The Asus Transformer Pad TF701T has got the Android 4.3 update already, 4 days before it was actually going to be available. The update was to be sent from 18th November but the update notes as well as the download is already out. This update is available on the Asus website and you can download it right away, as well as can check out the long list of changes that you would be seeing in this.
