I opened a support case with Asus, but if they don't have a quick solution then I'll likely be returning mine to Amazon as a "DOA".

Anything else I should try before I return it? Attached are screenshots of it after sitting in front of a 6x10 window at work for over 10 minutes alongside my Nexus S 4G (which isn't known for having an awesome GPS).

My firmware versions are as follows:

Android: 4.0.3
GPS: 6.9.24
Wi-Fi: 6.1.1.17
Bluetooth: 9.23
Camera: TF201-0x9900
Build: IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.11.1-20120118

Also worth mentioning is that my WiFi works flawlessly. I think some of these things are just making it out of QC broken. I'm not buying the "aluminum case attenuation" excuse for mine when it gets NO signal at all. Weak signal? Ok, that's fair.
Can you confirm your GPS version? Is 6.9.24 a new release? We are all on 6.9.13.

I'm sorry, I completely fat-fingered that (a human "off-by-one error"). I'm on 6.9.13. I'll update my post.
