ASUS Unveils Android 3.0 based Eee Pad MeMO Tablet

ASUS showcased its upcoming Eee Pad MeMO tablet today. It has a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 resolution capacitive touchscreen display and will run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which itself isn't out yet. The tablet will be running on a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm 8260 processor and will come with dual cameras, a 1.2 megapixel on the front for video calling and a 5 megapixel at the back with an LED flash.

One of the interesting bits about this tablet is that it comes with a capacitive stylus that slots right below the display. ASUS will also be bundling two of their applications that will make use of the stylus, one of them being Media Note, which is a note taking app and the other is Painter, which lets you use the stylus as a pressure sensitive drawing instrument.

The Eee Pad MeMO will also come with a Bluetooth headset, called MeMic for receiving calls. According to ASUS, the Eee Pad MeMO is "a perfect blend of tablet and smartphone". The MeMO will be launched in June and will be priced $499 in the US.
