Lol. How does this stuff get through testing. Are they seriously suggesting that at no point in its entire development has anyone turned on the GPS to check that it works?

A mate of mine was round yesterday with the original Transformer. Its a very nice piece of kit, but I cant help thinking its more than the price of a laptop...

Windows 8 cant get here quick enough, tbh.

I know I don't get how simple things like GPS can get through development testing.

Not really interesting in windows 8, installed it on my laptop a while ago and hated it.

Quite happy with android on a tablet, I have a laptop if I need windows. But unless the horrible windows 8 start menu is gone I'll be sticking with 7.

I also use splashtop remote desktop if I need to use windows on my tablet.

So far bud, I am happy, GPS is niggling at me and I'm not sure at this point what I am going to do. ie Send it back and not sell my TF101.

I really don't want to do that because I do love it. Screen bleed is really not an issue like I said before I have not noticed it at all apart from when its booting.

Its quick and smooth, camera is much better than the TF101, flash is a nice edition.

Its nice to hold & lighter than the TF101.

Looking forward to ICS & got everything crossed the GPS can be fixed?

The GPS sounds more like a hardware issue tbh :( I wouldn't have much hope of a software fix. Can't say i've ever used it on the tf101 however so while it's bad, if that's the only major negative it could be a lot worse :)
 
One thing I have noticed in fluorescent lights at work the outside is a fingerprint magnet, and somehow I have managed to lightly scratch it, despite being very careful with it like I am with all my tech.

Got a feeling this will be getting sent back to Dixons or Asus as a matter of principle regarding the GPS anyway, in the hope that a replacement will be better. Some people are not having any issues with GPS which I find very strange..
 
Been looking at getting one of these but I have a question...

Played with a few on display in stores and all of them have exhibited a nasty shearing and drop out of the picture on BBC iPlayer.

Is this a known issue?

Solved by firmware update or such like?

This is a problem with Adobe Flash rather then the tablet, basically Adobe completely suck at developing for something other than Windows.
