The much anticipated Transformer Prime came out and there are a lot of mixed reviews out there. There were a number of articles that pointed out issues with GPS and Wi-fi due to a hardware flaw. ASUS did release a patch for GPS, but it wasn't considered a true fix because the real issue is supposedly with the all-aluminum body and how it's blocking the signals. This is the reason why the iPad isn't all-aluminum... the Apple logo is where the antenna is. And on the 3G model, there's a plastic strip at the top.
The other side of this is most users on Amazon are giving the tablet 5 stars. There are mixed reviews about the wi-fi, with some saying it works great. Feedback on GPS is pretty consistent though. I wouldn't put much weight on GPS because I hardly think that's a selling point for a tablet, but the wi-fi is important if it's an issue. I'd have to see that for myself because it's hard to tell from reviews how each users' home is setup.
