Hard to say but probably.
I wouldn't buy anything based on what it may be able to do . Buy it because it does what you want now. There is no guarantee it will ever be any better than it is now..
Maybe, but Sprdtyf350 has it exactly right. Buy it if you like what it does today. TnT Lite and the other custom roms have some pretty cool functionality already and for me that is half the fun of having an android tablet. If that wasn't my interest, I would probably get an ipad.
This G-tablet has an amazing amount of support from the Android community here and elsewhere.
I think it is a safe bet it will be supported, at least as a custom ROM from the community here, the hardware is quite advanced.

There's no way to tell for sure 'officially'. I don't believe in promises and I don't believe in updates until they're hitting my device. As others have mentioned I'm sure it will get strong support from the devs here on XDA.
Personally, I think VS will also support it pretty far into 2011 - they would be stupid not to. If you take a look at all the stuff coming in Q1 2011, they are all based on very similar 'guts' as the G Tablet, in other words there's really no reason the G Tablet can't stay 100% competitive with/against all the new stuff coming, if VS keeps the software current and as bug free as possible.
The good news for us is, even if VS doesn't....we'll still have all these ROMs based on the plethora of tablets running on similar guts as the G Tablet coming out. Sort of a win-win and exactly why I decided to keep mine. The only thing you really have to worry about is shoddy/faulty hardware which it doesn't look like the device suffers from in excess.

No as can been seen by the general lack of honeycomb issues thread.

When honeycomb is released the GTab will get honeycomb. At this time no one has honeycomb. And yes I'm including the sdk emulator port on the Nook. That is not a working version of honeycomb just the emulator running on an sdcard. The GTab has all the same hardware as every other Honeycomb tab being released so it will probably get a port of honeycomb
today is the prerelease of the xoom and in a week it is its release. lets see how much it takes to have the honeycomb.
No pressure, no pressure.....
Someone get us a Xoom nvflash dump and I bet we'll see a GTAB port.
What will be the name of the honeycomb port? Gcomb?

So, Nvidia isn't going to release a os image themselves?
Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
Ice Cream Sandwich Details:
- Brand-new launcher and app drawer, with screenshots of both featured exclusively on RootzWiki
- Blue Themed
- Camera now has a panorama mode (not pictured)
- G mail has been totally re-themed to go with the new OS (not pictured)
- Nexus S will be receiving ICS via update, but the "Nexus Prime" will be getting it first, then other devices will follow after.
- Will launch with Google Shopper and NFC Enabled devices will be able to utilize those features
- The little icon in the bottom right, looks like a tray with multiple apps in it
- Google search bar embedded on very top like Honeycomb
- Apps/Widgets launcher a lot like Honeycomb
- This release is still very early, notice the theming of the power tray
- Mostly UI changes - many older devices (< 1 year old) should be able to run it

This thread is pointless because if I wanted to read about all the features about the new Android Ice Cream version then I would head over to a tech blog or something like that and from what I can tell is main goal is getting people to "like" a facebook page which AGAIN is pointless........

What is this topic about?
says the CEO of Notion Ink.
Source: AndroidCentral-Link
The CEO of Notion Ink, Rohan Shravan, is at it again with news about the Ice Cream Sandwich source code release, saying it will be released November 17. While it's tempting to just toss this aside as another rumor in the ICS/Galaxy Nexus craze of late, Mr. Shravan has a track record that shows he's usually right. Last year, he did the same thing with the Gingerbread release, accurately predicting more than could be a good guess, and just last month he told everyone about the OMAP chipset and Ice Cream Sandwich using them as a reference platform. When he talks, it's always worth listening, and the Nov. 17 date has already been thrown out there as the European release. If we see source code on the 17th, the 18th is going to be a very fun day for a lot of us.

Sure hope this is true. Been getting bored lately as there are no truly unique roms out there at the moment.

This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

These are great news for Android Community!!! I think that now it's time to adapt more apps to tablet modes with the new 4.0 unification ;-)
Yup, that's the best part of ICS: unified apps, more the merrier

Agreed. Good to see the Android Market catching up to the App Store.
Rly Great. Its growing and growing
Great! 400K market entries. Now let's get to 400K apps!
Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm glad the market is growing - but this is expected. Android is selling like water in the Sahara... And devs like water!... Wait, I think I'm not getting my own analogy...
Hello people!
I want to share my news with you. There was many threads about release date of Ice Cream Sandwich in last time. Because I am journalist, and also IT-tech in my newspaper - I asked official Polish HTC help desk about release date. They answered me very quickly (2mins).
Here is what I received:
Witaj xxx!
Dziękuję za pytanie odnośnie Ice Cream Sanwich dla modelu Sensation.
Jeżeli informacje zostaną oficjalnie potwierdzone, model ten przejdzie testy pozytywnie, prawdopodobnie Ice Cream Sandwich pojawi się pod koniec lutego.

and this can be translated like this:
Hello xxx!
Thank you for question about Ice Cream Sandwich for Sensation.
If informations will be officialy confirmed, and this model will pass all tests positive - propably Ice Cream Sandwich will be released at the end of February.

The special thing about it is once it's released the source code should be released which woudl give the devs the base for AOSP
Yet another topic with unfounded speculations on the ICS releasedate. Can't we just stop these useless discussions and just wait for it?
Sorry man, i just wanted to share this info with all of you. I know that everyone is waiting - I'm waiting too, and for me this is great news
I'm happy to read your shared info, anything that's presented for the right reasons in OK by me

No worries. This is the whole purpose of a general sensation forum; so.that users can discuss any topic about the sensation. People can chose not to read or participate in the discussion.
I myself am happy with the current leak, so while I am hopeful that your information is correct, I won't be upset or disappointed if it is not.
Hmmm..The end of February for Poland , and most likely it is not the first Country/Region to receive the FOTA ,i think ICS update is getting so close .
not so fast there...

trust me, everyone does not like it. it is a resource hog and you can not customize the size of widgets which sucks. i use launcher pro. however, people who like htc do buy their phones because of the way sense is integrated with android. to each his own.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing the info, hope you're right.

Sense UI is what distinguishes HTC androids from other androids. If one doesnt like the Sense UI why buy an HTC phone? Buy a Samsung, SE, Motorola etc!
As a long time n1 user in addition to the senny, I will say that it will get here when it gets here.
