Huawei announces the MediaPad, saying it's the first 7" tablet carrying Android 3.2-- the OS' version optimised for 7" devices (rather than 10").

It carries an IPS capacitative touchpanel, with a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor providing power.

Otherwise all the tablet standards apply-- x2 cameras (1.3 MP front facing, 5 MP rear facing), Bluetooth, HSPA+ and wifi connections, HDMI port and a number of pre-installed apps (Facebook, Twitter, and the like). Being an Android, it also supports Flash 10.3.

Huawei says battery life stands at around 6 hours, and an extra storage option comes through Huawei's own Hispace cloud-based solution.
