Asia Bizz: Chinese mobile-telecommunications equipment giant Huawei has announced their new 7-inch MediaPad tablet. The company has said that the tablet will be the world’s first 7-inch tablet which will be based on the famous Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system.
The tablet will be powered by a dual core 1.2 GHz supporter. In addition to this, the MediaPad will come with a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, along with a 1080p HD video playback, auto focus and HD video recording.
