The Huawei Ascend D quad was announced just yesterday, so we thought it’d be worth visiting the Huawei stand to (a) snap some pictures and film it and (b) try and convince them to change the company name so it’s easier for us to spell. Sadly there was …
We said we’d bring you shots of the newly-announced Huawei MediaPad FHD and here they are. It does, if I’m honest, look a helluva lot like an iPad. It’s got a solid construction, well designed and was pretty darned quick when we tried it. Unfortunately there only appears …

So, the Galaxy Beam. Is it any good? Well, we took a tour around the Samsung stand this morning and tried it out. It’s being shown off in a dark room, and I made the unfortunate mistake of asking “do things work better in the dark?” Apparently it …
