Asus Eee Pad MeMo 370T tablet to hit the market soon: a 7-incher with Android 4.0 and a quad-core chip

Sporting a 7-inch IPS panel with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution, the MeMo 370T was originally introduced at CES 2011, but for some reason it hasn’t found its way to the technology market just yet. However, with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm 8260 dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, the 7-incher is set to make a very nice impression in Q2 2012, when it will finally see the light of day.

Featuring a capacitive pen stylus among others, the Asus Eee Pad MeMo 370T is aimed at ‘’entertainment, media and light productivity’’, according to official statements from the manufacturers. There are also dual cameras (an 8 MPx rear-facing shooter with auto-focus and 1080p recording capabilities and a 1.2 MPx front-facing webcam), as well as a bunch of ports (microUSB, microSD card slot, microHDMI), WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1.

The MeMo 370T is not groundbreaking or innovative, but it's elegant and powerful nevertheless.

In terms of internal storage space, you can choose from two different models, with either 16 or 32 GB of on-board memory, while in terms of battery life, things should be pretty nice, with a reported estimated autonomy of up to 8.5 hours based on regular use.

There are three ports on this 7-incher, which, if you ask us, is not too shabby!

The Eee Pad MeMo 370T should be a pretty eye-catching device as well, featuring a very cool and stylish exterior and decent product dimensions (0.5 inches in depth, among others).

The rear-facing camera looks like a winner, as does the tablet's overall design and build.

We have no details about the gadget’s pricing just yet, nor do we know exactly when it will be made available to the wide public, but rumor has it that it will hit the market somewhere in May and will start at around 300 bucks.

Update: We have a fresh and exclusive hands-on preview of the MeMo 370T for you and it seems that we messed up some of this tablet’s tech specs. The 7-incher is therefore set to be powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and not a Qualcomm dual-core chipset, as we first said. That changes the suspected price tag, which should be around 400 dollars after all.
