july 2 2010 review by engadget
Retailer Kmart sells the Augen Gentouch 78, a 7-inch (WVGA 800 x 480) touchscreen 2GB Android slate with WIFI, priced at $149.99. OS: Android 2.1 -- Processor : an unknown 800MHz CPU.
Hardware:
MAde entirely of black plastic. The $199 Archos 7 Home Tablet feels a lot sturdier and is also a bit thinner. Still, this tablet is satisfactorily light and it's easy to hold up to read a website or e-book. 7-inch tablets are an ideal
size for holding in one hand. Surrounding the tablet is a micro-USB port, a 2.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot.
Screen:
An 800 x 480 resolution 7-inch display. To make selections you can use a stylus or fingernail. There's a slight gap between the glass of the screen and the actual display. There's also no accelerometer or software for adjusting the
screen orientation.
Performance :
If you're an Android user, you'll feel quite at home. The reviewers had wished there was a home and back button on the front of the device. The GenTouch tablet is nowhere near as slow as the GenBook, scrolling is quite delayed and
launching applications takes a noticeable few seconds. Still the tablet is capable of doing things like loading and watching YouTube videos as well as surfing the web. There's 2GB of memory, and expandable with (max 16GB) SDcards.
