The MeMIC looks a lot like a basic smartphone, the idea is that it communicates with your MeMO tablet via Bluetooth and allows you to make and receive phonecalls using this small accessory rather than holding the 7-inch tablet by the side of your face. One great thing is that you could keep the MeMO tablet in your bag and still be able to use the MeMIC as the communication between the two devices will remain established. Not only will you be able to use the MeMIC for phonecalls, but it will also be able to send and receive text messages as well as listen to music.

We’re not yet sure when the MeMIC will arrive and how much it will cost, however it did recently show up at the FCC, which suggests that it could arrive pretty soon. You can see all of the FCC documentation here, if the patent drawings are to scale we think that the MeMIC will measure in at roughly 4cm x 10 cm with a 1.6-inch display.

Below we have embedded a photo which we found over at TalkAndroid, as you can see there seems to be a back button, buttons to make and end calls along with up, down, left and right arrows and a center button for selecting things – we’re not sure how you’re meant to send text messages using these!

We think the MEMic sounds like a great idea and we wouldn’t be too surprised if other tablet manufacturers follow suit with similar accessories, let’s just hope pricing isn’t too high otherwise we think sales will be hampered. Would you buy an accessory like the MEMic for your tablet?

Somehow we havn’t yet spoken about the MeMO ME370T in detail, therefore this article has been put together to give you a good overview of everything we know about this tablet so far and why it is causing such a stir.

Let’s start with tech specs, sadly the MeMO ME370T has not yet shown up on the ASUS website and some sources are suggesting that it features a dual-core 1.2Ghz Qualcomm processor, but more reputable sources have confirmed that it does in fact boast a quad-core Tegra 3 chip, 1GB of RAM, at least 16GB of storage, an 8 megapixel camera on the rear, a microUSB port, a microSD card reader, micro HDMI-out and a 7-inch IPS display which outputs at 1280 x 800. Perhaps the biggest negative is that there’s no front-facing camera.

As you can see in terms of specs the MeMO ME370T is pretty impressive, but when we tell you that it will retail for just $250 you will understand just why CNET consider this the best tablet of CES 2012, especially given the fact that it will run Ice Cream Sandwich out-of-the-box.

The low price will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, but if you thought that corners have been cut in the manufacturing process to keep the price low think again, it weighs just 0.88 pounds and looks fantastic (check out Engadget’s photo gallery for proof). Sure it may not look as beautiful as the iPad 2 and the bezel is a little thick, but we can accept that and instead concentrate on amazing performance offered by such an affordable tablet.

Below we have embedded a video which gives you a quick overview of what to expect from the ME370T, the form-factor may take a little of getting used to but we think it’s destined for great things in 2012.

We are told that this tablet will arrive in Q2 2012, will you buy it?
