Reviews Of Coby Kyros 7-Inch Android 2.3 4 GB Internet Touchscreen Table- MID7016-4G
I got mine a week ago and almost returned it less than in two days. It did not power up, was absolutely dead. The solution was very simple. Just press RESET with a paper clip for a couple of seconds and everything was fixed. It was my fault in the first place. I drained the battery completely and the unit just was unable to wake up. Pros: It is small,but big enough to surf the web comfortably, read e-mails,view video. It is light and thin, but feels very solid and well built. It does not look or feel cheap like many gray market tablets from China.Guess where this one was made? It has sensitive resistive screen, but if you have been using your Android phone, equipped with capacitive screen, you will need a little bit of time to get used to different way of touching the screen.It works great with just finger touch (actually, but nail),but for the precise touch without magnifying the screen - stylus is very helpful. The screen is very clear and bright.It has very sensitive buttons which are lit when touched. The battery life is great.The sound is not very loud, but loud enough to listen to the news, etc. You can listen to music, but the sound quality is much better using earphones (included).It has USB (full size) and HDMI ports and expandable memory via microSD, it also has 4GB memory. It comes with basic applications installed, but you can add more from Appslib (also preinstalled) or download directly from the web.Customer service from Adorama, where I got mine, was absolutely fantastic. Coby website has a lot of helpful tips with video, FAQs,etc. Have not tried their customer service due to no need, but read reviews that they are great. Cons:Very sensitive buttons. Yes, I mentioned it earlier as a positive, but it is a negative as well. The buttons react even to the slightest accidental touch, so you are kicked out of where you were easily. The good thing is the return button will bring you back also easily, but it can be frustrating at times. It comes with a black sleeve, which looks nice, but it is not protective enough. It will definitely protect the unit from scratches,but it does not give enough of protection to the screen if you carry your unit in a purse.It fits the unit like a glove, but due to nice tight fit is activates very sensitive power button. It was the reason why I drained my battery. I turned the unit off and then put the sleeve on and it activated power button and turned the unit on without me knowing it. I am planning to get one of those leather cases, maybe with USB keyboard,from eBay.There is no easy way to root it yet.Forums also do not have a solution yet. Overall, it is a great gadget. I did a lot of research and looked at many units in different price range. I was looking first for the unlocked unit with 3g-4g capability, but I have already got my Android Dell Venue with this capability.I decided it would be not wise to pay for data for both units, or keep swapping a SIM card between them, when I can just tether my Venue to connect Coby to the Web.There are tons of free hot spots in my area, so did need tethering so far.There are unlocked 3G units (Huawei, Viewsonic), but you pay almost twice you would pay for Coby.You can get Samsung Galaxy or Dell Streak for $199, but then you are stuck with the data plan for two years. I did not even consider iPad. I can not justify to pay 3x (4x -5x more for added storage) for the unit. The Appslib is similar to Android Market, but has mush less choices. I found out that do not need that many choices any way. You are installing only so many applications. I downloaded Adobe Flash 10.1 and Skype Light Beta directly from the web, which was very easy. Googles Flash.apk and Skype.apk on my Coby.I found out that not all the applications which are running on my Dell Venue run the same way or work at all on Coby.But was ready for that knowing that Android 2.2 is not a tablet OS and some limitation should be expected. It did not make my experience less enjoyable.

I was an owner of the previous model of the 7" Kyros (the MID7015). I was happy with it, despite its limitations and flaws. I bought this one with hopes it was merely a fix of the previous version. It is not. It is an entirely different product. Everything has been improved, including external controls and speakers. It has a much higher quality build in every way, and all the features have been improved. The software, Android 2.2, works much better and it is very fast. Its camera, microphone, stereo speakers, and faster CPU have resulted in a tablet which is very useful without any apparent flaws. I first bought the 7015 after trying a Nook and realising it would be perfect if it only was unlocked. This tablet has surpassed all of those specifications I had in mine, and still is a very good price. The one thing is that it is a resistive touch screen. This means it needs pressure. I wanted such as screen so I wouldn't always get fingerprints over it. The Kyros 70 series all have such screens, and an included stylus. This model does not come with the same jacket its predecessor had (it has a good sleeve though) and it does not hold the stylus in the case.As with the others, this device does not have the Google Market. It has Applib. However, one can easily install the Amazon Appstore on it (go to the Amazon site, give email address, and download it from email sent by Amazon). I have not rooted this device because there is no need (I did on the 7015). I use Opera Mini for web browsing and the included Browser for watching Youtube videos.Games such as Angry Birds render and run fine on this device, although, I have not extensively tested such apps on it. It is also a good device as a book reader, with the app of your choice (Kindle for me), and it is more versatile, but less expensive, than comparable devices.

I just tested one of these and was able to quickly install Android Market, Adobe Flash, Netflix, and a bunch of other apps. All of the applications that I installed work well and this tablet is NOT slow. I am very pleased with the performance so far. I have used an iPad2 extensively before testing a Coby Kyros 1024. For the money you can't beat the Coby Kyros 1024 with the capacitive multi-touch screen. Sure the iPad2 is awesome but not for $500+. The Kyros is priced right and actually very easy to use. For those that are griping about the screen, turn up the screen brightness, the setting is under "Settings". I was also about to gripe about the screen but I discovered the setting was set to absolute low. Just spend a little time on getting to know the Kyros user interface Android 2.2. If you already have an Android phone you should have no problems. I've been testing the Kyros for 2 days and have figured out just about everything concerning navigating the tablet and customizing screens, very easy. I also find the styling of this tablet to be very nice. While not as thin as the others, it is still thin, definitely thin enough for me. In conclusion, I highly recommended the Kyros 1024 tablet!NOTE: The web cam is not the greatest, works well enough though. When video conferencing (video out from you to the other party) using your "front camera" is NOT supported on any Android 2.2 devices at the moment, including the Kyros. YOU CAN VIDEO CALL AND SEE THE OTHER PARTY but they can't see you. Fring works well for video calls if you want to do that. The Kyros does not have a rear camera. While the iPad2 has both a front and rear camera, I have never used either for video conferencing. I have used the Kyros front camera for recording video email via the Yahoo Mail application I installed from the Android Market.

After studying tablets, we decided this one was the best for the buck. *We purchased this for our child.* Of course, not wishing to spend big bucks on an ipad (or that sort). We opted to get this instead of a portable game system or ipod. I was really surprised by the overall quality of this product. I have loaded it with apps and it works flawlessly. I have yet to try anything like sketchbook pro on it, but most of the apps available here on amazon have been fine. For a beginner, this is absolutely awesome! My child reads, plays games, produces and watches her own videos with it. She may also surf the internet as long as there is WiFi. Many will be displeased with the battery life. Based on the amount of time we allow her to use it, it works for us to get 1-2 hours of battery life out of it. Fully charged, the longest has been about 4 hours. So, that may give way to criticism. The OS that it comes with is very easy to use (ANDROID 2.2). We have owned it for 6 months now, and honestly, I expected it to be broken by now, but it has held up very well. I recommend this to any parent whose child wants an electronic gaming system, ipod, or tablet.
