The Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet may carry T-Mobile's name, but the 7-inch T-Mobile Springboard is manufactured by Huawei.
It has a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and comes preinstalled with apps like Blockbuster on Demand, Netflix, and T-Mobile TV. The Springboard runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor.
