ASUS has taken to Facebook to quickly acknowledge that they’re hearing the discontent with their new tablet’s (ASUS Transformer Prime) locked bootloader. They didn’t say much but did mention that a statement would be coming soon:
Official statement on bootloader for the Prime coming in a bit. Hang on tight guys.
In the mean time, relax.
Relax, they say. We’re not sure what to make of this, though. Does “relax” mean “please bear with us as we try to explain our reasoning behind this” or “we’re going to be giving you guys what you want in the neat future?”
Can’t say for sure at this point, but at least they won’t be shying away from talking about it. We’ll be eager to hear what they say whenever the statement is issued. [Facebook, thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
