June 2014 came and gone. No news / announcement on A80 upgrade?  The announcement made by AUSUS remain for ref. for ever?
ASUS has ditched the PadFone Infinity owners once again?

The Firmware version is so old that many Apps can't be installed.
It takes long long time to boot up besides many other bothering issues.
We have been pulling over so far thinking that new version would make the things better.

It seems it is pointless to trust ASUS.
It seems AUSUS is just busy to churn out Hybrid-products with soon-to-be-outdated configuration/ specification of very limited RAM both for PC mode & Tablet, no SSD etc., at times when flagship-killers are coming out every day with next-generation features/ specifications and being sold a fraction of the prices of those flagship models
