    Huawei MediaPad build quality

    According to ZDNet UK's sister site CNET Asia — which managed to get a little hands-on time with the device — it will come in two varieties: one that is Wi-Fi-only and one that includes Wi-Fi and HSPA connectivity.

    During the hands-on time, Crave said the device felt like it was solidly built, from what appears to be a single piece of metal, similar to the unibody design of handsets such as the HTC Desire HD.
