Huawei MediaPad

As a string of springtime device updates continues, Huawei is the latest manufacturer to push out Android 4.0 to eager users. The Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Huawei MediaPad is now live across the globe. The new firmware should work with any MediaPad, but the manufacturer prefaces this by saying that it has only [...]

Despite being available for close to half a year, not many devices have received Ice Cream Sandwich. Another device was added to the somewhat exclusive club today, though, as Huawei brought the goods to their 7 inch MediaPad tablet.

We knew the MediaPad was coming, but we never got a good look at it running Honeycomb before today. It’s a device from Huawei and is the first 7 inch tablet to run Android 3.0+. Acer was supposed to take that crown, but they have reportedly had problems adapting Honeycomb to the 7 inch tablet, [...]

We just got an email from Huawei informing us that their MediaPad launch event is going down on June 20th at CommunicAsia in Singapore. We still don’t know a whole lot about this thing, but they have given us a sneak peak at the device above. Unfortunately, they don’t show anything on the software side [...]

Without providing much more detail than calling it their “smartest, smallest and lightest tablet ever,” Huawei has announced they will be unveiling a new tablet on June 20th as part of CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore.
