  • MicroSD 
  • Bluetooth 2.1 EDR 
  • GPS/AGPS

The model I have here comes with 8GB storage. Trying to find out prices... Price is $549 with 2GB data included.

Any idea specifically what the CPU/chipset is?

Further specifications here: http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mediapad-4264.php

Seems like a pretty decent price as well

I was going to get this but the release date kept getting pushed back, so I got the Asus instead. Looks like a nice little unit, but the 7" screen seems a little small too.

GSM Arena lists a 256k colour screen!?!
Surely this is a mistake?

Otherwise it looks like a worthy device, for the price.

GSMArena is not always correct.

What, there is something wrong on the internet?

P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Any idea specifically what the CPU/chipset is?

A commentator on GSM Arena has said Qualcomm, but as above, take that with a grain of salt.

Thought it may have been, any chance of loading up Quadrant and checking it out? From memory that will tell you what CPU/GPU it has

Seems from google at least it seems to have the same chipset at the Sensation and Touchpad

So that probably means it's a Qualcomm MSM8660?

Interesting that Quadrant reports only 1 core though.

I would think that it would be the MSM8260, the only difference is is that the 8660 supports EV-DO

It'll be something on quadrants end of things, AFAIK there is no single core chipset with the Adreno 220

Assume it's all good to go from the Android Market and all?

Yes, it's a "Google" device, with Market and everything, not a Chinese rip off.
