Quite recently, the folks in charge of the Google Pixel C tablet were quoted as saying that Android N (no news yet if it might be Nougat) will have split screens as a major feature. However, we can't help but remember that ASUS had a split screen feature for their ASUS MeMo Pad 8 ME512CL called Dual Screen and that the tablet ran on Android 4.4 KitKat.
It was certainly useful but limited by the apps that it could access, but since ASUS didn't see fit to include it in subsequent ZenUI updates, we assume the feature wasn't well-received. Perhaps it is time for the current range of ASUS tablets, the ASUS ZenPads to get that feature once more? Check out our full review of the ASUS MeMo Pad 8 ME512CL for more details on the Dual Screen feature.

As one of the latest tablets in the market the ASUS MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL offers some really top-of-the-line technologies, including AnyPen technology. AnyPen allows you to use many different objects as a stylus and we go hands-on with a pencil, metal chopstick and chilli. Other notable tech specs include an 8-inch full HD 1080p display, 4G LTE, NFC and a fast 64-bit Intel processor. Thankfully, the screen on the MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL is really tough and scratch resistant thanks to a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, so it can take most pointy things without any scratches. Retailing at RM1099 the MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL is now available for even lower around RM959 or so at third-party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD.

While the ASUS MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL tablet packs in premium features like 4G LTE and a full HD display, many users are asking if it is compatible with OTG (On The Go) USB Flash memory drives. As such we took it for a demo with a OTG USB cable and a USB flash memory drive. The short answer is yes, yes it does work with OTG USB flash memory, but sometimes you may have to mount it first in the storage menu of the Android settings. If you'd like to see the demo for yourself do check out our video below and keep sending us tech questions you'd like answered. We'll try to answer them as best we can.

The ASUS MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL is one of the more premium tablets out there and it is finally here at TechNave.com. We go hands-on with this RM1099 priced tablet to see it's awesome super thin and ultra light design. Featuring an 8-inch full HD 1080p display, the tablet is surprisingly thin at just 7.45mm and weighs just 299g. Offering a chrome metallic like trim on the sides, the design is fairly simple. However, while it is flat and thin the back cover is still curved for a comfortable grip. Check out the hands-on video in this article for more details.
