It's not just Telstra but Optus and likely telcos around the world wanting to cash in on the tablet phenomenon, taking on Apple and traditional PC manufacturers for profits in the entry-level market, even as Optus prepares to sell Samsung's Galaxy Tab from the 10th of November.

Telstra has launched its 'entry-level' tablet computer, the T-Touch Tab, aiming to conquer the mass market through a basic but workable tablet experience and cheap pricing that is so similar yet so different to the iPad it's clear why they're at opposite ends of what is fast becoming a very profitable scale.

All this talk of true iPad competitors or true iPad-killers, with 'alternatives' to the iPad, is still mostly hugely hilarious hokey bumkum.

It might not have the elegance or even the capacitive touch-screen of an Apple iPad, but Telstra's Android-powered T-Touch Tab is surprisingly good, coming in at an affordable price, having Android market compatibility and being remarkable in that it's actually a great ultraportable tablet that stands out in a sea of cheap and useless Android tablet competitors.
