The GPS Dongle promised by Asus has finally arrived, and we have picture, and quick first impressions to share with you. First take a look at the pictures then read the first impressions.
First impressions the dongle is super light and pretty thin overall. The design reminds me of the look that the latch on the dock has. The dongle came in a matching color to my tablet which is always nice and doesn’t look to bad when attached to the tablet. The dongle is attached to the tablet using the proprietary 40 pin connecter and two latches. Once connected the dongle is on there nice and sturdy and doesn’t seem to be too much of an annoyance when using.
Things I don’t like about it are you can’t charge or use the dock at the same time because it takes away the required port. Second thing I do not like is the dongle is a little hard to slip on and not that easy to quickly slide on and off without worrying about scratching up the tablet.
Expect a full review and test to come with how the dongle actually performs.

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
