ASUS announces $149 MeMO Pad

We come to know that ASUS has announced a 7-inch budget Android tablet, dubbed the MeMO Pad. It looks like the Nexus 7, but this guy's definitely lacking the hardware department by comparison. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, as it's targeted at emerging markets, where price is more important than power. The MeMO Pad seems to fit that bill with a $149 or Rs 8500 /- approximately listing for the lowest storage option.
FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS:-

• The MeMO Pad is running  in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
• Resolution of 1024×600pixels.
• It's powered by a VIA WM8950 processor running at 1 GHz, paired with a Mali-400 GPU.
• It's got 1GB of RAM, and either 8GB or 16GB or on-board storage, with a microSD slot for good measure.
• Plus you get 5GB of free online storage from ASUS.
• 4270mAh battery

Again, this is no Nexus 7 killer, but it's not supposed to be, either, and you can pick one up in white or pink, in addition to the usual black. (OK, the official colors are "Sugar White," "Titanium Gray" and "Cherry Pink.") ASUS didn't announce any specific regions or retailers, so be on the lookout for that, but it did say to expect the tablet this month.
