Asus Unveils The Memo Tablet, A 7" Number For a Measly £90

We’re still waiting on that $99 Google Nexus tablet rumoured to be in the works, but in the meantime, we’ve got another tasty cut-price tablet to admire: meet the brand new Asus MemoPad, a seven-inch number running Android 4.1 that costs a mere $150 (£93).

Much like Acer’s new low price Iconia, the Asus MemoPad is a seven-inch tablet with a 1024×600 resolution display – much like the original Amazon Kindle Fire. Unlike Amazon’s slate though, it’s running full fat Android 4.1 with access to the Google Play store and apps galore, and with any luck, its 1GHz processor and 1GB of memory should be more than enough for casual users on the performance front.

On the storage front, the Asus MemoPad squeezes in 8 or 16GB of space, enough for plenty of songs and movies, though you can bump that up with a Micro SD memory card.

It’s out in the US this month for $150, and we’re chasing to find out when we’ll be seeing it in the UK and for how much, so stay tuned – Asus’ storming success with the Google Nexus 7 means this is one low price iPad mini rival to watch. [GadgetShow]
