The Commuter Series also has the self-adhering screen protector, and then “wrapped in durable silicone and fortified with a one piece custom molded polycarbonate shell that snaps perfectly over the outside”.

You may have heard some news of late about the Augen Genbook 74, the smartbook part of Augen’s recent offerings that are both powered by Google’s Android OS and are able to access the Android Market app stores. They’re only available in K-Mart stores, you understand, and thus fairly hard to find.
I found one, and now, you’re getting a review. And I’ll say this much, the only good thing about me buying this miserable scrap heap of a netbook is that K-Mart has a ninety day return policy.
The Augen Genbook 74 netbook offers up a seven inch LCD monitor, a 400 MHz CPU, a hundred and twenty eight meg of RAM, Wi-Fi and Ethernet access, three USB ports, a microphone jack and a speaker jack.
Almost from the word go, things went wrong with this netbook. The screen started out locked, demanding I press the “menu” key to unlock it. Sure enough, no key on the keyboard bears the name “menu”. I eventually discovered it was a key that looked like writing on a page but that’s hardly fair. I began to use the netbook, with its horribly cramped control scheme much like the earlier Augen we discussed from Geeks.com, and got regular signal errors coming off my normally stable broadband. I didn’t use Wi-Fi, either, I used ETHERNET. An actual cable connection was unstable. And lest you blame the cable I’m using it right now, have been for weeks, without incident. Access to the Android Market was fraught with errors, requiring me to reconnect on a regular basis. And perhaps the worst of it was how HOT the stupid thing got–fifteen minutes of being plugged in left the AC adapter HOT TO THE TOUCH.
Like Fry once snarled in an episode of Futurama, “That dog won’t hunt, Monsignor.”
The only good thing to say about this is its relatively low price tag–at a hundred bucks, it’s pretty cheap. It’s just too bad that it’s completely useless.
The Augen Genbook 74 has virtually no redeeming features aside from the fact that it may one day be a collectible because no one will keep this malfunctioning piece of garbage one second longer than they have to.

 MyFitnessPal is a free calorie counter and exercise tracker for online and mobile, similar to MiCoach and Pedal Brain. It is just been released to Android recently, and the iOS app has been downloaded one million times.
It has quite a community, and this is the Press Release after the jump:
MyFitnessPal.com Brings Free Calorie Counter & Fitness Tracker to Android Market
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MyFitnessPal.com, a leading social network with more than one million users interested in diet and fitness, has made a mobile version of its popular online calorie counter available as a free download in Android Market™. MyFitnessPal’s Android Calorie Counter follows the successful MyFitnessPal iPhone app, which saw more than one million downloads and remains in the top five Health & Fitness apps since its launch in December 2009.
“The combination of the tracker tools and the community are what makes this so successful. Support and motivation from other like-minded people is key. I will continue to recommend MyFitnessPal to any client, family member or friend who needs help sticking to a diet and fitness plan.”
One of the fastest growing diet and fitness sites on the web, MyFitnessPal.com boasts a community of more than 1,000,000 members who use the free service daily to track both diet and exercise. MyFitnessPal’s searchable food database contains nutritional information for more than 476,000 food items, both homemade and store-bought. The MyFitnessPal exercise database calculates how many calories are burned based on the user’s weight, the duration of exercise and the type of exercise – ranging from house cleaning to a game of squash to playing Wii Tennis. For the few items that aren’t already available, members can also add personal foods and exercises to both databases at any time.
“Studies have shown that the more consistently a person tracks calories, the more likely they are to lose weight – so we make it as easy as possible to count calories,” said Mike Lee, co-founder of MyFitnessPal. “We’ve also found that members who use both our website and our mobile apps together lose 250% more weight on average than members who use just the web alone – that’s more than double the weight loss! So we’re really excited to bring MyFitnessPal to Android as well.”
Every member of MyFitnessPal establishes a personalized diet profile based on individual weight loss goals. The myriad calculators on MyFitnessPal allow users to track their progress throughout the day, and easily see how many calories have been used – and how many are still available – for the remainder of the day.
Kelly Kocalis, a MyFitnessPal member since March, has already lost 38 pounds. “I love that myfitnesspal.com has added an Android app,” she said. “The ability to search for nutrition information and update my foods on the run has saved me from making unwise food choices, and it has saved me time. Previously I had to write down what I’d eaten during the day and then enter it on my computer at night. It is a priceless upgrade!”
The Android app allows members full access to their account, including the entire food and exercise database, where they can log information and keep notes in their diet diary. All changes made on the phone will be synchronized with the website and vice versa whenever an Internet connection is available.
“MyFitnessPal members are achieving amazing results,” said personal trainer Tonya L. Davis-Miller, who recommends the service to her clients to help track what they eat. “The combination of the tracker tools and the community are what makes this so successful. Support and motivation from other like-minded people is key. I will continue to recommend MyFitnessPal to any client, family member or friend who needs help sticking to a diet and fitness plan.”

The guys over at App Advice got to talk with Dissident, the creator of the infamous cracked app store AppTrackr. In this candid but revealing chat, Dissident shared some interesting numbers about iPhone app piracy.
According to Dissident, Installous, the app used to download these cracked applications is installed on 4 million iPhones, which represents about 4% of all iOS devices in the world. That’s insane, isn’t it?
Last week we reported about the logic behind iPhone app piracy. Dissident holds the same kind of speech. Here are some of the excerpts from his interview:
I know for a fact that a good share of our users trial applications, and that’s the only reason I continue to work for the community. A very, very considerable portion of our users do so. The user should be able to have a risk-free trial of the application. The user should not have to purchase the application for any amount of money. The user should be given ample time for testing. This trial system should be available for all applications. Developers can be given some flexibility on a per-app basis, but abuse cannot be tolerated and the policy cannot be too lenient.
I do agree that Apple should let people try out applications for a period of 24 hours. I however doubt the honesty of Dissident when he claims his service’s sole goal is to help people try applications out.
Apple can work around the edges to either please us or displease us, and that’s really all it comes down to. Indeed, our services will no longer be required if Apple implements such a system.
I don’t believe one word of that.
What about you? What do you think about app piracy? Do you download cracked apps? Do you do so because you want to be able to try applications before buying them?
