Huawei Releases The MediaPad, The World Returns To Bed


Need a 7-inch Android 3.2 tablet with a 1.2GHz processor? Probably, but I doubt this is the droid you’re looking for. This is the MediaPad, a smallish, horribly advertised tablet from Huawei that, for some reason, caused quite a stir last week.

The device has no pricing and it doesn’t look like there will be a Wi-Fi-only model forthcoming, so we shall see how exciting this thing is when it rolls into grey-market electronics kiosks in Southeast Asia come Q3 2011.

It supports 1080P full HD video playback and features a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and 5 megapixel auto focus rear facing HD camera, with HD video recording capabilities.
With HSPA+ 14.4Mbps and high-speed WiFi 11n Internet connectivity, the MediaPad doesn’t just entertain – it keeps you connected.
The MediaPad supports HSPA+ data services, Flash 10.3 videos and comes preinstalled with applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Let’s Golf and Documents to Go.
