(Sprint) Galaxy Tab...to keep or not to keep?

I bought a Galaxy Tab from Sprint less than two weeks ago, and it's been pretty useful for me. I like that I was able to do some serious downsizing from my rather sizable notebook PC, without losing too much functionality.

But, I seem to have a decision to make, while I'm still in my 30-day return period.

Judging from the threads, forums, etc., it seems less likely that the Tab will ever see Android 3.0. When such a significant update is released, I would really hate to be left behind.

Now Sprint has announced the upcoming availability of the HTC Evo View, which seems more likely to be included in a 3.0 update.

So I'm looking for your opinions: Given the choice, would you stay with the Galaxy Tab, and take the chance that an official 3.0 release will come out before 4.0 becomes mainstream; or return the Tab, and wait for the release of the View?

I know the Tab isn't all that old. But I've been a Samsung owner since the Moment, and I know that Samsung often sells the hardware of tomorrow, with the OS of yesterday. I'd hate to be stuck with that again.

Thanks for the advice!
