Today I happened to check the Huawei MediaPAD web-page to find the Android 4.0 ICS update. It’s fairly a straight forward installation process, where you have to download this 328.96MB zipped file. Once extracted, you will find  the following highlighted files and folders. Open the ‘upgrade’ folder and copy the ‘dload’ folder, which will contain the following files, to the root directory of your microSD card. Then insert the SD card into MediaPad and switch it on. If everything runs well, you will get the following screen, and all you have to do is follow the screen instructions. P.S.: I tested this software S7-301u V100R002C232B002 with Dialog, Airtel and Hutch networks and had no issues with call and data.

Friday, April 30, 2010 When we tweet what’s happening around us, we share not only our thoughts, but also web pages, photos, videos,location…anything. Mobile phones are increasingly part of our lives, and we seem to be doing everything but making phone calls. Reading the news, watching a YouTube video, and taking photos at events like the World Cup are things we expect to do on mobile phones – sharing our experiences on these little screens should be just as easy and fast as on big ones. When apps work well with each other, sharing becomes as second nature on machines as it does in person. The Android platform is really good at that, and we’ve worked with the Android team to make it super easy to share what’s happening. Today we are excited to announce that Twitter for Android is available in Android Market! Twitter for Android is a fantastic [...]

The YouTube mobile application for Symbian phones have been updated to version 2.4.4, which now supports login to your YouTube account, so that you could watch your favorites, your subscriptions, your playlist and the videos that you uploaded.
