Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a cup of coffee just as much as the next guy, but I just think I had all the Espressos and Lattes that I can take from Augen, the company just announcing no less then six Android based tablets, ranging in sizes from 7 to 10 inches.

Normally I would start things off with the Latte series, but, since the more powerful Espresso line is the one to capture my attention, we will go for a Espresso first, the Doppio and Firma being especially interesting, since the former comes with a dual-boot Android/Ubuntu OS and a detachable QWERTY chocolate style LED backlit keyboard while the latter comes with some sort of “magical wand pen.”

This pen will allow users to take notes that, thanks to a special software of some sort, will be transferred digitally to the 7" dual-CPU packing tablet.

Other features will include a WVGA resistive touchscreen, 2GB of built-in memory and WiFi-802.11a/b/g/n connectivity.

WiFi will be also available in the Droppio, although this time users get a bigger 10.2 inch 1024x768 multi-touch capacitative screen, a faster 1GHz processor backed by 512MB of RAM memory, a 3MP front facing webcam and 3 axis accelerometer/compass.

Although everything seems pretty standard at this point, the Droppio also packs a detachable LED backlit keyboard that adds a 160GB built-in hard drive and its own 6000mAh battery to the mix, enabling this tablet (or notebook if you so prefer) to run up to 15 hours without a recharge.

And that's not all, since the Droppio also comes with a dual-boot option, enabling users to choose its operating system of choice from Android or Ubuntu Linux.

The 10.2 inch 1024x768 multi-touch display has been retained in the Espresso Dolce, although this time we don't get any of those interesting options available in its older brothers, this Android 2.2 tablet also featuring a Cortex A8 1GHz CPU processor together with 8GB built-in flash, forward-facing 3 megapixel video conferencing capable camera, Bluetooth 2.1, 3 axis accelerometer/compass, a SD card slot lot as well as a HDMI output and an ambient light sensor.



Even more basic is the vanilla version Espresso that has to make do with only a 7-inch 800x600 multi-touch display, although this time we get a faster Cortex A9 1GHz CPU processor as well as all the ordinary bells and whistles that come standard with a modern day, Android tablet.

Since that is all the Espresso that we get for now, I will move on to the Latte line, that features two seven-inch offerings, the vanilla version coming with a 800x480 resistive panel that also incorporates 2GB of built-in flash memory as well as WiFi-802.11a/b/g/n.

As a step-up from the basic Latte we get the Grande that, despite its name, also comes with a 7 inch touchscreen, although this time is of the capacitative kind, together with a 800MHz CPU, 2GB built-in flash storage, WiFi, a micro SD card slot as well as an HDMI output.

End of it all, these tablets will range in prices from $199 to $599.99, Augen saying they will all be optimized for its very own SlideME Applications Store.
