The Android-powered Augen GenTouch78 is no iPad

“The Apple iPad is going to face serious competition from
Android Linux-powered tablets, but the first mass-market,
low-priced tablet to arrive, the Augen GenTouch78 isn’t it.

“The tablet does have some good things going for it. While it’s
made from black plastic, it has a solid feel. Better still, it
comes with a form-fitting, faux-leather case. I don’t know about
you, but whether I pay $170 for a GenTouch78 or $500 for an Apple
iPad, I appreciate getting a real cover to protect it without
shelling out additional cash.

“In addition, the GenTouch78 comes with a pair of micro-USB to
USB cables to make it easy to hook the device up to PCs or USB
devices. It also comes with a microSD card port that can handle up
to 16GB cards. I also found the tablet to be a nice size. For me,
the overall shape with case was as easy to handle as a trade
paperback book.

“That Was the Good News

“OK, that’s the good news.”
