Following ausdroid.net I found this bit of information on the launch of Samsung galaxsy tab::

The Australian will be pre-installed on all devices. It's like bloatware, but relatively useful. The App will be free for two months, then a subscription will be needed to continue the service. Pricing of said subscription will set you back $8.99 a month, or $36.99 over a half yearly period. Get excited, news lovers!
That's a pretty cheap deal for you to receive the paper. You don't even have to walk out the door to get it. It makes me wonder with the continuing increased specs and decrease in prices of computer products when it will be cheaper for news papers just to give away these devices.
My pick five years...
