CES 2012: Asus Eee Pad MeMO 7-Inch Tablet Runs Android 4.0

Outside of the updated Transformer Prime TF700T and the 7.7-inch quad-core ME370T tablet, Asus’ CES lineup includes another Android 4.0 running slate which is called the Eee Pad MeMO (ME171) and packs a 7-inch screen as the ME370T.

As some of you may remember, the tablet was actually leaked a couple of months ago, but this time we have a complete specs list and an approximate release date to accompany its pictures.

Thanks to this we know that the 7-inch screen is actually using an IPS panel with support for a capacitive stylus.

Right underneath this, the Asus MeMO tablet hides a dual-core Qualcomm 8260 SoC that runs at 1.2GHz and which is paired with 1GB of RAM.

Storage is set at either 16GB or 32GB, depending on the model chosen, but Asus will also allow its users to install an additional microSD card to extend data storage capacity of the Eee Pad MeMO.

All these are packed inside a case that weights 402g (0.88 pounds) and that measures 7.8- x 4.6- x 0.50-inches.

As far as software is concerned, the stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS is paired together with a couple of specific Asus applications, including MyPainter, MyNet, MyCloud, and Asus Sync.

Eee Pad’s MeMO configuration list is rounded up by 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity, a 1.2MP front and 5MP rear camera, the latter with 1080p video recording capabilities, an A-GPS sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor and a micro-USB port.

All of these are powered by a 4,400mAh Li-polymer battery, Asus saying this it can deliver up to 8.5 hours of video playback, which definitely sounds good to us.

Sadly, the Taiwanese company hasn’t provided us with any info regarding the price of the Eee Pad MeMO (ME171), but it did reveal that the tablet would arrive in North America sometime in Q2 2012.
