Kmart are showing a new Android tablet from Augen. According to Augen this tablet is running v2.1 and has full access to the Android Market. Retail is $149. Specs for the Gentouch78 are:
- 800×480 color TFT touch screen
- CPU: 800 Mhz
- 256MB RAM
- 2GB Flash
- SDHC card slot (16GB supported)
- Wi-Fi
- Supports Ebook Formats: Text, PDF, E-PUB, HTML
- Supports Media Formats: MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC
- Picture Viewer in JPEG, BMP
- Video Player
I’m trying to get my hands on one.
P.S. Do you realize that this tablet is the first to be on the shelf of a big box retailer? Best Buy and Radio Shack have sold Archos tablets before, but they were never in stock in the store. This is a big deal.

I’ve really been considering picking up the Pandigital Novel. I wonder how this would compare to that in terms of speed and usability.
I expect this one to be better. It has a faster CPU and it’s not running the slow-ass stock Home Screen that came with the Novel.
I also think it will be better than the hacked novel because well, it’s not hacked.
The Novel sucks. Just bought one and I am selling it on ebay as we speak. The screen is a nightmare, the lack of access to the market makes installing apps a chore at best, and the slow-as-hell processor will have you pulling your hair out in no time, even after replacing the stock home app with launcherpro.
I just called Augen and they verified the ereader and the tablet both support Adobe DRM files.
