Review: What an upgrade! - Ok, I am DULY impressed. Since I purchased the Coby Kyros MID7015 7-Inch last year, I was so frustrated with its performance. It took me so long just to get it running, just to fiddle with the power button, and so forth... But then, the sky parted and light beamed down.. No, seriously, I found out about this new model. All I can say is: Coby must've locked their engineers in a dungeon with little food and water, and said, "We won't release you 'til you make a better tablet!" Sure enough, THEY DID! This tablet, I guess since the touch screen is a different technology, Capacitative rather than Resistive, it makes for ease of use as well as hypersensitivity - if you want to know what I mean, two fingertips or swiping will make your screen zoom in or fly into another browser or app - once you master it, it's so intuitive, it's not even funny. I can download apps faster, and add more than one email account (couldn't do so or knew how, on the earlier model). Other than the loss of Appslib (boo-hoo:() and Getjar lacking a few choice apps, I must say, I'm enjoying this tablet. Also, a friend, who is visually-impaired, explained that she could navigate it and the resolution for her was large and clear. She did not have to tweak the settings! All in all, for the price, it's entertaining, gets more of what I need done on it, and once you master the swiping, dragging and other tactile taps, it's a gem. Can't wait to see what Coby comes out with next.
Review: bought for our kids instead of DS - First of all, we`re not new technology pros. We never owned a tablet before and had to search a lot about this new technology in order to choose a tablet. We had heard the name android maybe a month before we decided to look into this stuff. We bought this tablet instead of a DS for our 7 year old. So it`s mostly for games and reading. We`ve had it for 2 months. We`re very happy with it. We`ve downloaded about 20 kids mostly educational free/lite games and some free e.books and everything works great and we have 126 Mb used for 855 MB free. Why is there only 0.98 GB available for apps ? not sure, but it`s enough for us since we can also use the SDHC card. Some apps can be moved really easily to SDHC card from the tablet directly, some won`t (we try to avoid those, and it`s not so hard). Books go on SDHC card. We only go on the internet to download games or books. We buy our apps and e.books on desertcart.com. It takes some time to download, but not sure how much more it takes compared to other tablets. We got a child protection app for 1 $ so our kids wouldn`t be able to go everywhere (does the job it`s supposed to, but not 100% happy with it, for detail, see my comment on it - I gave it a 3 stars : KidsCare - Child Lock ) We also tried to go with the 7 inch 2.3. But not happy with it, we ended shipping it back and bought another 9742. In the end, it`s cheaper than a DS, since the games are MUCH cheaper and still very educational and fun.

### ⭐⭐ Just OK
*by L***O on September 3, 2012*

I purchased this item because of the price, but now wish I had spent a few more dollars to get a better device. It's "OK", but not great. The touch screen has a tendency to be a bit off, sometimes not responding to the touch, sometimes over-responding. Games tend to lag, and the "skipping" of the touch screen makes play frustrating on some of them. Additionally, the front-facing camera (which I had hoped to use to Skype) only worked for a few days. After that, a "can't connect to camera" error message appeared each time I attempted to active it. A factory reset failed to correct the issue. I am currently awaiting a response from Coby tech support, but have noted after internet searches that this seems to be a fairly common complaint. Beyond that, I would say that GetJar is positively worthless. Installing the Amazon App Store provides access to a reasonable number of apps, but absence of Google Play makes this a much less desirable device. If I had it to do over again, I would wait until I could afford a better device. I don't feel that this one meets my needs or expectations.
