Telstra doubles down on tablets

Telstra has announced that it is doubling its in-store tablet range ahead of Christmas. The Nexus 9 (AUD$479), Samsung Galaxy Tab S (from AUD$599), Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (AUD$499), HP 8 (AUD$199) and Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (AUD$174) are all now available in select Telstra retail outlets. A complete list of stores stocking the new tablet range is available here.

Telstra's Director of Devices Andy Volard said tablets will be a really popular gift option this holiday season. "Interest in tablets continues to increase year on year. We’re seeing Australians moving from single tablet homes to multi tablet homes. And that’s because we increasingly view tablets as a personal rather than a shared screen."
