Coby Kyros 10.1-Inch Android 2.3 4 GB Internet Tablet with Capacitive Touchscreen - MID1125-4G Reviews Full of Functionality
The Kyros is a great tablet, and since it's priced about the same as the Kindle Fire, it's only fair to compare the two. ==== Ways the Kyros beats the Kindle Fire:- It has a 10" screen! It's much better for games and movies. Big enough that two people can watch together. The screen resolution is the same as the Fire. Movie playback looks really, really good on the Kyros.- You can plug in a micro SD card to add another 32GB of space to the Kyros, for a total of 36GB. Great for storing up videos / music / whatever before you go on a long trip. This is missing on the Kindle Fire. The Fire only has 6GB of usable space, with no way to expand it. So when you're outside of Wifi range, the Kyros is a way better option.- It has a camera and a microphone, which the Fire lacks. Quality's nothing special, but they work.- The Kyros has devoted buttons for Menu and Back. I find this easier than the touchscreen based ones on the Fire.- There's an HDMI output port, so you can plug it into your TV. I haven't tried this yet.======But hey, the Kindle Fire's no slouch either. Ways the Kindle Fire beats the Kyros:- The Fire has a slightly faster processor (dual-core) and more RAM than the Kyros. The Kyros runs all the games and movies I've tried just fine, but maybe there's some time the extra power would be useful.- The Fire is smaller and easier to hold. It makes a better handheld reader than the Kyros does.- It's more mainstream, which means getting things working on the Fire tends to be easier. For example, the latest version of the Netflix app runs kind of weird on the Kyros, so I had to download version 2.2 instead. Once I did, it worked great. ======Overall I've been pleasantly surprised with the Kyros. It's awesome for watching Netflix movies, playing games, reading comics - all the usual tablet stuff. You can install the Kindle app and the Amazon marketplace on it too, so it becomes like a large-screen Fire with way more capabilities. Lastly, a helpful hint. When you get it, the first thing you want to do is install the Android marketplace so you can get the best apps. There are instructions online for how to do this; google around a bit. I followed instructions I found on a website called "xda-developers". It takes a little bit of technical skill, so, if you're not tech-savvy, ask someone for help. I used a micro-SD card to transfer the files and it took about 15 minutes total.
