Next in line to receive the ever coveted ICS 4.0 update is Huawei's MediaPad tab. As one of the first devices to sport Honeycomb on a 7-inch platform, the tablet is on schedule to receive the 329 mb download that is Android 4.0. In addition, the update doesn't seem to be tainted with the manufacturer's version of ICS as it appears to be stock. The only downside, if you consider it one, is that Huawei went the way of Samsung as far as receiving the update. There will be no OTA installation as this will require you to head on over to Huawei's website to complete the upgrade. Enjoy and don't forget to let us know how the update pans out for you.

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.
