Asus to discontinue MeMo Pad and FonePad for new ZenPads

Asus has had multiple models in the tablet line-up. They’ve had the MeMo Pad, FonePad, PadFone, Transformer Pad and even two Nexus 7 tablets to its name. The introduction of yet another tablet line, the ZenPad, adds more confusion to the already crowded Asus line-up.

However, according to multiple sources from Asus, it looks like the company is going to discontinue two of their older tablet brands — the MeMo Pad and the FonePad.

We were not surprised with the move as it consolidates the tablet brand into once single name. This is what they’ve done with the ZenFone which seemed to be working well so doing the same for the tablet makes more sense.

But just like the ZenFone, this could also mean we will expect a dozen variants of the ZenPad. At the moment there are already three — ZenPad C, ZenPad S 7.0 and ZenPad S 8.0.

Acer Iconia Tab B1 vs. Asus MeMO Pad ME172v

Acer and Asus are competing in the entry-level Android tablet. Acer has the 7-inch Iconia Tab B1 while Asus has its own 7-inch MeMO Pad ME172V. Both brands took a slightly different approach so we thought we’d pit them in a side by side comparison.

Acer used a MediaTek processor which a lot of people are already somewhat familiar with since a number of smartphones also uses them. Asus, on the other hand, went with VIA skipping the Atom chip they used in the FonePad and Tegra 3 which they used in the Nexus 7.

Acer scored points in the CPU and storage while Asus scored with RAM and battery capacity. CPU gives you faster performance and storage allows for more media files. RAM allows for smoother multi-tasking (and possibility of update) and battery just gives you more juice.

Looks like a tie, right? If the price is almost the same, who’s the better tablet?
