Affordably Functional Tablets

The Asus MeMO Pad ME172V Boasts Functionality and Affordability

— January 14, 2013 — Tech
The Asus MeMO Pad ME172V is the newest tablet to be released that is made for those users who don't need all of the fancy technology attached to many of its counterparts.

The tablet boasts a seven-inch screen and though considered basic, will still offer a full Android experience including access to eBooks, web browsing and the Google Play store. However, the company is making it clear it is not intended to be a gaming or graphics focused gadget. Rather, the company's main priority is creating a “smooth and fluid user experience” for its consumers while offering it at a much more reasonable and affordable price point.

As the younger generation likes to divide their time between computer games and social media, the Asus MeMO Pad ME172V is likely aimed more towards an older clientele, which predominantly enjoys ingesting information online.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Tablets - The trend of affordable tablets presents an opportunity for companies to target older demographics who prioritize functionality over advanced features.
2. Basic Functionality - The trend of tablets focusing on basic functionality opens up opportunities for companies to provide cost-effective alternatives for users who don't require advanced technology.
3. Smooth User Experience - The emphasis on creating a smooth and fluid user experience in tablets offers opportunities for companies to innovate and differentiate themselves in the market.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can tap into the trend of affordable tablets by offering budget-friendly options with essential features.
2. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can capitalize on the trend of basic functionality tablets by providing a wide range of affordable options to cater to different consumer needs.
3. Software Development - The software development industry can seize the opportunity to create user-friendly interfaces and applications that enhance the smooth user experience of affordable tablets.
