There's been a longstanding rumor that Google liked ASUS' Eee Pad MeMO ME370T well enough to bestow it with an official Nexus badge and take it underground until it was ready to show its Jelly Bean face. If we're to believe a render and a raft of claimed training documents nabbed by Gizmodo, that face is getting its debut in about two days' time.
As it's described, it could largely be what we'd expect from the ME370T
being revived as an Android 4.1 reference device: a 7-inch, quad-core
Tegra 3 slate with a front 1.2-megapixel camera, NFC, 8GB to 16GB of
storage and a 1280 x 800 IPS-based LCD. If you're looking for
gotta-have-it features that will have you rushing to fork over the cash,
though, they may be limited to the OS and Kindle Fire-busting
$199 and $249 prices for the two storage capacities. That image?
There's a very distinct possibility that it's still a cleverly-done
fake. Nonetheless, the prism-like backdrop has a whiff of Galaxy Nexus about it, and that textured, rounded back lines up neatly with what we've seen in an FCC filing
for the ASUS design. We'll know soon enough whether or not it's real or
just a fantasy -- if the tip (and others we've been hearing) is right,
Nexus slabs will spread 'round the world come July.
