Hmmm....this may be a real issue. Darn.

Initially I loved this tablet and for the most part I still do. I did come across one major flaw though. The GPS will not work on this device. Also, I am not the only one with this issue after searching the internet.
To truely test this you must have Wi-Fi disabled so the tablet will only use the GPS for location information. Google Maps says "location information not available." I also tested this using a free app from the Android market place called GPS Test and this confirmed my earlier results. The table will not fix on any satellites.
Despite this tablet being priced $150 below the Xoom, this major flaw was a deal breaker. If I am going to pay this much for a device everything needs to work, especially major components such as the GPS.
I attempted to contact Acer about this issue and they were less than helpful. They had no clue what GPS was on this device. They kept advising me to contact my internet provider to see if the setting were correct. Really???
