Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Google's Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system, previously only available on the Google Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, is to be made available on the Asus Transformer Pad TF300 tablet.

This marks the first time that the operating system, which allows multiple users to have different setups on the same device, will be available on a non-Google tablet. The free software was available in the US Taiwan and some other regions last week and is available in the UK today.

Owners of the Asus Transformer Pad should receive the update automatically. In addition, it is available to download from Asus online.
