An official promo video was spotted on YouTube featuring the ASUS MeMO Pad Smart 10. The tablet was officially unveiled at the Thailand Mobile Expo.
This latest tablet design from ASUS features a 10.1 inch display, slightly larger than its predecessor, the recently announced 7-inch MeMo Pad. Powered by a 1.2 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, it runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.1. ASUS developed this pad for users to get the most out of entertainment with a 1280 x 800 resolution HD display, a powerful CPU and high quality sound. ASUS incorporated SonicMaster technology, a sound and speaker engine that it is advertising as providing "the best sound quality of any tablet this size." The 5MP rear camera with built-in flash and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera make it easy to take and share photos and video conference.
Preinstalled on the tablet are some exclusive ASUS Android apps to get users started with their tablets. An app called SuperNote Lite lets users type or scribble a note. To manage Microsoft Office-compatible documents, WebStorage Office lets users view, create and edit with ease. Data protection is a must and with App Backup users can create and back up personal data on an SD card onto the tablet's 16GB internal storage. App Locker is another bonus app that allows users to password-protect their Apps.
ASUS introduced along with it the Folio Key, an optional accessory wrap-around cover with an integrated keyboard. The Folio Key can function as a stand to prop the tablet to a comfortable viewing angle for watching video.
The ASUS MeMO Pad Smart 10 is expected to go on sale in Taiwan on Feb. 25 and comes in three stylish color schemes: blue while and pink. The pad will retail for $299 when it finally arrives in the U.S., rivaling the prices of other tablet devices such as Amazon's Kindle Fire HD. No retail date has officially been announced yet.
