Huawei S7 Tablet PC Software

The Huawei S7 runs Android 2.1 and it looks like there will be an additional user interface layer on top of this to improve usability further. Once it’s shipped we’ll have more feedback from users on how this works. As it’s running Android 2.1 there should also be access to the Android Market where it’s fairly easy to download lots of apps including eBook readers, Facebook, music applications etc.

The Huawei S7 is expected to ship in August and available to pre-order from Expansys for $360 in the US and ?300 in the UK.
