Panasonic, Huawei, HTC, Nokia and Sony have already hinted to some of their devices that will make headlines in the following days.
ViewSonic, a manufacturer that focuses on affordable tablets is expected to showcase new products at MWC 2012. Although the company has yet to make an official announcement, rumor has it that ViewSonic plans to unveil a new 7-inch Android tablet.

The selling points of the new tablet will be the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, along with the high definition capacitive touchscreen display that supports 1024 x 600 pixels resolution.
Sources close to the matter claim that the tablet also runs ViewScene interface on top of Ice Cream Sandwich, but this one has been confirmed to be Google certified, which means all Google services will be available out of the box, including Android Market, Gmail, Gtalk and others.
There are few details on the tablet's design, except the fact that it will be a “ultra light” slate, which doesn't say too much for the moment.
Other highlights confirmed include microUSB and miniHDMI ports, as well as miniUSB. A rear camera will be included as well, along with a front facing camera for self-portraits and video chats.
ViewPad G70 will be equipped with 3G support, 4GB of internal memory, 1GB of RAM, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB). No word on the processor yet.
