Tragic. Just tragic. It seems like just yesterday we were dashing to our local Kmart in hopes of securing one of the hottest, most demanded products on the market. First, it was the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/augens-99-genbook-smartbook-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$99 GenBook</a>, and days later, it was the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Gentouch 78</a>. Now, it appears that neither of those <i>absolutely astounding</i> pieces of kit will ever be produced again, as Augen's website has been cold and unresponsive for the better part of a month. It's not picking up the phone, and it's not replying to emails. We'd bother to weep, but we have to wonder how bad things truly are if it took the world four full weeks to notice one's disappearance.

<div style="text-align: left;">It's baaack!

But Augen isn't stopping there, it has a few more tablet treats coming, and we got a chance to check 'em out in Vegas. Hit the break for the lowdown on the company's four new tablets and don't forget to stop on by the gallery below to peruse the hands-on shots. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Whoa there <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/augen?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen</a>, you may want to slow down on the artificial sweeteners. Stealing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/31/archos-unleashes-five-five-new-android-froyo-tablets-we-go-h/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">a page from Archos</a>, the company that brought us that unforgettable <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$150 Kmart tablet</a> is prepping six (yes, half a dozen!) <a href="http://Android 2.2">Android 2.2</a> "Espresso" / "Latte" tablets to launch before the end of the year, and while some are your run-of-the-mill pads at this point, the Espresso Doppio and the Espresso Firma are all sorts of mind blowing. The $599.99 10.2-inch Doppio has a 1024x768-resolution capacitive touchscreen, an accelerometer, 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU, and a 3 megapixel front facing cam, but most interestingly, it'll dual boot Android and some version of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Ubuntu/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Ubuntu</a>. But it gets even zanier -- it comes with a dock that has a backlit keyboard, multitouch trackpad, and a 160GB hard drive. And apparently both components contain separate 6000mAh batteries, which should bring the runtime up to 15 hours. Bold, indeed. The Firma, on the other hand, is priced at $349.99, but seems like a science project at this point. According to the company, it will come with a "magical wand" or ink pen that'll be able to write on regular paper, but instantly bring that handwriting to the 7-inch resistive tablet. It's evidently using RF technology with some sort of proprietary software. To say we're intrigued would be an understatement, but, of course, with the company's history we'd say we're <em>somewhat</em> skeptical. <br />
<br />
Obviously, Augen's got more affordable and realistic options scattered throughout the lines. There's the $199 7-inch resistive touch Latte, which in all honesty doesn't sound all that different from the original <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Gentouch 78</a>, though there <em>is</em> an included stylus and 2GB of storage. However, the $249.99 Latte Grande steps it up with an 800MHz CPU, 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, accelerometer and an ambient light sensor. The rest of the Espresso line is a lot stronger (pun sadly intended!) -- each have 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 / A9 processors, capacitive screens and accelerometers. The entry level $349.99 7-inch Espresso will have a Cortex A9 processor, 8GB of memory, and a 3 megapixel front facing camera, while the $429.99 10.2-inch Espresso Dolce gets a larger 1024x768-resolution screen, but drops down to an A8 CPU. We understand that it's a lot to digest, but there's always the press release and renders below to help you make more sense of this highly caffeinated company.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen's future Android tablets</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/3446291?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/dolce1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/3446292?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/doppio11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/3446293?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/doppio251_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/3446294?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/espresso1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augens-future-android-tablets/3446296?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/firma1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></div>

Didn't get in on one of those $199 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/netbook/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">netbook</a> closeouts earlier in the year? If you're willing to deal with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Android/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Android</a> (an Android that lacks bona fide Android Market access), you can redeem yourself right now. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Augen/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen</a>'s 10.2-inch netbook, dubbed the GenBook 108, is now on sale through Kmart, offering a 1024 x 600 resolution display, an 800MHz ARM11 processor, 256MB of DDR2 memory, 802.11b/g WiFi, an SD / MMC card slot and a 2100mAh battery. The whole shebang weighs just 1.8 pounds, and Augen even throws in a (p)leather carry case, a USB cable and a 93 percent full-size keyboard. Get in on the fun for just $189.99 -- but you may want to read about our disappointment with the outfit's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Gentouch 78</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/augens-99-genbook-smartbook-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$99 netbook</a> before carelessly pulling the trigger. <br />

Everyone deserves a second chance, right? In the world of cheapo tablets, sure! Or at least that's our attitude when it comes to a company like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/augen?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen</a>. Sure, it was just about a month ago that it released its $150 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">GenTouch78</a> at Kmart, but it's planning some future tablet products and hoping to right all those previous wrongs. According to the statement put out by the company, this new set of "Espresso" tablets will be unveiled at CES 2011 and will span from 7 to 10 inches diagonally. They'll still be aggressively priced and range from $200 to $400, but at least this time around it's planning for some with capacitive touchscreens. Other specs are of the fairly cookie cutter mold: WiFi, an accelerometer and more storage space. No word on what version of Android they'll run, but there's mention of a new "human friendly input." That all sounds much better than the previous GenTouch products we've seen, but by the time January rolls around there's no telling what the tablet landscape could look like. We'll be following this one to see if Augen can keep the caffeine in its system, but hit the break for the full statement and one more render.

The future for Augen's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$150 tablet</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/augens-99-genbook-smartbook-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$100 smartbook</a> isn't looking good -- not only do the blue-light specials have slow processors and resistive touchscreens, but their official Google app privileges have just been revoked. To be fair, Android Market actually wasn't working on either device from the get-go, but Augen just sent us a statement confirming that the entire proprietary suite (including Market, Gmail and more) was preloaded on the devices without Google's permission, and won't appear on new batches that make it to store shelves. Augen says it's working with Google to secure rights to these apps for new products further down the road, but if you want a dirt-cheap mass market Android device with these apps preinstalled, you'd best head on down to Kmart... assuming they're <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/augens-150-android-tablet-hits-kmart-circular-coming-to-store/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">finally in stock</a>, of course. Press release after the break.

For your viewing pleasure, we sit down with insightful game designer Peter Molyneux to get the inside scoop on some of his ongoing projects, from Milo to Fable III.

They dive into <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/WindowsPhone7/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Windows Phone 7</a> and do battle with K-mart's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Augen/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen</a> Android tablet, and a bunch of audience members walk away with giveaways.

It's taken quite a bit of chasing (and Kmart stalking) this week to score Augen's $150 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/augens-150-android-tablet-hits-kmart-circular-coming-to-store/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Gentouch Android tablet</a>, but lo' and behold, the gadget is now in its rightful home... <em>our</em> home! We don't need to tell you that we ferociously ripped open the box to finally see how the Android 2.1 tablet performs, test out its touchscreen and see if it actually has access to app stores (unlike Augen's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/augens-99-genbook-smartbook-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">smartbook</a> which we toyed with earlier this week). We're assuming you're just as eager to find out the answers to those questions, so hit that read more button for some early impressions as well as a hands-on video. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen Gentouch 78 preview</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/3222797?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook7801_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/3222798?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook7802_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/3222799?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook7803_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/3222801?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook7804_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-gentouch-78-preview/3222802?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook7805_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div>

That's right, not only does <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/augens-150-android-tablet-hits-kmart-circular-coming-to-store/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen</a> -- a company unbeknown to us before yesterday -- make an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/augens-150-android-tablet-hits-kmart-circular-coming-to-store/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">$150 Android 2.1 tablet</a>, but the company is also stocking Kmart shelves with a $99 Android <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/smartbook?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">smartbook</a> of sorts. How'd we find out about this one? Well, when we headed to our local Kmart in hopes of picking up the 7-inch tablet, one last, very lonely GenBook 74 was dwelling on the shelf. We aren't the kind of people that could just leave the little guy there all alone, so $100 later we were the proud owners of a 7-inch, Android 1.6 clamshell device. Is the little laptop <em>really </em>capable of surfing the web and downloading apps, or would your hard earned cash be better spent elsewhere? Find out after the break. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Augen $99 GenBook preview</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/3210511?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/3210513?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/3210514?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/3210515?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/augen-99-genbook-preview/3210516?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/07/augengenbook05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div>

We can't say we've heard of Augen before, but the company certainly sparked our interest (and that of Kmart circular readers) this weekend with its $149.99 7-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/android?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Android </a>tablet. Oh yes, you heard right shoppers -- the small Florida-based shop is bringing an Android 2.1 tablet with WiFi, 2GB of storage and 256MB of RAM to a store near you for just 150 buckaroos. And according to an Augen spokesperson, it will have access to the Android "Market App Store." That sounds pretty awesome for the pricetag, but we -- along with a number of readers we've heard from -- haven't been able to locate the 7-inch tablet at any Kmart retail location just yet. (Yes, we even spent a lovely ten minutes on hold with our local store while they checked the inventory.) We're told by Augen that the device should be hitting shelves later this week, though the company was unsure it would ever land on Kmart's online store. In addition to the 7-inch tablet, Augen has also released its $89 TheBook e-reader with a similar 7-inch LCD. It doesn't run Android, but you can check out an in-depth look at its Linux OS in <em>The eReader's</em> video review after the break. We'll be keeping an ear to the ground on the availability of the tablet and will be trying to get one in our hands to confirm the preloaded Market, but let us know in the comments if you've had any luck yourselves. <br />
<br />
[Thanks, Matthew]<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: We've been hearing from a bunch of readers that many Kmarts are giving out "rainchecks" and that they will be calling customers when the Augen tablet arrives later this week.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update 2: </strong>Yep, <a href="http://blogs.mykmart.com/2010/07/augen-7-inch-android-tablet-update.html">Kmart's updated its blog</a> with info on the "rainchecks."<br />
<br />
<strong>Update 3</strong>: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/profile/3583383/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Rdearth53</a> got his very own tablet! Check the video after the break. We're still tracking one down!
