Laptop Thoughts: Engadget Reviews the Gentouch 78

"We'll be spending a bit more time with the Gentouch 78 to make a final call on its functionality, but it's crystal clear that this isn't a high-end device. If you were hoping to find a beautiful iPad substitute for a fraction of the cost, keep on looking. However, considering most Kmarts have been selling out of these within hours of receiving new inventory, this just may be the answer all you cheap tablet seekers have been looking for -- just be prepared to put up with more than a few annoyances along the way."

Engadget has done a quick review. It looks like there are definitely some quirks, but in my opinion most appear to be acceptable for a $150 device. The one thing that may be a deal-breaker is that the advertised market availability does not seem to be realistic. I'll report back on that more as soon as I get my hands on one.
