Asus MeMO Pad to be released by Groupon April 6

Asus MeMO Pad is going to be released in a somewhat unusual manner on Saturday April 6, when Groupon Goods Subscribers will be able to take advantage of a pre-release one day ahead of others, with a slight discount and buy the 7-inch Asus MeMO Pad ME172V bundled with a Wilson leather case, all for $159.99. Regular price for this bundle is $199 (MSRP).

(UPDATE: July 2013 – This tablet is now only $99.)

The Asus MeMO Pad (no really, it is written like that) have been available for order on Amazon for a few days, but it still won’t be released until the day after the Groupon pre-release.
However, if you decided to buy it without the leather case bundle, you will save $10, as you can get this little Android tablet for a price of $149.
At that price, the MeMO Pad have only one competitor (see prices in the tablet comparison chart).

The MeMO Pad is also available in Canada for $169.
