[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
Before I begin, let me just say that I believe in netiquette....this is why I decided to even join this discussion. Many of the rom authors here (and esp. Roebeet) have been so very helpful, personally so, and some of the community members just plain rock, so I'm not going to just bow out without saying final "Thanks".

I finally let go of my G Tablet recently. Not because of any huge issues.

I love the device, but I wasn't willing to spend 400+ dollars on another tablet, that's my reason down to the core. I think the Transformer has exactly what I want and I decided to sell my GTab before it depreciated any more. I got $299 for it locally so I feel lucky and have no regrets - I basically rented it for 5 months. The GTab was a great first foray into tablets for me. It was and still is actually, one of the most powerful tablets on the market and imo one of the best values out there right now. It's just too bad that the whole staples debacle and bad pr took such a toll on it as a product.

I'm not going to sit here and list problems because frankly, I was lucky again, in the sense that I never had huge issues. I messed around on a few ROMs and went back to stock without problems and the only thing I can say I genuinely wanted that I couldn't get officially and so it gnawed at me, is the market. When it was revealed that Google was somewhat locking down Honeycomb more so than pre-3.0 Android, I decided that I would take a chance to recoup some of the cost of the GTab and hold out for the Transformer or Iconia Tab (a chance in hoping they really are released at the "leaked" price points); currently the Transformer is winning because of the ips screen and the base/dock but we'll see. If I knew for 1 minute that VS would get Honeycomb, I'd have kept it - but as all this is uncertain and I'm not a huge fan of modding, I did what I had to do. Is that so difficult for some people to get?

In the end it's about what we want as individuals. I don't understand why some people are so critical toward those deciding to sell their GTab, even if they haven't "given it a real chance" or "seen it's true potential". Granted, I know it's a little annoying to see some of the complaints against the GTab, but we have to remember that these devices represent different things to each individual.

I would also have definitely kept mine if I thought for a second I could justify owning 2 tablets, but since I can't I made that choice - I think that's what many others have done. I see that there's something coming with 1. more ram, 2. a nicer screen, 3. hdmi built in, 4. Android 3.0 (aka official market toting OS) at a very reasonable and unXoomish price and I jumped on it. If in June a tablet with a 10inch IPS screen, better resolution, 2GB or RAM, 32GB of storage and all the bells and whistles hits the market and I can sell the Transformer (or whatever tablet I decide to buy at the end of April/mid-May) and buy that device for 50 bucks more or w/e, you bet your butt I'm going to do it. Eventually the upgrades and features are no longer worth it (as I didn't think the Xoom was at all worth the price) and I'll settle with something for the long term.

If that makes me some evil turncoat scum, so be it? In my mind, I'm being a value conscious consumer.

For some it's all about the newest on the market and they'll always want what's 'next', for others it's about weighing the value of a product along with personal want/need, and there are those who can pick up another 2 or 3 tablets without a second thought. Is there anything wrong with any of these scenarios? IMHO, no...because to each his own.

As I mentioned, I have my sight set on the Eee Transformer or the Iconia, and if either of them go over their $399/449 respectively leaked prices then guess what? I'll simply source another Gtablet and scoop it right on up.

So with that, a huge thanks to all the ROM builders, thanks to the Gtab community (and especially to the less hostile, more understanding folks) here and thanks to the VS GTab forum mods for making it a great place to read and enjoy.

I will of course be shadowing these threads as an ex-GTabber (since I won't be able to share or be vocal with GTab experiences or tips or more so in my case, questions, lol) but I'm sure I'll see a few of you over on the Tranformer or Iconia Tab forums when they're released worldwide.

Take care and Good luck.
