Smartbook Surfer really is the Augen Gentouch 78
August 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments · hardware news
You might recall from when I announced the Smartbook Surfer (a 7″ Android tablet) that I thought the Surfer looked a lot like the Augen Gentouch78 tablet. I just found an unboxing photo that confirmed my suspicion.
If you look at the image you’ll see that the back of the Surfer looks exactly the same as [...]
Augen Gentouch78 is about to lose Android Market, other Google apps
August 7th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
Augen just announced that the Gentouch78 would lose the Android market in the next update. They weren’t authorized to use the code.
I don’t know if you’ve been following the story, but yesterday the GottaBeMobile blog broke the story that the Gentouch78 is using pirated software to provide access to the Android Market. Well, duh. I [...]
Laptop Mag reviews the Augen Gentouch78
August 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware reviews
If you’re thinking about getting this tablet then this review will definitely make up your mind.
Verdict
The GenTouch78 was never going to be a powerhouse or the most desirable tablet this side of the iPad, but even at $149 it’s a waste of money. The Archos 7 Home Tablet, which was no prize in itself, is [...]

Augen Gentouch Android tablet – what we know so far
July 31st, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news, links post
It’s been a week since this tablet first appeared in the Kmart circular, and I still haven’t been able to get my hands on it. But after thinking about all that has happened in the past week, I realized that just collecting links to all the tidbits might make a worthwhile blog post.
So it’s been [...]
Inside the Augen Gentouch tablet
July 31st, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news, video
I was digging through Youtube, looking for videos on the Gentouch78 when I found this one. Someone’s already taken the cover off their tablet. It’s interesting. There has been some debate over at Slatedroid about whether the Gentouch78 really had the 800MHz CPU in the specs. Now we know that the stock speed of the [...]
Augen Gentouch tablet not in stock
July 28th, 2010 · 10 Comments · hardware news
I’ve just gotten back from my local Kmart store. They didn’t get any Augen tablets on the truck today. What’s worse is that the electronics manager checked with distribution, and it’s not going to be carried on the entire eastern seaboard. I’ve checked a couple dozen stores, and he appears to be correct. Boy was [...]

The second pair of videos were posted on Youtube.
Engadget got their hands on Augen’s crappy $99 Android netbook
July 27th, 2010 · 6 Comments · hardware news
Normally I wouldn’t start a title in such a negative tone, but I’ve seen this hardware before. Under no circumstances should you consider buying this. If someone offers to give you one, run away as fast as you can because they are obviously insane.
The Augen Gentouch74 has a 400MHz ARM CPU, 128MB of RAM, and [...]
