The folks at ASUS are enjoying the sale of their Transformer Prime tablet but they are quick to remind us that they have other wares that will soon be up for grabs. They today announced the Eee Pad Memo ME171, a 7 Inch Android tablet that, like the Galaxy Note, prides itself on being a digital notebook of sorts.
We’re getting a 1.2GHz dual-core processor inside so it won’t be quite as current as its bigger brother. It’ll be graced with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, as expected. A 5 megapixel camera that can shoot 1080p HD video can be found on the rear of the device with a 1.2 megapixel camera on the front of it.
Battery life should be ideal with its 4,400 mAh battery inside and you’ll be able to find the model in 16GB and 32GB models once it gallops out of the starting gate in the United States sometime in the second quarter of this year. For the size it looks like you won’t be able to go wrong, though without pricing and without an extensive look at the device it’ll be hard to tell if it’ll be desired like the Prime was and is.
Whats the thing across the bottom?
It’s a dock trench for the stylus.
