Let me know what you think!
great video. added it to my favorites. my dock will be on the way soon. can't wait to try out my Ethernet connection. I would use it for huge movie downloads and such. even for those big gameloft games. it'll download it in no time.
can you do a speedtest on Ethernet connection and post your results vs. regular wifi connection?

updated op to include the requested video!
Can a moderator please move this to the accessories area? I thought this would be the best place to put it, but I guess this area would be the best...

Hi guys, I'm wondering if i should get this transformer prime tablet. I've been reading alot of reviews thats its amazing and i don't doubt that, but also have been reading about the issues its been having (Wifi, GPS, Reboots). So im not sure if i should go ahead and make this purchase. Im posting in this thread cause obviously its about the tablet so you guys if not all many should own one. I would highly appreciate any feedback or recommendation from your part. Thanks in advance
Okay, first, there are a TON of threads on whether the Prime is a good tablet to buy. Searching and browsing is strongly recommended.
Second, that said, I'd say that if you want to use it in your car as a GPS device in place of your smartphone or a dedicated navigation unit, then don't get it. If you don't, then get it--you'll love it to pieces.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
We are getting a lot of false issue claims too with trolls.....this thing is a beast....and is worth every penny.
Mine works great with the exception of the GPS. The wifi is a bit weaker than the TF101, but more or less identical to my GS2's wifi performance. Would buy it again in a flash.

Well I have been all day searching and reading other posts, and yeah i'm more inclined in getting it now. About the GPS i don't really use it on my phone either so its not a big deal. Just Wi-Fi thats what i mostly use since im home all day just kicking back browsing through the web. But thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your time and help.
My WiFi on my prime is better then my Inspire 4g, my Toshiba Thrive(all plastic) and my desktop running a 3 external antenna setup. I haven't seen any of the other issues that people talk about in my C1 serial Prime so idk what all the fuss is about.
Also all the trolls are currently here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534039

Yeah I was seeing that post earlier.
Basically, if you have to use the prime at a location with very weak wifi signals, it might be a bit worse than other devices. Otherwise, wifi works great.

Man I'm glad I found this thread before I hit the post button.
And yes the GPS issue is a none issue for me since my DroidX works fine for that.
Man I want one of these in the worst ways. Now if I could only find one!

GPS isn't great on it, but who needs 10" TomTom? WiFi works OK for me, rest.... SUPERB, enough said

Looks like already out of stock online. Went quick.
Just go to nowinstock.net
It was easy to find my second prime for my wife.
Took a day of looking and I got an email for tiger direct having them in stock.
You dont have to sign up tho.. just go and click the transformer prime tracker they already have set up.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Amazing. Was only in stock for about 2 hours. Why is everyone still buying these when there clearly is a problem with the Wifi/BT system? I don't get it.
San Rafael CA Best Buy has a few TFP and docks in stock right now. Just got to ask them to dig as they are mixed in with the original Transformers.

Looks like it's only for use with the tablet, not in conjunction with the dock.
I'll take it, I guess. Haha

Hopefully this improves wifi somehow, maybe a mod

You'd also need special drivers for it to support wifi i guess.
I actually like the design, thought it would get alot worse and i think i'll take one But they could have made another port on the back side somehow, so you could plug in the charging cable while the dongle is attached.

Cool thanks for link and pictures. Maybe this dongle will improve WIFI for some as well.
Well maybe this is why they wont send my RMA back they were waiting on the dongle because according to the website its been done for weeks now but they wont mail it to me and it went in for wifi and gps problems. maybe now the they will send it BACK!!
Great Article!
MIND OVER MATTER
IMHO it looks like crap...totally ruins the sleek lines of the TFP. Ill take one, but I don't see myself bothering to slap this thing on much. Would have preferred a new backplate.
Looks better than I thought it would, thanks for sharing

Won't work for me either, if TP in case.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
kind of kills the point in a transformer that can't transform after using the GPS dongle
I expect a newer case with this dongle incorporated into the design. I also hope there is a possibility of a pass thru charging port.
P.S. is Asus just giving us TFP owners this for nothing? Is there a mailing list out that we have to sign up to get it?

More information will be posted in the "Unofficial ASUS" sticky tomorrow (4/16), and a sign-up form will be available then. It's going to be free, and available to every Prime owner (at least in the US, but probably worldwide).
Lots of threads on the topic, including that main one.
Looks... beefy? Passthrough charging is almost necessary. Thats my biggest hope atm. Looks like it will fit in the mounts that are out there, too.

I'm thinking I might pass unless I sell the Prime.

OP instead of using the stock browser try dolphin browser, its one of the better ones on the android market. been using it for a little while now and its awesome. Should load that link for you.
the page works on my i-pad ...
Even if you put a wallpaper up that says
"This is an Asus Transformer Prime Quad Core Tablet running Android OS".
you'll still get "Nice iPad" or "Is that the new iPad" because most people are brain dead on technology and Apple gets all the press coverage these days.
Good luck

Yeah I have friends that know that I would never own a device running ios and they still asked if they could look at my new ipad
People, people, people...
You're not taking advantage of a great opportunity here. When they ask 'Is that the new iPad?' say 'Yes - would you like to look at it..'
Show them how cool it is.. how easy to use it is... if you have the demo games, how well it plays high end games. If you have the dock, show them how it plugs in.. etc...
Then when they're all excited... imagine the moment they walk into a Best Buy or even better, Apple Store and try to buy a new iPad with a dock...
*heeheehee*
Sidenote: when I have it in the dock, I get asked 'is that a netbook?' and then I detach the tablet, which looks like you're tearing it off - which just freaks some people.
Be sure to look angry and make a ripping sound when you do it.
"Is that an iPad?'
"No it's thinner, lighter, and more powerful than an iPad."
FACT.
