Kobo has today announced three new Android-powered tablets aimed at budget, midrange, and high-end tablet consumers. There are two 7-inch models and one 10-inch model, all of which are part of Kobo’s Arc family of slates and e-readers — and they’ll start hitting U.K. stores on October 16.

Google is gearing up to launch a second-generation Nexus 7 this July, which will cost slightly more than its predecessor at $229, according to supply chain sources in Taiwan. The search giant has supposedly upped its price tag slightly in an effort to avoid competing directly against entry-level Android tablet from other manufacturers.

Asus clearly has an issue. It cannot make a device that has just one purpose. One of its tablets is also a phone, the other turns into a laptop, and its smartphone transforms into a tablet. Now the Taiwanese company has a Windows 8 desktop that’s also an Android tablet.

Asus unveiled its 10-inch MeMO Pad Smart back in January, and the company has today confirmed that it will be available to purchase in the United States from Tuesday, March 5. Those who has been waiting to get their hands on the device now have just a few days to wait before they can purchase one.

Following its unveiling of the 7-inch MeMO Pad just after CES, Asus has today announced its bigger brother, the 10-inch MeMO Pad Smart ME301T, at the Thailand Mobile Expo. The device measures just 9mm thick, and like its sibling, its focus is on being affordable — but it has some nice specifications under the hood.
