Preview: Huawei’s Aussie Android Phones, Tablets For 2011 Huawei wants to become a top 5 handset maker in the next two years, and will be targeting Australia with its 7-inch MediaPad and a new range of new Android phones. I got a quick hands-on this morning, so let’s take a look at specs and availability. The MediaPad runs Android 3.2, a version of Honeycomb that optimises icons for the 7-inch display. The screen runs at 1280×800, and has a pixel density of 217; not quite as high as recent smartphones, but sharper than the iPad. Other key specs includea SIM card slot for 3G connectivity, a 1.2GHz dual core CPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB flash storage, microSD card support, b/g/n Wi-Fi, HDMI output and dual cameras (5MP rear, 1.3MP at front).

The techniques have been specifically chosen because they work on people much stronger than you. Larger grapplers often just use their their strength, size and weight advantages to overpower you. It’s very frustrating to get pinned and smothered by a less skilful opponent whose only advantage is having 10, 20 or 50 pounds of additional muscle.

In the United States, the unemployment rate for tech professionals is 3.8 percent, a vast improvement from 5.3 percent just 12 months ago and far better than the 8.3 percent national unemployment rate.1 With strong evidence of job creation tied to increased adoption and use of Linux, Dice and The Linux Foundation teamed up to better understand the global 2012 hiring outlook for Linux professionals.
