Excuse me while I be childish, petulant and spiteful.

[Blairware]

Ahh, where to begin? I know! Does everyone remember all the many posts re: GPS, where one after another popped in to tell us how little GPS meant to them? I do. Including several heated arguments about the value of GPS on a tablet. Everyone must remember the classic "I don't need GPS on a tablet, I have my PHONE for that! " All the way to blasting people for being upset with Asus for a fairly major screw-up. That was the argument: Who needs GPS on a tablet? Like we who made a huge fuss were being "fussy"

Here's where us "Fussy GPS lovers " get a huge laugh, as all of a sudden, the majority of posts are "Bring it, Asus! " and "Can't WAIT TO TRY THIS! "

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I even remember Demandarin saying a few times "GPS is a dead issue, get over it." (which always got me steamed)

But now... everyone wants their dongle. Granted, there are still plenty who could give a rats ass about any of this. I am just having my moment of childish glee, and if you think thats immature, then all I have to say is:

Neah neah ne neah neah!!!

Oh, almost forgot - Where the hell is my GPS Kit? Wait, let me guess... They ran out (since all Asus needs to do is make enough to cover shipped units, and we all know Asus can't count) and now they are on backorder.

GPS is a not-issue for me. I'll continue to use my phone because my car is setup with a phone holder and everything.
I will tell you I'll take ANYTHING (within reason of course) for FREE! That is why I say Give Me, Give Me, Give Me. If Asus sold the GPS kit I would not buy it.

 

[robproctor]

I'm just curious how a GPS dongle is supposed to fix all the other problems with the Prime? I think this is more of a gimmick than anything else. I believe Asus is trying to pull a fast one on us. Don't be fooled!!!

Let me add an analogy : It's as if we all bought brand new top of the line BMW's and come to find out they all have an oil leak, transmission leak, and a broken cigarette lighter. So when we took it to the shop to have it fixed, BMW gave us all a brand new add on cigarette lighter "for free!!!" to "fix" the broken one. And now you are all happy, even made a thread about it.

I love my prime, it's arguably the best tablet on the market. GPS is not the focal point of this product its so much more than a navigation tool. But Asus really should fix the wifi and reboots.

I didn't mean this post as disrespect to the OP.

WOW!!! So you are saying that I can now have TWO....TWO....dongles to play with while watching porn on my Prime.....

Awesome! Now my right hand wont be jealous of my left any more....



Life is good....get over it....lol....

your analogy is flawed, the GPS dongle makes the prime not a prime, as it adds extra bulk to it.... your BMW gets everything FIXED, while keeping the initial structure, the prime doesnt. it needs a add-on dongle.

Wait why do you need GPS while watching....TV?

To be an accurate analogy BMW would take a large spoiler and add it too the front of the car, fill it with butane, make it detachable, make people stop driving to attach and remove it, and make it cover the headlights so you can't use both the lighter and headlights at the same time.

LOL!!!! So funny that you used BMW as an example. They are horrible.....horrible...when it comes to a recall.

I have owned 9 BMW's (5 of them ///M cars....4 M3's and an Mcoupe) and have club raced with the national BMW CCA, so I am very familiar with their Customer Service....lol.

My 2001 M3 took 3 years for BMW to recall and fix the main bearings......thats a big deal.
My 1995 M3 had the rear shocks push thru the sheet metal in the trunk due to a weak design. Never acknowledged by bmw.
My 2000 M coupe has a reputation for the spot welds in the trunk to start tearing.....never acknowledged.....also a BIG deal.
My 2002 bmw 325 has a problem with the subframe mounts tearing in the rear, and front shock towers showing stress cracks.....never recalled....lol

I could go on.....

That is why the Mcoupe is getting a rest this race season, and the Lotus Exige S is getting the crap run out of it....

BMW makes Asus look like mother Teresa.



I know, I know, it was just an example, but I just found it kinda funny.



Sorry......go on with the bora-phyll

GPS on the TFP was supposed to be a convenient feature similar to the fridge in this car

The fridge didn't work...so Asus came up with this as the solution

Now we should ALL be happy?....hmmm ok ..sure.
You don't see the need for a gps/fridge in a tablet/car?great i'm happy for you. None of this should matter to YOU.

Even though I'm on the "GPS is unnecessary side", this post was hilarious.

Meh gps. There are more pressing software issues with the prime that need to be fixed asap.
The dongle is great and even though i dont use GPS i'd get the dongle if its free. Its just nice to have the option.

Anyways i'm good. Prime was the best purchase i made in a long time and me and my wife are having great fun with it Basically planned our whole weeding on it Its just so much more convenient sitting on a couch and handle stuff instead of being bound to a laptop/pc on a table with mouse and everthing.

LOL!!!! Yeah me too! If you meant "wedding" and not "weeding".....lol.

The only time I get interested in planning the wedding is when we use the Prime together. Now if we could figure a way to use the GPS during our planning , it would be a win win....


So long to the single life my friend.....i have 40 more days till its over....

You know - you're aren't forced to read threads... and you'd think with a title like one this thread has - you probably should have heard loud warning bells...

Yet you read it anyway.

*Just to complain*.. just like the guy who posted the original post in it.

In other words, you're actually making his post jump to the top - making more people read it - and actually doing what you're complaining about.

Have you considered getting councilling for this clearly self-destructive psychological problem?

EDIT: I suspect most people here don't think XDA is ruined at all or in any way by one thread or even one subject. Drama Llama much?

 

[Swiftks]

I'm closing this thread not because I agree or disagree with you, but because the last thing this section needs is another flame fest / spam thread. Your opinion has been stated. In the future, try posting it in one of the other dozen or so GPS threads in this section.

That is all.
