The Huawei Ascend P1S comes in at just 6.68mm thick, running on a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and Ice Cream Sandwich on a 4.3-inch qHD display.Sadly it still has capacitive buttons, it was probably in the making before …

Huawei is a fast-growing company and is among the many OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners of Microsoft,. Huawei has confirmed that indeed Microsoft has contacted the company regarding patent infringement issues. For months now, Microsoft has been chasing OEM companies who have been selling phones and tablet PC’s utilizing the Android operating system.

As Gingerbread continues to gain ground in the smart phone arena, the for-tablet iteration of the Android operating system called Honeycomb is making parallel progress in the tablet computer market as well.
