I just got mine in the mail!!! I applied on tuesday and have already recieved it. Great Job on the fast shipping asus!!!
that was fast..lol. I did mines back when the application opened up for the one day a couple weeks back. still haven't received it yet. probably will come tomorrow. I'm not too pressed about it since I have an engineering sample one already
Same boat as you are, still waiting.
For those already receiving them, is it being shipped via USPS/UPS/FedEx? UPS delivery sucks in our neighborhood
Well the metal parts seem to be soldered on, so I don't want to pry them off. Maybe the guy who is getting two can pry them off to see what's under them. But on the front I tried to get a closer picture

edit: found this http://i.imgur.com/SFwoC.png which goes here if you google search the name http://www.azurewave.com/Product_1.asp which has GPS-M19 http://www.azurewave.com/product_GPS-M19_1.asp, M22 is the next maybe?
fed ex is what Ive seen posted by people. Asus used fed ex to ship the engineering sample to me also. it seems to be their preferred package carrier.
The FCC only cares about transmitters. The dongle is receive only.So the M22 I'm this dongle is a more powerful/upgrade of the one you linked. I tried to find the FCC report earlier on this dongle but couldn't. Ill try this new info and see if anything shows up. But its looking like this dongle unit is alot more powerful/sensitive than internal GPS chip.
Anyone remwber the chip from inside the prime, I know there's pics floating in this forum on it. We can compare them.
Edit:from looking at their product page at other modules, Asus could've added a new wifi module to this dongle also. Not sure if it could stay the same size but it was possible. I can't find a M22 model. This might be something they custom made for asus. We need to find FCC report on this dongle and that will tell us alot more about it. Who will find it first? Lol
status of mine says: shipped!
Can't wait to get mine. My application date was 4/17.
The FCC only cares about transmitters. The dongle is receive only.
Hey demandarin......
can you bend the ear of Gary and suggest to him it is now time to have the engineers put the GPS on/off switch back into the Quick Settings menu. All of the images and such are still in the system files, but they disabled it. Nicely suggest with this dongle, it is now time to put it back so we can quickly turn the GPS on/off with 1 quick click.
I'm glad ASUS came up with a fix, but the fix doesn't allow you to use the dongle and the keyboard attached, or dongle and charge.
I know this has all been said before on other forums, but when you spend £500 on a device that includes a keyboard dock, you shouldn't have to expect an add-on to negates the keyboards use.
A good interim solution, but hopefully ASUS will come up with a better solution, or allow us to trade in our Primes against the TF700.
Thanks for the great post though.
