Best CHEAP Android Tablet? - Review of the My Tab from Optus

The Budget end of the Android Tablet marketplace is hotting up with some fierce competition, one of the newest to enter the ring is the "My Tab", built by ZTE, branded by Optus and churning along with a 600Mhz CPU and Android2.1 available with pre-paid date plans, it's a contender for the best value android tablet on the cheap end of the spectrum, so lets put it through the review gauntlet and see how it shakes down.


"The NEW Pre-Paid Optus My Tab

The My Tab gives you the ultimate freedom to stay connected with friends on-the-go. With WiFi and 3G connectivity, you can surf the net, play games and watch videos on its quality 7" resistive touch screen. Powered by Android™, you'll also gain access to the thousands of apps that Google's Marketplace has to offer, and its sleek design and lightweight frame mean you'll want to take it with you wherever you go."

ooooooh hes a pottymouth  DISLIKE

But a good option for a cheaper and better tablet would be the vizio tablet which i saw at sams club for about 200 dollars.

[Blunty3000]

@roysmellmyfart "potty mouth" what the fuck are you four years old? Get teh fuck out of here ya dumb cunt.

[mitchwn1]

Why does it say "Yes, Optus'? I think putting that Yes ruins the name of it.

[Blunty3000]

@mitchwn1 ... because it's an Optus branded device, sold exclusively through Optus here, and "yes, optus" is their standard branding phrase. duh.

@ihab145 well if you look at it it was 1 year ago and it available outside the us

[girlmastergeneral]

I loved your comparison comment of the bicycle vs the ninja LOL

@darren55555555 I think he said there's an app for watching youtube videos but you can't watch those videos through the web browser.

[ihab145]

Good review but i disagree it isnt the best budget tablet.

[psfan3000]

I like your reviews. I got the Toshiba Thrive for ten dollars more because of the Black Friday sales. Talk about more bang for your buck. =)
