Well I am basing that stement off of Pastor, who has been heading the Petition thread.
Here are a few of his posts to note:

PastorDroid said:My wifi signal is notably stronger and my speeds average the same rate as my other wirelessly connected devices, I also notice that the drop off rate has decreased substantially. By comparison does it perform as well as other devices in my possession? Signal wise-no however we must learn to lean less on the signal strength indicator and more on packet loss and general speed...in that regard i'd say at least a 60-70% improvement.
GPS is still a sore point but at least I was able to lock onto about 4 sats at a rate of 4 to 5 seconds a piece, I used a cached mapping/gps service from the market and it did a fair job with turn by turn navigation. I think the glitches I noticed were more the apps fault than the GPS unit's fault. The signal was lost on the unit about 5 times in as many miles however the signal reaquired without much fuss.
For outdoorsy types this improvement in GPS would probably calm your fears, if you are a hiker or camper you'd naturally be in the open and you won't have to contend with the aluminum of your prime as well as the aluminum and glass and other interference of your car.
Here's what you should take from this. Asus is at least willing to try/ I'm still standing behind the petition because now its about prinicple, please folks keep signing it. We need Asus to make what they did fpr ,me TOP priority for all TF201 owners without prejudice.
Thanks for reading.
PD
