Ladies and geeks, meet the Tattoo MediaPad.

Looks familiar?

If it does, then it’s probably because it’s basically one and the same with the Huawei MediaPad launched late last year.

Aside for the Tattoo branding that gave the Huawei name the boot, the only other thing new with this 2012 edition MediaPad is its OS. It now runs on Ice Cream Sandwich right off the bat. Everything else? It’s pretty much the same – 7-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel cam at the back, 1.3-megapixel cam on the front, WiFi, 8GB onboard storage expandable via microSD card.

Price?

Well, here’s where it gets better. From a high of Php20K when it was still un-Globe branded, its price is now down to just Php10,990, and it is available via 0% interest installment over a 12 month period.

There’s just one catch. You do need to subscribe to Globe’s Tattoo Personalized Plan 999 to get the MediaPad at this tempting price.

If you don’t mind signing up with Globe Tattoo, no problem. If you do, then I guess this ICS tablet isn’t for you.
