Another dual-core, 7in tablet joins the fray.
Is it wrong that I noticed that typo as I thought it said something completely different :lol:Quote:
The MediaPad will come pre-installed with apps cinluding Facebook
... and hopefully a cheaper price!Quote:
the MediaPad could find itself a niche in the market under the current wave of nigh-indistinguishable 10in tablets that have flooded market recently, offering similar performance in a more compact frame.
Don't say that - there's enough stupid legal actions around at the moment without having another suefest! :oQuote:
The aesthetics are fairly reminiscent of the iPad
Got a 7" tablet myself last week (HP Zeen) and even though it's pretty damned slow and doesn't have Android Market access, it's actually pretty usable. So I would assume that this Huawei device would be markedly better.
As to the screen size - yes a 10" tablet would be far better for web-browsing, games and video. But the 7" is actually a nice size - bigger footprint than a "nickel n' dime" paperback, but smaller than an O'Reilly reference book, and very good as an eBook platform (if, like me, the page refresh on eInk displays annoys). Fits into a bag or desk drawer very nicely. :)
Just hope they can get the price right - there's Elonex and Advent 10" tablets for < £200 so I'd hope the Huawei was, at worst, the same price, and hopefully cheaper.
