update," said Benson Lin, ASUS' corporate vice president, as quoted from TechRadar on Saturday (3 / 3/2012).
Unclear, when Google introduced Android Jelly Bean. But rumored, Google will introduce Android 5.0 or Jelly Bean in the second quarter of 2012, or about next April to June.
