Has Budget Tablet and e-Reader Maker Augen Finally Gone Under?

You may have remember a few months back when Augen released what could only be described as a sad attempt at an Android powered netbook, the GenBook108. For those that rushed to K-Mart and spent the $100 on the device, they were met with cheap hardware, poor build quality and units that would occasionally power on. Yeah, it was that bad.Well, after 2 years of dismal sales and lackluster products, Augen may have finally gone the way of the dinosaur. Apparently their website has been down for over a month and the company is no longer returning emails or phone calls. I guess no amount of shoddy e-readers or poor Android devices could have saved them. R.I.P., Augen.[Via TheDigitalReader]
