Asus Packs NVIDIA's Tegra 3 Chip into $250 MeMo Me370T Tablet

By Enid Burns

With NVIDIA inside a tablet, you can expect serious video and gaming performance. At CES this week, Asus introduced the Asus MeMO 370T tablet, which is powered by the graphics chip maker's Tegra 3 chip.

The 7-inch tablet will run the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and be the first official tablet on the new Android OS. Other features include 1GB RAM and a minimum 16GB storage, as well as the aforementioned Tegra 3, which is NVIDIA's new quad-core chip. Asus did not reveal details on the processor speed.

The MeMO 370T also has a 1280 x 800 resolution and in-plane switching (IPS) technology, a technology that allows for a wider viewing angle. In addition to a Micro-USB port and microSD card reader, the tablet has a Micro-HDMI port to hook up video devices. Another enhanced feature is an 8-megapixel camera, which adds a little oomph to the average tablet camera.

Even though many Ice Cream Sandwich tablets have already been announced, the MeMO may actually be the first to arrive.

Asus will likely release the MeMO 370T in the second quarter of this year. While the specs may suggest a high price tag, Asus plans to put this one out there for around $250. In addition to the MeMO 370T, Asus showed off its Pad phone, which won a Best of Innovation Award at this week's Consumer Electronics Show.
