The MeMo Pad has a front-facing camera with a f/2.0 aperture that’s capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, ASUS SonicMaster audio and MaxxAudio, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and a Micro-USB port for charging/synching. The device is powered by a 4270mAh battery.
The tablet comes bundled with a suite of ASUS applications that includes SuperNote Lite, BuddyBuzz, ASUS WebStorage with 5GB of online storage space, ASUS Studio and WebStorage Office.
The MeMO Pad will be available in Sugar White, Titanium Gray and Cherry Pink, and arrives in the US from April.
