T-Mobile USA Debuts 4G SpringBoard Tablet by Huawei

T-Mobile USA has just announced a powerful 7-inch SpringBoard tablet manufacturer with Honeycomb and 4G capabilities. Although the device is manufactured by Huawei, T-Mobile USA decided to retail it under its own brand.

With SpringBoard, T-Mobile USA expands its tablet portfolio to provide customers a range of 7-, 9- and 10.1-inch products fully compatible with its HSPA+ network.

According to the carrier, the 4G-enabled SpringBoard is one of the most affordable tablets offered by the carrier.

However, T-Mobile has yet to announce the slate's price options and release date. The only details offered by the carrier state that T-Mobile SpringBoard will arrive in stores in time for the holidays.

The tablet comes with a brilliant 7-inch HD capacitive multi-touchscreen display with 16 million colors.

While there's no mention of the storage amount, T-Mobile USA states that the tablet comes with microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

Software-wise, T-Mobile SpringBoard runs Honeycomb 3.2 operating system and offers a range of pre-loaded entertainment apps, including Blio eReader, MobileLife Family organizer, Slacker Radio and TeleNav GPS Navigator.
