If your jaw hit the floor with the idea of a sub-$300 Android tablet from Optus, you should probably get it looked at.

It seems the battle for tablet mindshare isn’t going to be played out between Apple and the Galaxy Tab – it’s going to be between the low-end, lowly specced options from the telcos. Responding to Telstra’s T-Touch Tab yesterday, Optus announced the Optus MyTab, a $279 Android tablet with resistive touchscreen from manufacturer ZTE.
