The future for $ 150 and $ 100 tablet Augen Smart Book is not looking good – not just the blue light specials are slow processor and resistive touch screens, but their official Google app privileges have just been withdrawn. To be honest, actually Android Market was not working on a device from the get-go, but Augen just sent us an indication that the entire private suite (including market, Gmail and more) is preloaded on the devices without permission Google and will not appear on the new parties in the shops. Augen says that working with Google to rights in these apps for new products further down the road safer, but if you want this cheap mass market Android phone with pre-installed apps, you better head down to Kmart … Assuming that they are finally in stock, of course. Press release after the break.

Sure, we’ve heard talk Android Verizon tablets once or twice, but it’s just that we have our first real juice Companion Motorola phone gets. The Financial Times reports that Verizon and Motorola are working together on an Android-tablet with dual cameras, Adobe Flash support and a ten inch screen, plus mobile hotspot functionality (which implies Verizon mobile data) and – get this – access to pay TV . If it happens, makes a Moto Verizon FiOS set-top box, and the sources of the Times to tell the television tablet may have grandfathered in the very same technology. No word on price or processing power, but the rumor mill says that we could see it so early in the autumn of this year. And given the timing, here’s hoping the inside Android will have some Google TV mojo, too.
