Ditching My G-Tablet for a new tablet

Hey everyone,

I bought a Viewsonic G-Tablet a few months ago (at the wrong time -_-) and have been pretty satisfied with it. I had a few gripes such as the poor... i mean TERRIBLE viewing angles, the fact that no roms support the DUAL core of the tegra 2 (you're limited to only 1 core), and the cheap construction feel... along with the fact that i have had to install custom roms on it to even GET it to work functionally. The problem with this is that i've almost had enough. So i went to best buy and looked at some of the new tablets to be released recently (Asus transformer, Acer iconia, toshiba tab 10.1, etc.) And i'm wondering if its worth it to basically pay about 150-200 bucks to upgrade from my old tablet to a newer one...

If you think I should, please explain why... and if possible which i should get and your experiances with these tablets

Don't get the iconia, it's a waste of money.
In my opinion, Android tablets just aren't "there" yet. Remember back when two or three cellphones were running Android? They were literally pieces of crap. But after a while, the OS and the hardware were improved drastically. The only tablet worth buying at the moment is the iPad, or the Motorola Xoom. Android tablets will eventually become better, but I would say wait a year or two before buying another android tablet.
But yeah, it's worth getting a newer tablet.
