May 16 - A high resolution MeMO Pad 2 may be coming in the next month or two. Asus recently had a tablet pass through the FCC and it does appear to be the ME302KL. It's listed at Asus MeMO Pad with a model no. K00B. A quick snapshot of expected specs include: 10.1-inch full 1920×1080 pixels HD display, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor with Adreno 320 graphics, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of stroage, front and rear cameras, Bluetooth 4.0, and optional 3G and 4G LTE versions, and a 5050mAh battery. It's going to be a fast tablet with that processor. Hopefully more details soon. Because this is a MeMO Pad, it won't have the Transformer style locking keyboard dock.

The tablet also has WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional 3G and 4G LTE versions.

May 9 - As we near Computex 2013, the Asus teasers are heating up! Trust me when I say we're on the cusp of exciting new Asus tablets. Here is a new trailer:

May 3 - Want a good deal in the USA? You can pick up a Transformer Infinity for just $399 right now. We have details here.

April 26 - An online benchmark reveals an Asus ME302C tablet. Could this be a MeMO Pad HD? One thing is certain. It's going to be powered by the Intel Atom processor and not a Nvidia processor. More details as we learn more. Read more about this on our news/blog section (link button above).

April 13 - If you live in the UK, you can now pre order the Asus Fonepad. It's the 7-inch Android tablet that you can make phone calls with! Click link for details and pricing on Amazon.co.uk:

UK - Pre Order Now from Amazon.co.uk - Asus Fonepad ME371MG 7-inch Tablet (Intel Atom Z2420 1.2GHz Processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB eMMC, WLAN, BT, 3G, Camera, Android 4.1)  

April 8 - Now available in the USA for $149, the Asus MeMO ME172V. Don't be confused. This is the budget 7-inch Android tablet. Here is a quick specs rundown: 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1 GHz VIA WM8950 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Check out the Asus promotion here where you have a chance to win one.

April 5 - New rumors about an upcoming Nexus tablet from the Google Asus partnership. The new Nexus 7 will apparently feature a higher resolution, thinner bezel and Snapdragon processor. More details on our blog.

February 25 - Ready for the Asus fonepad? A tablet that you can use as a phone. Asus at Mobile World Congress 2013 full details coming right up! We are putting a new page for the FonePad here.

February 7 - What to hear some exciting and interesting news? How about a new FonePad tablet from Asus? No, it's not a typo and no, it's not the Padfone. Expect this new product to make a showing at Mobile World Congress 2013. It's not entirely clear what this tablet will look like, but it is going to be a 7-inch Android tablet with "communication functions". I'm sure leaks will start up before the MWC 2013 on February 25. We have some photos which may or may not be the actual device!

February 1 - Asus continues to pump out their tablets. Reports now indicate that the budget Android 10-inch MeMO Pad 10 (ME301T) is being sold in Europe in countries such as Germany and Italy. It's currently being priced at around €349.

The MeMO Pad ME301T doesn't have the "transformer" keyboard dock abilities. It has a lower resolution screen at 1280 x 800 but is a cheaper affordable option. It comes with the typical Tegra 3 processor and features, but also comes in colors white, blue or pink.

January 26 - We've added a new MeMO Pad ME172V page here.

January 21 - We have found an unboxing video for a new mystery tablet from Asus. The box itself indicated cleary as being named Asus MeMO Pad Smart. What's clear from the video is that it's not running Windows 8 and is actually running Android. A safe guess would be that this is the MeMO 301T which is a more budget friendly 10-inch tablet from Asus which doesn't have the Transformer type keyboard dock. It would appear that the ME301T is simply an Android version of the VivoTab Smart ME400. More details as soon as we can find them. Video link is here. The unofficial specs include: 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display, Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 3 different colors and 16GB of storage. We are also seeing this labeled unofficially as the Asus MeMO Pad 10 Smart. I personally would expect this tablet to be competitively priced in and around the Amazon and Nook 10-inch tablet prices.

January 16 - CES 2013 has passed and for the most part there was very little headline news regarding upcoming Asus tablets. That said, a few folks got to see an upcoming 7-inch Android tablet named the MeMO ME172V and a 10-inch Android tablet named MeMO ME301T. Both of these appear to be budget (cheap) tablets. We now know that the MeMO Pad ME172 is going to sell for $149 and will include the following specs: 1 GHz VIA WM8950 processor, Mali 400 graphics, a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel (170ppi) display with a 140 degree viewing angle, 350-nits brightness, and runs Android Jelly Bean 4.1. No specific details like release date or pricing are known just yet for the ME301T. Stay tuned!

December 24 - We are seeing a nice discount on the VivoTab RT which includes the keyboard dock for free. Check our designated TF600 page for details. The VivoTab TF810 is finally now in-stock and shipping. Not cheap but certainly one of the nicest full Windows 8 tablets on the market. Rumors are also persisting regarding 2 possible new 7-inch Android tablets from Asus. More details on those soon and perhaps these will be shown at CES 2013 in January.

December 4 - Shopping for Asus tablets? Here is a quick overview on what's happening and what's available. Windows 8 tablets currently includes the VivoTab RT which is using the Windows RT version. The VivoTab which runs Windows 8 full version is due for a mid December release date but that could change. The TaiChi hybrid tablet Ultrabook is delayed and may show up mid to late December. It's going to be more expensive that initially thought. If you want Android, certainly the Asus Nexus 7 (7-inch) is a good option and cheap. The Infinity TF700 is available and is a great premium 10-inch Android tablet. You can now find the TF300 Transformer at quite reasonable prices also. There is also rumors that there is a super budget 7-inch tablet which may or may not be a new Nexus 7. In fact it may be an Asus own budget 7-inch tablet.

October 26 - Lots of news here to digest. First, the Nexus 10 is not being made by Asus. That rumor is dead now. Check prices for the Nexus 7 on Monday because it's quite likely it is going to see a nice price reduction. Regarding all the Windows 8 tablets, you can currently buy the VivoTab RT TF600T for 32GB model for $599. The VivoTab TF810C is in pre order phase and the 64GB model is $799. The Taichi is in pre order phase also and is priced at $1,299 at the cheap end and $1,599 at the top end price. The Transformer Book has no pricing or release date details. The VivoTab Smart tablet also has no official release date information. We have added a TON on new content videos, pictures and links on each of the tablet specific pages. Hope you enjoy!

October 25 - A couple of Asus tablets have gone through the FCC. The upcoming Nexus 7 3G models and the VivoTab RT 4G model. With all the other Windows 8 Asus tablets we are expecting a lot of FCC news over the coming weeks.

October 23 - The big surprise from the Asus event in New York is the VivoTab Smart tablet which is very unique and is a cheaper tablet option. Unlike the other previously announced Vivo Tabs, this Smart model doesn't have the transformer attachment capabilities. Instead you can use the Bluetooth keyboard dock accessory. It runs Windows 8 and not Windows RT and is priced at $499. Details here so far.

New fantastic hands-on video review of the new Transformer Book.

October 19 - A couple interesting new Asus tablet leaks right now. First, there is a Nexus 7 3G, aka the ME370TG, that showed up in official documentation. Next is a Asus ME400 tablet which is quite interesting. The ME400C is a Windows 8 tablet with Intel Atom processor which will not have the Transformer Keyboard Dock accessory. Perhaps this will be the mystery tablet that Asus will unveil at their Oct 23rd event? The details about this ME400 are speculative only. Nothing official from Asus about it. Details on our Asus tablet news blog.

October 14 - If you want to get a Vivo Tab RT, now is your chance to pre order if you live in the USA or Canada. Full details and link on our dedicated Vivo Tab RT page.

October 12 - Big news day for Asus. The Vivo Tab RT which is the model TF600T, has been put up on pre order at Staples. Price wise, it's going to be selling for $599 with the keyboard dock selling for $169. Earlier today Newegg had it listed for pre order also but that has since been removed. We're keeping our eyes open for more online retailers putting it up for ordering.

if you're wondering about the Asus Taichi. You can in fact pre order it right now. If you live outside the USA, don't worry. One of the online retailers ships internationally. New video, pics and pre order links!

September 28 - Do you believe in a Nexus 10? I sure do. The fact is there is a leak out there. It's a leak of a device named the ME570T. What the heck is that? I am strongly suggesting it's a Nexus 10. Read more on this breaking story here. Clearly there is a device named Asus ME570T. It's either a new Nexus tablet or it's a new 7-inch tablet from Asus themselves. If you recall months ago, Digitimes did report that Asus was expected to release a tablet which was priced around $159-$179. It's possible that Asus is releasing their own without the Nexus and Google partnership. In recent days Asus has denied rumors that they were working on a new tablet with Google. If they are making their own, then certainly that rumor still has merit. Would there be a MeMO in 10-inch or is "MeMO" a brand that Asus uses for their 7-inch tablets only? That could provide some insight into what we might have with the ME570T. What makes the MeMO a MeMO? The ME171 and previously ME370T are both 7-inch. It's all rather interesting!

September 24 - Still waiting for some more news regarding the upcoming Vivo Tab and Vivo Tab RT Windows 8 tablets. No word on the Asus Taichi and whether that will be coming out before Christmas 2012. I added some new photos of the Asus Vivo Tab RT here.

September 15 - If you live in the UK, unfortunately the official TF700 Infinity retailer Amazon.co.uk is showing no stock and no pre orders. The only thing to say is that we will update you the moment ordering availability starts again. Regarding new Asus tablets, nothing has passed through the FCC lately. That may mean the Asus Vivo Tab and Vivo Tab RT may be the only 2 Windows 8 tablets from Asus at the Windows launch in late October.

September 5 - Canadians can now buy the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 again. We have all the details here. In other Asus tablet news, we've added new pages for the Vivo Tab, Vivo Tab RT, Transformer Book and Taichi. Asus believes so much in their upcoming Windows 8 tablets that they are going to be discontinuing their Eee PC netbook products. Read about it here.

August 29 - IFA 2012 from Germany saw some breaking news for Asus. The new name for Asus Tablet 810 is Asus Vivo Tab and the new name for Asus Tablet 600 is Asus Vivo Tab RT. The Transformer Book and Asus TaiChi appear to be on track for a release at a later date because they were shown off also.

August 28 - UK shoppers looking for the Infinity TF700 I have great news! There is a third party seller on Amazon.co.uk with in-stock units but they are French keyboard and European plugs. If that doesn't interest you, you can get your pre order in right now for the real UK models! See our post here for UK details.

August 26 - Check out our updated Asus Tablet 810 page. The Asus 810 is the 11.6-inch Windows 8 tablet which comes with the "transformer" keyboard dock. It will be shipping with the new Intel Atom processor and will have Wacam digitizer stylus input. Sounds exciting!

August 25 - Canadian shoppers hoping to find the Infinity TF700? It sold out everywhere and fast. Pick your big box store and they are sold out unfortunately. You can still preorder and we have details on out main Transformer Infinity TF700 page. Link is above. We are still waiting for UK orders to begin. Asus UK did tweet a while back that August 29 was going to be the release date so we are expecting pre orders at least to start any day now. Stay tuned and we will tweet news for UK shoppers.

August 18 - If you live in Canada it's your turn for the Transformer Infinity TF700 shopping fun! You're going to find the TF700 in most of the big retailers such as Best Buy and Future Shop. Go to a store, get the tablet in your hands, and see what you think! If you're looking for the 64GB Infinity or any of the gold color models you are out of luck for now. No word when those tablets will be available in the Canadian market.

In other Asus tablet news, the Transformer TF500 just passed through the FCC late in the week. Selection won't be a problem if you're looking for an Asus tablet! The TF500T is a mystery and was quite unexpected. My feeling is that it's actually the Transformer Book that was shown off at Computex 2012 recently. If the TF500 is in fact the Transformer Book then we're talking a Windows 8 tablet and will be the first Transformer Ultrabook. If the TF500 isn't the Transformer Book then we really have a mystery on our hands!

August 16 - If you're looking for stores in the USA who have the Transformer Infinity TF700 on display, we are hearing from our site visitors that they are showing up in various places. Have you seen anywhere? If so we would appreciate hearing about it! We are finally finding some 32GB Gold color Infinity TF700 tablets shipping in the USA. The 64GB model in gold is showing up possibly as late as September in the USA market. Canada is just a day or two from getting in-stock and shipping Infinity tablets. Most online retailers are indicating an August 17th availability. Also worth noting for Canada is that the 32GB Gray model appears to be the only tablet available initially.

July 31 - Look what we found! The Asus TF600T tablet has shown up at the FCC and we have details here and we're putting a new TF600 page. This appears to be the Asus Tablet 600 which is a Tegra based Windows 8 RT tablet which was shown at Computex 2012. Not only one FCC submission, but also there is the Asus TF810C which showed up. The TF810 is actually the Asus 810 (officially named Asus Tablet 810) which was shown off at Computex 2012. We have full details of the Asus 810 here. Both these Windows 8 tablets are with the detachable keyboard docks. The Asus 810 is 11.6-inch and uses the new Intel Atom processor and has a Wacom digitizer pen.

July 27 - Still no word on Gold model Transformer Infinity in the USA. We wil update the moment news breaks! You can pre order which gets your first in line when they do arrive. Check our main TF700 page for links.

July 25 - UK shoppers looking for the Transformer Infinity TF700? Sorry to say Asus has officially announced it's coming August 31st. (Thanks Tom for the link and info)

July 23 - We're seeing more availability for the Transformer Infinity at various online retailers. If you've just started shopping now, we have a post here with current details about USA. Still, if you're looking for the Gold model, those are still not available. We're tracking this and hopefully this upcoming week it starts shipping. We hope you're enjoying your new purchase if you've been part of the Transformer Infinity shopping spree. We've started a owners post where you can discuss tips, tricks, likes, dislikes, etc. Owners helping owners I like to say! Check it out here. UK doesn't have pre order listings yet (they were up for a few days on Amazon.co.uk and have been recently removed) and Canada is still waiting for their turn for buying the Infinity TF700T.

Regarding the Transformer Infinity TF700 dock vs. Transformer Prime TF201 dock, it does appear that you could buy a cheaper TF201 dock and use it with your TF700 tablet. With that said, the TF201 comes with a larger capacity battery and the new TF700 dock has a smallery battery. Not confirmed by Asus, but it appears that the newer TF700 dock with smaller battery has been done to get the tablet and keyboard a better balance and tipping point. You will need to update the firmware on the TF201 when you first dock it to the Infinity tablet, but it will update and you'll be good to go. We expect more details to emerge regarind these two different docks. The bottom line is that the TF201 Prime keyboard will work with the TF700. Whether the weight will make a difference to the experience, it's hard to say right now. If you're buying the premium TF700 tablet, perhaps you want to simply get the new TF700 keyboard which was designed for the Infinity. It appears a weight balance might be the only alteration with the smaller battery being used in the new version keyboard.

July 19 - If you've placed your order for a Transformer Infinity TF700, a lot of retailers are now shipping! It's very hard to find anyone selling the $499 32GB model and the $149 Keyboard dock. In general those items sell out quickly so you might miss out if you wait too long.

We are getting a LOT of amazing comments via our blog regarding the TF201 keyboard dock compatability. People are noticing that the retail box is has the TF700T-DOCK-GR label, but on the dock itself, it is labeled with a TF201. There is a bit of confusion regarding this and hopefully during the day we can get it sorted out for you.

July 17 - A big thanks to Neil, we've now listed Infinity ordering options for UK which you can now order online! We are now finding online retailers in the USA who a shipping orders of the highly anticipated Asus Transformer Infinity TF700! Note that it appear the Gray model will be available initially because we haven't yet found the Gold model available yet. If we list "In Stock" retailers, you should act quickly because they are selling out quickly everywhere.

July 14 - There is no delay in a release date for the US market and the Transformer Infinity TF700. In fact, Asus has officially announced that the release date is one day earlier! The official release date is now Sunday July 15th and not Monday July 16th.

"Also we have moved the launch date up a day so be on the look out on the 15th."
-- Asus North America Facebook post

We are closing in on the official release date in the USA and there are still next to no online pre orders available. The suspense is driving us crazy! So hold on folks, the countdown has started! Either there is a release date delay or we're on the brink of being able to finally buy a TF700 Infinity. It's speculation to suggest that there is a delay at this point. There hasn't been any official news from Asus suggesting that July 16th has been pushed back. So if you are one of the many many people looking to buy an Infinity, don't be discouraged. You simply need to be ready to pull the trigger and pre order when the time comes. In my opinion only, it may be a situation where the demand goes beyond the supply. The Transformer Infinity may very well turn out to be the #2 tablet behind the iPad.

July 8 - Germany are seeing in stock TF700 Infinity tablets shipping from Amazon.de. Check our blog listings! Still waiting for USA online retailers to start up their pre orders for the Transformer Infinity TF700. News could break any moment. We saw J&R.com with brief pre orders but apparently their allotment has now been pre ordered. We will be one of the first websites to report on availability so hopefully you will check in with us over the next while. Oddly enough, we are seeing Germany with in-stock and shipping Infinity tablets. We have details on our blog (click link "Asus Tablet News").

June 25 - The day has come for Asus to release official Transformer Infinity TF700 release date information. It's coming to the USA on July 16th. We will be posting pre order listings as soon as we find them. They should start up any day so please check back with us. The pricing details are all on our Infinity pages here.

June 24 - Our instincts were correct! There is now a Transformer Infinity product page on BestBuy.com! We have details, price and more here. Does this mean come midnight today, that the USA will see a wide release on June 25th? It appears quite possible. It's exciting for those who have been waiting patiently. Check with us during the day as we expect more leaks and more retailers to start showing the Infinity TF700T for sale. BestBuy.com currently shows "Sold Out Online" but we don't believe it has yet to be sold and quite possibly it's available starting midnight tonight.

June 23 - Getting excited about the Transformer Infinity TF700? Lots of people are and lots of people are getting sick of waiting for release date information. Well will an in-depth 8 minute video and making of documentary help? Not sure how long this video will be on YouTube so best to watch it now. Check our post here.

June 18 - Big news from Digitimes.com which is accurate with Asus leaks and rumors. That MeMO 370 which is a 7-inch Tegra 3 tablet is coming in August. Yes Asus is involved in the Google tablet which will be unveiled at the end of June, but Digitimes reports that Asus will come out with their own 7-inch tablet. That has to be the MeMO370 because the FCC saw a submission from Asus with a label or ME370T. That has to be the tablet in question. Right? Full details on our blog here.

June 9 - Computex 2012 is over and Asus assaulted the tech world with an onslaught of Windows 8 tablets in unique, expected and completely unexpected innovations. Hit up our blog under "Asus Tablet News" for a rundown on the gammut of Asus tablets from Computex 2012.

Updating the Transformer Infinity release date. There is no news. However, my personal gut feeling is that within days we are going to get official information and product pages on the Asus website. Just a hunch. With Computex 2012 gone, Asus has no reason to hold back on the Android tablets. Fingers crossed that come Monday, we have juicy new details regarding the much anticipated TF700T Infinity. Stay tuned!

June 4 - Asus has delivered the motherlode of tablets. No kidding! There is the Asus Tablet 600, the Asus Tablet 810, the Asus Transformer AiO (all in one), the Asus TaiChi tablet laptop hybid, and last but not least, the Asus Transformer Book. Read for this? These are all Windows 8 tablets and no, the word "Slate" was not in a single press or spec sheet. I'm tired now, it's late but you can hopefully enjoy what's up on the site here. Forget about the Transformer Infinity or MeMO 370T. Today was all about Windows 8 tablets.

June 3 - The Asus press conference at Computex 2012 is a happening later this evening (North America time). Needless to say we're all over it! In typical Asus fashion we expect some amazing reveals. We will assemble all the details as quickly and as thoroughly as humanly possible as the news breaks. Monday morning enjoy plenty of exciting Asus tablet news.

May 30 - The Asus tablet news keeps on coming. We are now believers when they said they were going to be one of the top Android tablet manufacturers in the second half of 2012. Remember that much hyped 7-inch Asus tablet named MeMO 370T? It just passed through the FCC which means it could be released in about a months time! We have a post about it here. In other Asus tablet news, Computex 2012 is less than a week away and they will be showing off some new products. The teasers are coming tomorrow so check back with us so we can all guess as to what's coming next. Asus is more exciting than Apple don't you agree?

May 25 - There may be a 3G/4G Asus tablet coming the USA afterall. In the past Asus have stayed away from North America tablets with 3G. Asus kept those 3G tablets to the Asia and European markets. This week the new 4G Transformer TF300TL passed through the FCC. That's a first for Asus and what it means is that they may be releasing a 4G tablet in the USA. If you wonder now about the Transformer Infinity TF700T, there is an even better chance that you will see a 4G model coming to the USA. Nothing official, but it's encouraging news for sure. Read details on our blog post.

May 20 - Big news for those of you wanting the premium Asus tablet Transformer Infinity TF700T. It's at the FCC which means an official release date is imminent. Asus has also posted an Transformer Pad Infinity question on their Facebook page. This all points to great news for a soon to be best selling Android tablet. Check details on our blog by clicking the navigation button for "Asus Tablet News".

We've seen some price drops for the Transformer TF300T. Most times you can get it for less than the $399 list and the TF300 keyboard dock is often discounted less than the suggested retail price of $149. We're still waiting on the cheaper 16GB model and the other colors to become available. Most areas on the globe should have online retailers shipping the Transformer TF300T and we have some of those countries listed on our page and blog.

May 8 - Canada shoppers, you can now get the Transformer TF300T from Amazon.ca and it ships May 10. This release date is just updated today on their site. Keyboard dock will also be available on May 10 also. We have the details on the right side of our blog.

May 3 - UK shoppers you can now order the TF300T from Currys! We have details on our Transformer TF300 page.

April 30 - USA shoppers! Shipping Now! Transformer TF300T is available at Amazon.com right now! Ordering details are on our Transformer TF300 page!

Release dates for other countries is slow. We are expecting any day now for Europe pre orders to begin. In Canada, the release date is not yet determined. We were expecting a bigger and wider release of the TF300T but is appears to be only a trickle at this time. USA has the priority. Trust us, we're checking during the days and will post details about other release dates when we track them down.

April 14 - It appears the USA market is set to get the TF300 Transformer in the color blue. We are on the cusp of the flood gates opening so hang tight. Any day now! We're adding more content as we can find it. Pre order details hopefully tomorrow (Sunday) but most definitely on Monday!

April 12 - Our Transformer Pad watch continues. We have seen a couple stories about the TF300 Transformer Pad showing up for pre order. In general that's an indicator of getting close to an announcement. We won't link/report about these sites as generally stores are doing this just to get traffic to their sites. Get ready folks, the time is coming soon!

April 3 - There is a tremendous amount of interest in the release dates of the Transformer Pad TF300 and Transformer Pad TF700 Infinity. Unfortunately there is no updated information. We monitor various sources for any news regarding release dates and there has been absolutely no news regarding when a pre order will be possible. Hang tight, there is no choice right now. We see some depleted inventories and stock levels on the TF101 and TF201 models which tells us something is coming soon. Just our gut feeling.

March 6 - We've updated the specs and details for the Tranformer Infinity TF700 and Transformer TF300 on our blog. We suggest you go there now!

February 27 - Asus with breaking news from MWC 2012. The two new Transformer tablets are now officially named Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Series and the Asus Transformer Pad 300 Series. Updated content coming on our TF700T and TF300T pages!

February 24 - We're breaking this news first on the internet! There is another new Asus video teaser. We've posted it on our blog here. At first viewing I thought Eee Pad MeMO 173, but now it's clear. This teaser is telling us Asus will be unveiling the Transformer TF300 at World Mobile Congress 2012 on February 27th. There are two hints that make it clear. One, the Transformer TF300T will come in different colors which has been speculated on the internet lately. Second, the video mentions "transformation". That seals the deal in my mind. We are putting together a specific TF300 page right now in hopes it is unveiled in a few days!

February 22 - Yes folks there really is an Eee Pad MeMO 171. In fact you can check the official Asus product page here. We've just launched a Asus Transformer TF700 page because Asus just released a teaser video for it! The hottest rumor is about a budget Transformer model named TF300 or TF300T. We summarize the current details/rumors here.

January 9 - Update: There is a lot of misinformation out there right now. It's understandable considering all the various Eee Pad models, but still. Please let the dust settle before making assumptions about these recent Eee Pad release announcements. As an example, websites are incorrectly indicating the Eee Pad MeMO 370 as coming with a Snapdragon processor. No, in fact it's coming with a Tegra 3 processor. The confusion is about whether or not there are 2 Eee Pad MeMO models coming. You can trust our coverage and if it's rumor, we state that it rumor based information. Right now you have Nicole Scott from NetbookNews.com reporting that Asus has ditched the MeMIC headset and the stylus from the MeMO. However, Engadget clearly reports that there are 2 different Eee Pad MeMO models. One being the original and much demoed MeMO and the newer stripped down MeMO. So what exactly is going on then?

Breaking news! There are 2 Eee Pad MeMO models coming! That rumored 7-inch Eee Pad? It's the Asus MeMO 370T model and we're just getting a page together. Read our blog post here. We have a new page we're creating for the MeMO 370T. The original MeMO ME173 is now known to be the MeMO ME171 and we have updates on our blog here. Also there is a updated Asus Transformer Prime, the TF700T coming in Q2 of 2012. Read our blog post here.

January 4 - Another teaser photo has been released of this 7-inch Eee Pad. The photo show the back which features a camera, a couple buttons (possibly volume), and what appears to be two speakers with grill cloth. So could that photo from January 2 really be a remodeled Eee Pad MeMO? It's possible, but it's all speculation at this point. I question how it can be the Memo based on the fact the stylus was a big part of the MeMO. It's also hard to imagine how a new unknown Eee Pad could have made it so far into production without some rumors.

The latest 7-inch Eee Pad photo teaser.

January 2 - The CES 2012 is just about a week away and Asus is creating a buzz again. We are hearing about a budget $299 7-inch Eee Pad. In fact Notebook Italia has leaked a photo. Rumors are abound and we are suspecting an Asus Eee Pad EP70 model which could go up against the Amazon Kindle and B&N Nook Tablet. However, the EP71 was originally the model for the MeMO so would a different 7-inch Eee Pad use the EP80 or EP81? Now the MeMO uses the ME173 description so who knows what Asus will do with a new 7-inch Eee Pad. People are suggesting it's the Eee Pad MeMO or a 7-inch Eee Pad Transformer Prime. We are suspecting it's a cheap 7-inch Eee Pad.

The mystery 7-inch Eee Pad. We say it's Eee Pad EP70 or EP71.
