But unlike some of the cheap tablets we’ve seen over the past few months, the Huawei S7 has a reasonably fast processor, a 3G modem and some telecoms are already bundling the tablet with mobile broadband service plans.
CarryPad noticed that it’s already available in Austria, where you can pick up the tablet for 99 Euros up front and 29 Euros per month for a 5GB/month data plan. And the folks at derStandard have posted a review of the tablet.
