Huawei brings MediaPad tablet computer to the Philippines

Months after Huawei introduced it at the 2011 CommunicAsia in Singapore, the MediaPad is finally available from your favorite local IT retailers.

Running on the Honeycomb 3.2 build of Google's Android mobile operating system, the MediaPad comes packing a 7-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, encased in a 10.5mm (or 0.4 inches) thin body frame.

The MediaPad is Huawei's take on what consumers want from their tablets.

This 390-gram tablet computer is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor and includes a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-megapixel auto-focus main camera that also shoots HD videos.

This dual-core Android Honeycomb tablet also moonlights as a gaming platform.

It's not as pretty as that tablet from a certain company named after a very popular fruit, and its battery life, at 6 hours, is not exactly groundbreaking. The MediaPad, however, comes with some features that are noteworthy, to say the least.

For example, it offers 1080P full HD playback. It also comes with support for Flash 10.3 (Hmm. What would Steve Jobs say about that?)
