welcome to the world of the GTab...the perks of rooting your tablet is that you can flash a custom ROM and get rid of that horrible stock OS that comes with the GTab. i know they pushed updates to it to not be as bad as it was before, but no matter how "good" it is, a custom ROM is 10000x better. also a custom ROM will let you actually use that usb port on the side, (not sure if the stock OS lets you, but when i bought mine back in December it didnt). so if your on the fence about rooting, just do it!!
