Initial T-Hub press coverage

After sneak previews this week (pictured), Telstra's new T-Hub received coverage on Today Tonight (video) alongside the iPad, Star Trek gadgetry and Back to the Future's hover board.
It has also received a favourable Cnet first impressions review in which the challenge of making the home phone cool was compared with the challenge of resurrecting John Travolta's career pre Pulp Fiction.

Watch for imminent product launch and media campaign, press reports now rolling out.
