Huawei unveils MediaPad: 7 inches of Honeycomb bliss, dual-core style
I bet you dream about 7-inch tablets. Well, not like that anyway, but you get my drift and currently on the market you are not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to picking up the right 7-inch tablet, minus the original Galaxy Tab. Now however Huawei aims to change all of that that with their newly unveiled MediaPad. The MediaPad will ship with a 217 pixels-per-inch IPS capacitive touchpanel display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera amongst other specifications. Overall we’d say this looks like a very tempting package indeed, and that’s without it running the first ever market ready version of Android Honeycomb, 3.2 (ahead of 3.1, amazingly).
Android 3.2 is apparently and according to Huawei Honeycomb but optimised for 7-inch displays making it far more efficient than the 3.1 latter. As for size, the MediaPad is thinner than the original Galaxy Tab and around the same as the original iPad, which although might seem a step backwards in the size 0 world, Huawei have made up for this by packing into the MediaPad HDMI output, HSPA+ (14.4Mbps) 3G support, 8GB of internal storage (as well as a microSD slot) and it’ll run Flash 10.3.
Release date wise you are looking at Q3 for Europe and the US, however pricing is yet to be announced, but we’ll keep you updated. Hit up the video below to see the MediaPad in action.

That looks utterly amazing, and if I ever doubted buying a tablet, those doubts have gone now. Dual-core, 7 inches, Honeycomb, HDMI, SD expansion, what more could you possibly want!?
