Touchscreen scene

The unit features a 5-megapixel camera on its rear, and wireless functionality, including wi-fi, Bluetooth, AGPS, and a 3G+ connection.

If you want to get your hands on the Tahiti, you will have to part with £69.99 for the tablet, and sign up to a £25 a month data plan for no fewer than 24 months.

That contract will give you 1GB of anytime data, 1GB of quiet time data (for off-peak daytime browsing), and unlimited wi-fii hotspot data.

A fistful of data

If you're currently in the market for a new mobile handset, however, you can get the Tahiti for free when you purchase the Orange San Francisco II handset on a £41 / month price plan.

This Connected plan gives you 2GB of anytime data to use across both devices, 200 minutes, and unlimited texts.

While the unit itself is extremely cheap, it will be interesting to see whether punters are willing to purchase a tablet with a monthly bill attached when there are so many toll-free alternatives on the market, especially one running an older version of Android than its upcoming competitors.
