Coby Kyros MID7015 7-Inch Android Internet Touchscreen Tablet - Black
Review by Decbuyer : Coby Kyros MID 7015

OK. From what I could find, as far as reviews go, on the Internet, about this unit, the little available was basically worthless for making any kind of informative opinion as to whether this item would be a good buy.
So, after researching what I could of the various Android OS Internet Tablets out there (most with terrible reviews of hardware issues), and considering the purchase price, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the Coby unit. I was at first leary of buying something of this nature which is made by Coby, a manufacturer of basically cheap, low end electronics.
I purchased this unit (K-Mart, $149.95(save $30) in 12/12/10 - 12/19/10 AD - I also bought an additional year replacement contract for under $18 - a good idea on new electronics!), and immediately plugged it in to charge the battery (it notified of full charge after 1-1/2 hours). I decided to play with the unit a little, since I could not resist. I will say, I was impressed with the quality of the unit, it seems very sturdy and well built. It powered up fine and I found it very easy to navigate thru the functions (both on screen and the case side buttons). Of course, I recommend that you visit coby.com and download the manual in PDF format (as I did several days ago).
Now, as far as the touch screen, it functions excellent in my opinion. None of the quirks other mention about this unit or other units being sold. And forget about HAVING to use yor fingernail or the stylus to select or scroll. It works great with my finger tip, better than even the stylus. I admit, the finger swipe method to scroll thru lists or menus takes a bit of practice, but that may be only me, because I have never used a touch screen device of this type before. Oh, and the actual look of the screen (800x480 TFT), very nice. Again, better than expected. Enough about that. It just works.
Setting up a wireless connection was simple and effortless (using my own home wireless connection). Surfing the Internet was easy too, once you get used to seeing "mobile device formatted" versions of web pages. All my favorite web pages loaded quickly (I mean fast) and problem free. (For those interested, even Facebook loads and works fine - I tried it). The Ap for Youtube works great as well. Youtube videos load as fast as my desktop PC and of all the 10 or more that I tried, they played without any delay, chopping or buffering. Way better than I expected.
Using the Email AP, I very quickly set up a POP3 account and sent and received messages effortlessly (all verified).
File transfers to and from my PC went smooth, using the included USB cable (to the Coby's internal 4GB memory - I have yet to buy a mini SD expansion card).
The included Ebook reader works perfectly too.
And, the built in accelerometer works nice. The screen will automatically change from portait and landscape mode, with only perhaps a 1 second delay. (The screen self-rotates 360 degrees - upside down, etc).
The only thing I can mention, which was not expected, is that when you go to the Apps Library onine for additional Aps, many are listed, and listed as free too. But when you choose them (all that I tried) and download them, the start up screen for the Ap gives mention that you can purchase it or continue with 15 day free trial. To me, that is called "limited shareware", not a Free Ap! Perhaps some are indeed free, but I did not bother to search thru the hundreds and hundreds offered, and there is no advance way to know if they ARE indeed free. I am not really an AP person, so none of that really matters to me. The unit does, as it is, what I expected and bought it for, and it does it well.
*One note. If you purchase one of these, there is a firmware update on Coby's site, with a Youtube instruction video as well. You WILL need a mini SD card (8Gb or less in size) to install the update file onto first, as the update takes place in the Coby unit itself (from the memory card). (I have not yet done this, but will next week). After this update, the site states that the unit will show even better performance.
Battery life is stated to be 7 hours (we will see), with it's rechargeable 3200 mAh battery (a larger capacity than most other brand tablets).
That is my experience with this unit. I purchased it for the small, light form factor (no more clunky laptop), the wireless Internet, Email function, Reader and MP3 player, things I use often on the move (outside on lunch break at work, in bed at night or anywhere in the house or workplace, etc), but hate being tied to a power cord or a heavy laptop. So far, it has shown to serve this purpose with flying colors. (Some people have cellphones to do these tasks, but I hate cellphones and believe they are the leading cause of added stupidity in this country).
Included is a vice semi-hard protective case, wall charger, ear buds, USB Host cable (for thumb drives, mouse, etc) and a USB transfer cable to connect to a PC or laptop.
I realize I have not covered everything pertaining to this unit, but I wanted to post a good and a truly honest review for prospective buyers. I hope it will be of help to someone.
I love it and look forward to being productive with it. Merry Christmas to me!

Review by J. Sanders "Married father of three," : Be smart, research anything you purchase before setting expectations

The problem is the negative reviewers here, like so many others before you buy it on the hope and expectation. Simply put, you must do your homework before purchasing anything to keep from being deceived by false hopes. I have three of the reach of the posts on my son, and spent about 4 to 5 days to research all current Android tablets are available in price range before picking one. The units under $ 200, the best performance Kryos, hardware, and the options available. Some cost up to, but $ 30 or more per unit.

I already know what to expect with the positive and negative for most of the resistive screen products as nice as our Moto Driod etc. But the facts at hand, with many of the features they offer and the low price I was very comfortable to buy three of the Christmas gifts for my loved ones.

If you have an iPhone and are looking at one of the tablets Android as a free choice, then you have already set up the confusion. Repeat.The screen on the same technology to identify the touch screen or more, mainly because of their mobile brethren. Resistive screen is much like the older phones to interact with the Windows Print Screen. The pen will be more exact, of course, but not always necessary for the touch screen.

As for surfing, but it is so fast that the wireless connection can be a. To view many of the other changes made during the trial, Colby pages load response time is excellent. Except as any device, including laptops, high-performance wireless signal strength, speed internet, and many other factors come into play when you decide to hit home.

I can honestly say that this is really the most fun things you can pick up low Date Price features.They, and should never be compared to the hardware resources, the iPhone, the dollar high, one ton more.But the third part of the price, I am very happier playing my HD movies and MP3 files, surf the Internet, email, etc.Then, look at the Android to pay the price for Apple.

And I have to correct all those out there bashing the lack of powerful Android Market. This is not an issue for mobile connectivity, or even more fun, "of obscure legal loophole" LOL! This is due to the fact that Google is required expensive licenses to manufacturers of their units to provide access to the market. Android Tablet series is still very new, and sales are not even take the story, and many still believe that the unit cost of welcome to production.When become profitable sales, which requires most of the manufacturers to follow.

Most will give tablets satisfaction that the distribution of media and internet device in your home.For those with little patience, you can save money and be happy at the same rest time.Beat bag for something slightly more expensive that we can not hear your cry buy poor research.And operated primarily for performance and are not afraid of technical challenges, to go out and upgrade this Kryos and you get plenty of open borders and the performance of hardware and operating systems.

Hope this helps someone out there. Good luck and happy shopping smart for the holidays!

Review by Mr Royal : AMAZING in every way and A GREAT VALUE.

I purchased this (COBY KYROS MID7015) android tablet from another retailer and ended up getting it for $149.97 (A Steal). I mention the model clearly because I have noticed many negative reviews on what I am sure is the previous model Coby Kyros 7005. I say that because the newer 7015 was just relesed on 12/1/10 at the earliest. You will see that many negative reviews were posted saying they had the COBY MID7015 before it was even available. If people want to post a negative review of a product they at the very least, SHOULD KNOW WHAT MODEL THEY ARE REVIEWING. That said, in my opinion this Coby MID7015 is an outstanding product. It does everything it claims it can do, and very well in fact. If you take your time and read the simple instructions it is very easy to set up. Even the internet runs very fast on this tablet, (decent wifi connection required). All other applications that come pre-loaded, and even the ones I have loaded myself, run great as well. The bottom line is this. For a full color e-reader (as good as my Daughters brand new $250.00 Nook color), and an amazing media player that plays everything I have thrown at it with ease, plus an android internet tablet with tons of free applications available, this one is a tough cookie to beat. At this price point this is a no brainer in my opinion :)

Review by KJ "KJ" : Very solid tablet, within reason

I am an IT Director and Developer and have owned or demoed many tablets. This tablet is very good for the price. It does not have multi-touch (though there are some forums where people are trying to get multi-touch on this resistive screen to work), it does not have bluetooth, it does not have GPS, it does not have cell-phone functionality...but it's a ~$150 "Internet Tablet".

I immediately flashed this to support Android Market (AppsLib is like a generic newspaper stand compared to the vast library that is Market). You can find copious help on xda-developers dot com forum. I followed the directions (using the Terminal Emulator) and it's been a wonderful experience ever since. Since the device does not natively support Froyo, Android 2.2., there are several teams of developers (including me) working on Froyo support. If you are interested in helping, google Android Development Unsupported Devices. Seeing the amount of interest and all-out effort being put into getting this tablet to support Froyo and 3.0, I firmly believe it will only be a matter of weeks.

You can install flash, look for Android 2.1 Flash 10 apk. The HDMI output is absdolutely stellar...now don't laugh, but Avatar looked pretty damn good coming from the media player on this.

I highly recommend at least getting an 8GB micro SDHC card (yes, SDHC). Some apps don't recognize the actual directory location of the sdcard, instead, some apps are looking in the NAND folder. Understanding this helps alot (for example Amazon's Kindle for Android software looks for docs in the NAND folder, but not the sdcard folder.)

Angry Birds works, but sometimes the words/text are whited-out. I found that if you play "Seasons" and let the Halloween intro load, then go back to the main Angry Birds screen, *most* of the text and 3-stars will magically appear...looks like a Rovio developer bug (damn Finlanders! (Olen Suomalainen!)

We recently purchased another of these tablets (Coby 7015) for my girlfriend's 11 year old girl (she loves it!)and I did not immediately flash it...guess what, it was still stable and loaded good...I was even able to get flash 10 installed...then I flashed it to the Market release.

On CobyUSA's Website you can download a flash update, just follow the instructions in the video and you'll be fine. I can't post links because Amazon just deletes them anyways.

Overall, a great device for what it does, and for the price. Kids love it, it works well as an ebook reader (Aldiko is not that bad but I like the Kindle App better), you can download NES, SNES, GBA (Gameboy Advanced), and other games to play...I recommend ROMSGrabber...most games play amazingly well though the lack of multi-touch takes the fun out of some games.

The USB allows the use of most USB Keyboards and Mice, I threw a Logitech wireless combo and it recognized the mouse and keyboard (the usb keyboard is required for any Terminal Emulator (geek stuff) that I've used so far). There are folks working on getting USB to Bluetooth and USB Camera support...so hang in there and keep searching the forums for updates and hacks/mods.

Oh yeah, it does have a microphone, one with poor quality, but it does have one. The "hole" for the built-in microphone is about 1/4 of an inch to the right of the headphone jack (3.5mm or 1/8 inch headphone jack). I downloaded a couple of recording and loops tracks, and then learned of the microphone's existence. However, Google Voice Search does seem to crash from time to time.

I fully intend on purchasing yet another Android tablet, though I will hang on to this one for it's size and convenience...and as a development device..

Review by L. Pancuk : Not bad at all

I have been using this tablet for almost a week now. Here are my first impressions:

It is quite thin and light. Ignore other reviews as they are talking about the model 7005.
It comes with a protective case, USB cable and USB mini-to female connector. The latter is very useful to mount USB drives. Be warned the tablet mounts it as the 'scsi' drive.
The battery life is quite decent (capacity is 3600mAh).
It has only 256 MB memory and the available memory is usually vey small. So you need to kill the backgroud apps from time to time.
It plays Angry Birds (with some font problems) and other 3D games quite well. Looks like there is a support for 2D and 3D acceleration. However, the Quadrant Benchmark marks around 300. Compare it with Galaxy Tab around 900 and Viewsonic gTablet around 1800.
No problem with any book readers. Actually can be a decent book reader considering the size and weight.
No Google Market as it has no Phone support. Not a big deal as I was able to install apps/games from various web sites.
Wi-fi support is good and Wi-fi stays on without any problems.
The is a manufacturer's support web site (cobyusa). It has the latest update zip package and installation video alongside with the online user guide. So you are not alone when it comes to update this tablet.
The screen response is OK if you know how to deal with a resistive screen. You should not use your finger , but the tip of your finger nail or the stylus provided.
Overall a decent tablet, very compact and light (again this is 7015 not 7005) and performs well within the price range..

Review by Chris R. Field "christoph281" : Keep things in context, this is a $150 tablet, not a $700 iPad

UPDATE -------------- ----------------

So, five months after I bought the Coby 7015, still going strong. This is the most annoying sleep / wake up if you do not go out to drain the batteries, and sometimes I have to reset it, but again the price, I can not give it less than 5 stars.

But recently I have tablets A500 Acer (about 450 bucks), and I must say that the tablets Coby absolutly kill performance in all aspects of the story is awesome and an absolute joy to use. At 4 times the price to expect, but if you can squeeze out the extra $ 300 or so, some tablets are damn good coming out now that other options to the right of the iPhone perfectly.

Coby Tablet 7015 Review

I got one of the 10-year anniversary gift from my company. I would probably another.Overall ever bought, I think this is a very small device.

I see a lot of things forward again and again, otherwise im going to try to go through all these aspects.

Forgive my horrible spelling. ;)

Grade, when I compare Samsung phone galazxy Droid S, iPhone, iPod, and everything that comes with the iPhone, I have used many times.

OVERALL ========= ========== building codes

Good! Would expect for a little junky crap. Although the construction quality of the iPhone, it does not feel like a little toy Childs either. If the buttons are fairly solid and catchy. Mini USB, HDMI, and all DC input also built, and there is no doubt that they will stand the test of time. The back is a hard shell with a small speaker, and continued reforms STOUTNESS button.It reasonable heft, but it is light enough to carry around all day. An All in all much better than the sub $ 150 price tag to expect.I do not know Microsystems, so there's no reason they could not easily be used in standard SDHC card, I dozen SDHC cards lying around, only microSD. Hold the micro SD card in the phone folks.


Screen ============== =============
- This is the main point of interest to many, and probably be explained away with the minimum of information. As mentioned in the resistive screen. This is not the same type of screen for your iPod, iPhone or Droid phones or tablets. The device uses a capacitive screen out flat rock. There is also a resistive screen, but it is important to know the screen is not so very frustrating! It works really well! If this is your experience, I suspect a faulty drive.

A) touch and feel - the perfect glass capacitive screen like. It feels like plastic, like plastic and it has more features at your fingertips. Resistive screen layers sandwiched together so they are not hard flat surface, but a little mushy.It does not feel as nice as the capacitive screen, it feels like old technology. The small mushyness your little fingertip-time, tired of the case (Droid / iPhone / iPhone) screen is still not satisfied with the mayor and tired capacitive. I know that last part sounded ridiculous, if you buy this unit, you will know what it means to i.

B) Sensitivity - very good for a resistive screen, actually it is more significant resistive screen I've ever used. I use old LG phone a few years back incentives, resistive screen and the whole experience was awful use.I very pessimistic about this unit because of the screen, but when I started using it worked just as well. It will not with pen, sometimes, you are more comfortable, but also like to respond with finger swipes and the pen is not absolutly necessary.If on a scale of 1-10 with a desire to contact LG and iPhone screen to be 10, sitting here at 1 / 8 solid, but not many, but as I said, this is the best screen I've ever seen resistive.

C) resolution and color. Not bad. A slight bluish tint, almost uncalibrated laptop screen, like Dell. You will like the images is missing some of the poppy reds, yellows and oranges. So if you are a good photographer in time remember to use this as a tool for your pictures, hold the iPhone, Droid. I looked for color correction app as far as 480p dice.The solution, this is a quality DVD, 7 inch screen, but no less of your face you do not see all the little pixels.

AUDIO ========= ==============
their speakers, sounds a little blackberry free, no droids, iPod, etc. Nothing special, tinny and weak as all the other speakers so far, but the standard anyone.It offensive content suitable for podcasting, YouTube drops, etc., but the Krell HEAT system ... expected.;)

Battery life ======== ==========
Maybe it's my only? The battery indicator on my Cyrus around the map, 98% in the second 32 the next, then 75% then 63% then 80%. used as a guide. It seems to have no idea how much juice is left now. I suspect that he want to give you an idea of how much battery time remaining, depending on which programs are running? While managers board.In battery, can I score 5-6 hours surfing the Internet. The tablet screen and keep nice and cool. The screen may be too resistive, lower energy consumption? This is just a guess.

Apps APPSLIB =========== ========== MARKET
The worst HERE FOR UNIT apps apps on the market at large lib crap, diddnt find much of anything I was interested in some more games like angry birds, but there are many others, I am interested in it.There are 165,000 + applications on the Android platform, so why the hell you are limited to about 3,000 apps in the lib? 3000 plus is you want to shit software. Some basic things like Facebook applications, email programs, is there, but otherwise it's mostly junk.

But guess what? that the light at the end of the tunnel! The device can be rooted easily, where you can install some programs back up in many, and when you can side-load. Just ... Google App Market! Yes! It's awesome! 165 000 All Programs now I want!

The problem is the device you have to root (could be a super user rights), install the backup software (which also allows the assembly site outside the program to keep the backup software and digital image on your hard hard hard, right).And to do this, you must be literally a few lines of code (not scary as it sounds I promise! When the parts are easy), you have different files, you must register with the boards and forums to get different things.

I was a hacker I this.I any way, really, Im a person who seeks an idiot, I can understand and do more themselves, as well as the overall idea that I can. It took me a few hours, mainly because of my ignorance of this kind of stuff. The key is to go one step at a time, if something does not work, see the website answer.The you step by step instructions, working many of the problems and solutions inning. Just Google up Cyrus and 7015 on the last page is similar to XDA-developers or something to open. The board is an online forum where people have figured out how junk.It forum thread, read through the different pages you can see what that means, if you have a problem, someone else has already answered the thread somewhere.

Once this is done, and you have Google Apps transforms, the whole experience absolutly tablets dirt cheap because they have everything you want. I recommend doing this (at your own risk), and believe me, if I can do it anyone can, but your time when you get stuck read more into account, it seems that the problems the same type and figured out how to correct and explain how .. aa However, it requires a MicroSD card. Possility Tablet, you brick.But from what I've seen it almost never happens, you are almost a unit from the get-go wrong, or are too careless.

Functionality ========= ========= OPERATING SYSTEM

Not bad at all! Mine keeps waking up is annoying, but it reacts with my order, but twice is frozen, which is more than I can say for most other devices.

Keyboard - not bad at all, well, you get used to using two thumbs on it, you have to pace yourself and do not go there, you can not write as fast as the keyboard, but it seems generally pretty reliable. There are no vibrations, and so there is no haptic feedback that I want on my phone Samsung Galaxy S.

Pic audience - as I said, a little bluish, it's too late to upload pictures. I downloaded a bunch of images to reduce the size of the Droid phone, customers can see my photography, I load them on Cyrus and it takes about 3-4 seconds for images to be locked up with a solution. All in all a great disappointment to some because of the Show-small.Slide processor with slower, you can choose between 2-4 seconds apart and never really sharp image, eating version 1 / 2 Resolution changes the conflict of the processor before the locked the stupid stupid stupid.

E-reader ALDIKO .... To send an e-reader or corners. In my opinion.I briefly looked at it, use it backit screen, which stinks for further reading. But the size of the text and are quite nice, you will not be squinting to read, and chances are that your email reader, but it is so convenient place to look as bright or nook.

The Youtube video app - I do not know, I found it hard to make this work, and so rooted in my Cyrus and installed Google and YouTube app market was much better.

E-mail - sorry, I did not even try this, embedded in my tablet works, when the market as part of Google with my e information.It well.

Widgets seem to work but it fine.I Facebook widgets, gadgets Weather Channel, Google gadget and gadget batteries, it does not seem to limit their living ccan use.You background, it seems to go well with the light on the liver, which I did not notice any lag.

Video playback is smooth and crisp 480P is a high quality.

Wi-Fi performance.Wi-Fi to run as fast as my Dell laptop, S Galaxy Droid my Samsung phone, or any other wireless device for that matter. No deposit leg-flapping speed crazy, but certainly nothing to complain about. If this is your experience, I think you have a faulty unit.

Items =============== ============== Random noted in
Twice now in 5 days after it crashed while I write. Not sure why.

He keeps waking himself up. Not sure why. I heard it on other reports that may be included in a future firmware update.

There is no volume control on the page, again, what the hell? You must determine the size of each video.

Three chords contributions ..... Will a fee of up USB.I was actually surprised, perhaps because it looks like a great mobile phone. Would be nice. Go to Google and look at the charger and Cyrus prepare 7015 tablets to achieve, you saved.lol

more than once, I had to reset the device wif-fi if you slept for a while ...annoying inconvenience, but it is good. Maybe upgrade to resolve this.

======================= =========== Good Bad Ugly
Good -
Very responsive resistive touchscreen.
Built excellent
Strong performance
Expandable memory
Ann speed Wi-Fi
By [...]

Poor
Resistive screen. (I preffer capacitive)
Slightly bluish
No volume controls on the page
MicroSD card .. really? Micro? Can not use SD cards, but we are all liars?

Ugly
Applib. It requires only that the right stinks.This and get Google Apps Marketplace and believe me, Google Apps absolutly worth it, and it is not difficult, and only up appslib sucks.


Conclusion ============== ============
Can not believe how much money you get. This can be had for well under [...]!!!! A lightweight handheld readers potentioally (if sitting) with 165,000 + application requirements, games, etc.One person complained that the device is a true [...] enough to get your head examined. Im surprised this is not for sale closer [...].



Some ideas ...

In order to address a few points, posted a personal review that said that the batteries were long enough, the opening, saw the batteries, then decided to return it. No mention if they actually used yet.Not 5-6 hours surfing the Internet much? Really? Show me a phone Droid type of battery life for Wi-Fi, it is precisely the case up to say iPhone.To 5-6 hours of battery life out pretty silly, because nothing in life really much more than this battery! The review but I do not understand. jump to conclusions rather than try to yourself.

Another person to mention that it sucks that you have a unit root, Google Apps and such. Well. Fig.Either do it or I can not, this is the tablet Coby limits with good potential for some reason so stupid could care less about the fact that the choice, take it or leave it. Are willing to make the experience much better than those who do not. If you have not installed the root and Google Apps, and then it will [...] tablets Galaxy (which looks awesome) or iPhone.To be completely honest, I'm running, but the star position option.

Others complain of the screen, yes, it is not the same as the iPad [...]. That's why it costs less [...]. Not sure why you would expect to have a price tag Ferarri Honda Civic.

If prices are not considered in the ratings at all, I want the iPhone to 7 to 10.
if the price is included in the ratings, give me 10, and the eighth iPhone


Someone mentioned no child-friendly and relevant to your work, I checked I can not see any "porn" in itself, but there are lots of sexy wallpapers and stuff.This may or may not be a concern for you.

And then some stupid review, as the guy calling processor, memory, RAM, things so that all the information, I agree, is reflected in every piece of literature, in my opinion, to dig through the medicine cabinet together to increase again.

I see some reviews on the contrary the result, 1-2 star hotel for my own experience.This me to believe, one of the few things, unrealistic expectations (40%), knowing how to use the units (20%) or possible problems in QC Coby May (40%). To be honest, when you consider the "quality" first Coby brand idea? Keep your receipts and back, it seems that Coby customer service sucks, make sure the store will take it back.


[...], The floor does not blow my money on how well this works (for $[...]).

Unhappy at the root, this is a great browser and yer on the couch, but you want to find out the roots of this unit or the idiot who doesent control what can and can not do the sheep.

Thanks, and have a nice day! .........

Review by Carl E Iverson Jr : Coby Kyros review

I got this Coby Kyros Android Tablet for $139.99 at Kmart during the Black Friday Deals that went on. Everything with this tablet works good, I especially love this Pad compared to Apple's iPad which has limited functionality and is priced at several of hundreds of dollars compared to the Android Pads because I only need something like the iPad for the internet, checking email, reading books, and playing movies but was surprised that it can do a whole lot more than just that!

This Pad uses Android v2.1 OS, it has AppsLib which is a marketplace for apps to install specifically on Android Pads and not Android Phones. The reason why Android Marketplace is not on this Pad is because it does not have Phone capabilities, the Android Marketplace has apps that are for every feature for the Android OS. Other than that, the AppsLib is for Android devices that would not have phone capabilities, hence, Android Tablets. I assume they weeded through the apps that would work on Android Tablets and just created AppsLib. The HDMI output for the device works great! I bought a 16GB microSD card for this and works good. I played a couple of movies with HDMI out in DVD and 720p Quality to an LCD TV and it looked great, sound was great, and there was no delay, lag, or anything wrong with the video! The Pad seemed to play every video format I have thrown at it. I've also used the USB port on this Pad and it recognized my 4GB PNY, 8GB Kingston, & 16GB Patriot Xport flash for additional storage which is a big plus!

The only issues I have had with this Android Pad though is that most games I have played on it so far, the G-Sensors (Accelerometer) are reversed on it. When I play a racing game such as Asphalt or Raging Thunder, you're suppose to twist the Pad to the right or left to turn right or left and it's reversed. This is a big disappointment for me and I hope a fix is released for this. Another problem also is every application I install on this Pad, only about 75% of them will work, and this goes for games and apps.

Overall... the Pad satisfies what I basically need it to do so far and everything else is just a plus for me.

Review by S. Thorpe "Electronics connoisseur" : Awesome 7inch Android Tablet

This review is for the Coby Kyros MID7015 Android Tablet. After purchasing several tablets before the MID7015 I owned the following: Apple Ipad (8mths), Archos 70 (2 weeks), Coby Kyros MID7005 (2 days), Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab (29 days). I returned each of these for various reasons. The Ipad was too big, the Archos was very buggy, the MID7005 was too under powered - yes I opened the unit to find out why the battery only lasted for ~2hrs. I found it only had a 1250mah battery - smaller than the average cell phone. I returned it back to the store, in fact a reviewer here may have mistakingly referred to me on his amazon review of MID7015. I then got the Samsung Galaxy Tab - loved it but quickly learned it was crippled in multiple ways for US customers. Returned it during the 30 day return period - I felt ripped off after paying a high cost premium for it and then having to pay the monthly fees on top of it all. Then I started reading reviews about the Coby Kyros MID7015. Picked up one from a local Kmart, rooted it and installed the app market. I am very pleased with this device. It does everything it is advertised to do and more once rooted. The price right, the size is right, battery life decent and there is no monthly contract.

Let's be clear the MID7015 is not in the same league as the Ipad and Galaxy Tab but it fits my use case just fine. Email, texting, Evernote, Sugarsync, Web browing, online blogging, online shopping, online banking, social networking, watching a few TV shows, basic gaming, reading books, watching YouTube videos, printing and limited office documents review/creation.

I am quite satisfied with my Coby Kyros MID7015.

In fact I am writing this review from the MID7015..

Coby Kyros MID7015 7-Inch Android Internet Touchscreen Tablet - Black
Review by Luis M. Padilla : It works, period.

It worked perfectly right out of the box. Being a Windows only user, it took me a short a while to learn swiping and tapping, but after a few days I think I got the hang of it. Installing apps is easy. The included browser is easy to use. The screen quality is very good. It plays nice with my Windows PC. And most of all I love the long battery life. The included e-book reader app is very nice and easy to use. The only major drawbacks are the lack of GPS, a camera, and Bluetooth. And because of the missing features, many apps that depend on them won't work on this tablet. But for the price, I'll take this any day over the iPad.

Review by M. Parrish "adiva4real" : I actually like this item

I was at first reluctant to buy because of this, I'm not familiar with the Coby brand just because of Black Friday event, I could not resist. I am debating between the iPhone or Android tablets so I decided to get this just to try it for money not measure. It works pretty good, reminds me of my Sprint Evo without phone capabilities. I like the fact that I can download the app Kindle and all of my book review on it. There is also a great app called Jorte, similar to the actual paper planner and I can check my Google mail, when I'm in an area accessible WiFi. This is why I gave it three stars, the question I had is gone from the screen a few times and I actually had to reset the thing twice. In addition, holding my screen fades in and out, but that gives a colorful lines! Not sure what happened there, but it seems to work fine now. I have 30 days to return it so I will continue to operate for a few days and decide if I want to keep what we do.
