Well it connects to the same Internet as our ipads, and probably supports Flash, and the Kindle reader, so not only possible, but probable.

If you are looking for a media player, it might actually play more formats without the hassle of iTunes.

I dont think anyone thinks this is "better" than an iPad in an all-around assessment. Its $150 and it probably does some things well. Why does everyone have to look down their nose and call it crap? If it works for you and fits your budget, buy it. I wish them great success.

Another user review popped up (in two parts):

Dailymotion - Augen 7" Gentouch Android Tablet PC Review pt 1 - a Film & TV video

Dailymotion - Augen review pt 2 - a Tech & Science video

OK so I watched the reviews. I'm the kind of person that has a couple hundred hanging around to try on the latest and greatest gadget - but to be honest I'll probably pass on this one. It looks, at least to me, like a POS.

Certainly not an iPad killer.

I can not imagine anyone that wants an iPad buying this thing instead.

That's interesting. I own a nexus one - with supposedly the same OS - and, I agree with with the poster who said that this device was not made to be a iPad killer. My phone seems more smoother than this device, judging from the videos.

I wanted an iPad, and I bought this. I'll tell you why.

$150 < $500

I have, perhaps, $50 a month to spend on extras (not food, utilities, etc.) meaning that I would have to save money for almost a year to buy an iPad, or I can get this in 3 months. I had been saving for the iPad, but this suits my needs. I wanted something that the kids could watch videos, listen to music and play games. My 4-year old knows how to use a stylus from the DS, so he can play games on this.

It is a simple equation, the iPad costs too much...

Should have gone with an iPod Touch...

The launch version was buggy as hell but according to the promises they made about their next patch that should come out next week, the Gentouch should be quite awesome for the price!

I really like the idea of a cheap iPad alternative. If only the battery technology would be as advanced as everything that run on batteries
If the Augen Gentouch or other similar little devices would run like 5 days without having to recharge now that would be a evolution! I think that we`ll see $150 tablets with 3g, wifi and gps in few months!

It's your choice based on your budget no one elses. The iPad does not suit every one and much as you would like one it is out of reach for you. I believe Apple will release a smaller 7 inch iPad by fall in USA which will have a lower price point.
The iPad is great value for the money and pricing I believe is spot on

It is all about what you want and if the shoe fits wear it
