Chinese OEM Huawei today showed off a tablet device at a conference in Singapore. The company unveiled the Huawei MediaPad, a 7-inch touchscreen slate, which is the first to be based on the latest version of Honeycomb, Android 3.2.

The MediaPad which measures 0.4 inches thick and weighs less than a pound, features a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor. The device sports a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and 5-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of 1080P video capture and playback.  

The device also supports HSPA+ 14.4Mbps and high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11n Internet connectivity.

"The MediaPad opens up new worlds of entertainment for consumers by removing the barriers to tablet ownership, increasing access to a truly high-quality mobile entertainment experience fully integrated with cloud-based Internet content," said Victor Xu, chief marketing officer of Huawei Device.

Huawei did not release information on pricing or availability for the MediaPad.
