I haven't taken it outside to try to get a lock. It found my location inside, but not via GPS. I can't get a lock with any GPS device (even my handheld Garmin) inside my house, so I'm not shocked. If I get some time today I'll try to take it outside to see if I can get a lock.

They say the metal back panel interferes with the GPS signal, and I don't doubt it. Personally, my uses for GPS on here will be minimal though. When I'm on the road I can use location-based services on my phone rather than a tablet, but time will tell how much of a problem it may be.

I want to get the dock but nobody had it in stock yet. It works great without it, so I don't mind waiting until the current craze dies down.

The stock Asus Battery widget looks like it displays indicators for both the tablet and dock batteries. I have a screenshot of the widget preview for proof if someone really wants to see it.

I have dozens of unix boxes I can ssh to if I need to do anything like that. I plan on using it as a tablet myself, even if I do get the dock it's main purpose is internet apps + games.

If I need to do anything more complex, I can always ssh or vnc/rdp to another box and do it remotely.

The transformer prime does a bit nicer job of multitasking though, the recent apps button lets you easily swap between running applications or kill ones you aren't using. I'm not sure if that's an Asus thing or a Honeycomb thing though.

I just got mine this afternoon, ordered just before Christmas from Best Buy and it came today. So far, I'm impressed with it.

I will probably not root the thing, and have no interest in custom ROMs, so aside from the impending ICS update it's great for me as-is.

I've been playing on it non-stop since I pulled it off the charger about 3 hours ago and even with all manner of app installing and game playing it's barely below 75% charge.

pfSense 2.1 has been including an IPv6 capable OpenVPN setup with tun for a few months now, though it's still in early development. The client on the firewall is capable, as is the windows client that the export package can generate with an included config.

IPv6 doesn't have NAT in the same sense that IPv4 does. What it has is prefix translation, which can move your devices into a different subnet, but it doesn't (at least that I've seen) have a means to hide multiple IPs behind a single address.

Not that it would be practical for ISPs to track/charge based on device anyhow...

[Disclaimer: I am a pfSense developer, so I'm a bit biased. For those of you who don't know what pfSense is, it's a BSD-based firewall distribution.]

pfSense 2.0 won't officially support IPv6, but there is a branch available that does IPv6 which will later become 2.1. I'm running it on my home router with a GIF tunnel to Hurricane Electric ( http://he.net/ http://tunnelbroker.net/) to get IPv6 even though my ISPs do not have any native IPv6 support yet. The IPv6 support is a work in progress but is complete enough that it will do what most people want/need.

Instructions for the setup and more info can be found on the pfSense IPv6 board here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/board,52.0.html

I get a 10/10 on the IPv6 tests from http://test-ipv6.com/ on all my PCs as well as my Droid X running 2.3.3. If you're already using pfSense 2.0, give the IPv6 code a try, setup a tunnel to he.net, and enjoy. Doesn't take too long at all to setup.
