Since Android Honeycomb was a little bit rushed, Android 3.1 brings a smoother user interface to the Asus Eee Pad Transformer with new app transitions and an optimised launcher. There’s also new resizeable homescreen widgets, improved 3D performance and an expanded Recent Apps list along with stability improvements and bug fixes.

But our favourite inclusion in the Android 3.1 update is the ability to hook peripherals up to your tablet. That includes obvious things like camera, keyboards and mice but it’s support for Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers that’s most intriguing. Hook one up and you’ve got yourself a makeshift console. Time to fire up Angry Birds…again.
