I could have sworn the MediaPad line never got an official release down under, but Coles thinks different, as it’s selling Huawei’s budget 7″ tablet, along with a Telstra Wi-Fi hotspot for $139.
There are some obvious catches here. It’s only running Android 4.0 and the processor is on the titchy side compared to most. Likewise, the Wi-Fi hotspot is the older Telstra Elite model, which means no 4G capability, although it is advertised with 5GB of data allowance.
I’m always a little bemused by tech deals in supermarkets, though. How many people actually pick up tablet computers with their cabbages?
