ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7 is a $130 tablet for developing markets

Asus announced a whole bunch of new Android devices during its Computex press conference, and the MeMO Pad HD 7 was one of them. The little brother of the MeMO Pad FHD 10, if you will, is a super affordable 7-inch slate meant to be offered in developing markets. 

Priced at $130 or $150 for the 8- or 16-gigabyte version respectively, the Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 comes with a 1280 by 800 pixel display and a quad-core Cortex A7 processor, which is good to hear. Specs like these aren't exactly typical for low-cost tablets. In addition, there's a 5MP rear camera for photos and videos, and a 1.2MP front-facing cam for video chats. Software-wise, we have Android 4.0 running on the MeMO Pad HD 7, which is odd, but we hope that an update to Jelly Bean will come sooner than later. 

So yeah, the Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 is shaping up like a great option for users on a very tight budget. In case we get any further information about the device, such as launch date and additional hardware specs, we'll let you know.
