GPS dongle - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Just went to Pulse and heard that asus is offering a gps dongle on their website if the gps doesn't work. When I read closer, it directed me back to xda, but I couldn't find any thread talking about a free dongle. Can anyone confirm that ASUS is doing this? And if so, how do I sign up to get one?
Thanks for any replies

Yes, there was a 20+ page thread with all the details and the whole thread completely disappeared from the site yesterday afternoon. I would guess that someone from Asus complained.

Does anyone know where I can vet info about this?

I heard that they are making an official announcement soon (the 16th I think not sure)

Wow! Really? So does ASUS tell xda what they can allow to posted on their site all the time? I come here to educate myself based on USERS experiences not what a manufacturer deems I should be allowed to read.

I believe that any company can have "propriety/inside" information removed, if the item was not meant for public consumption. And until they release details, it would be private corporate info....I think that all the different reports that you see today all came from the original email that was posted on XDA in the removed section.
In the past, I've seen Microsoft do the same thing when someone published a ROM for a windows phone that had not been released.

And exactly what does this information have to do with Transformer Accessories?
There is already a thread in Transformer General about this update. Yesterday there were three but the two newest ones got closed because of there being more than one. It probably won't be long until this one gets closed too.
@hitekredneck precisely nothing
of course you could have had it bumped, or even read it was posted from the tablet realised I'd probably dropped it in the wrong forum by mistake, kept quiet and not posted anything. I do of course say, could have.
But failing that thanks for the incredibly useful reply. Appreciated.
Mods, can you please move the post to the correct forum section for the OP. Thanks

Transformer Prime TF201 Discontinued?!?!

There have been massive bombs on the Asus facebook page (North America) about asus discontinuing their products??!?! can anyone confirm this? The closest proof I have is this website saying that its discontinued. If anyone knows, that would be great!!
I have a website saying it on excaliber pc.com (for some reason, it wont let me post a website)

First: OH MY FREAKING GOD, ANOTHER THREAD ON THIS RIDICULOUS ALREADY DEBUNKED RUMOR!
Second: Do you mean, ASUS discontinuing ALL OF their products? Because certainly we know that's not true. Right? RIGHT?
ok, I have not seen any threads on this. how is this debunked? and im only talking about the TF201 (stated in the thread title)

No offense, but seriously? You can't find any threads on this? Crazy.
It's debunked because in at least one of those threads that you can't find, an ASUS rep has stated unequivocally that the TF201 isn't being discontinued. Certainly, we have to go by his word vs. random speculation based on confusing and unclear retailer out-of-stock verbiage?
Guy at bestbuy here told me they didn't expect anymore stock and they pulled the display materials.
Awhh **** I do not want a discontinued tablet! We won't have any developers!

ok, thanks for the update. Still makes you wonder though with the bombardment of hate feeds on the prime. Hope they did make a "new batch" of them that improves its problems. Doubt it though

Looks like Asus gets a big fat FAIL for communicating with their vendors also.
So is it or isn't it? I don't want a product which was in stores for like a month and then pulled back. I mean, what the F are those guys there over at Asus doing?

Why it will be the best performing quadcore tablet! Because of the resolution! Will be lower than the other ones! Everyone will be playing shadowgun at 30fps and you can play it at 60fps. And it will be a limited edition! Plus it has one of the coolest names for a tablet!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Apparently an Asus rep said that it is not discontinued. Honestly said, its hard to find out if its true or not. Then again though, they are selling alot. Im not sure though how many are returning theirs back. But if I had a product that is failing, I wouldn't tell people that its becoming discontinued.
TF201-Not Discontinued
Quoting Gary from Asus: "The TF201 is not discontinued. I have no idea how many times this needs to be said but the TF201 is not discontinued."
Although the product may not be discontinued, it does feel like ASUS is not committed to this platfom given the information retailers are providing.
Can ASUS please state:
1) Is ASUS continuing to manufacture the TF201?
2) How long does ASUS expect to continue manufacturing the TF201?
3) Is there a reason why some retailers are no longer accepting orders and why other retailers are just not even selling it anymore?
4) Is ASUS committed to the Tegra-3 processor?
5) How long can buyers expect to receive firmware and other software updates to the TF201 platform?
Appreciate your help with putting this to bed.
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
My hope is that the current model is being discontinued for a newer model with a fixed backplate, and that we early adopters can exchange our models for the newer one. Otherwise...well....I don't know what to say.

Here.
Don't feel too bad, I missed it at first glance as well. It's under "Mobile Phone" listed as T20/Pad phone (where T20 is the Prime forum, and Pad phone is the Pad phone forum.)

What a empty forum. Good that you posted it so more people get aware of it existence.
Think that posting problems and buggs there will easier for Asus to see and give support than posting on other forums that Asus isn't watching.

Can't find it

Done (+1 ASUS TF300)
+1 (soon to be former TF101 user)
please get these mofos out of here ASAP...lmfao they need their own section or stick all their threads in the OG transformer section. since that is the device its replacing.
Personally im fine having TF101, 201, and 301 users in one Transformer group. maybe made a different subgroup for programming for the 101, 201, and 301 since custom roms will likely be slightly different but apps and games and general discussions often carry over on all three.
For instance, the dock connector is the same on all three tablets. Im trying to get a pinout for the dock connector however having data spread across two forums, and if this carries across THREE forums will break any progress.
Look what they did for the I9100, theres a seperate section for just the I9100G however general works for everyone, no segregation needed.
Food for thought. i vote no.

i agree with with you but that's more of issue how the WHOLE site is organized. i saw a thread somewhere where something similar was suggested but didn't see any reply from admins/mods. unless that gonna happen a separate 300 is the best option we have.
