Unfortunately, the wifi was a disaster. Terrible range, wouldn't stay connected. Couldn't download apps because of it. The sensor that tells the tablet which way is up did not work well either.

The wifi was a deal-breaker, I am now sending it back for a refund.
I was hesitant to go with the brand but the 7022 has really good reviews. Perhaps you got a defective one? I would exchange it.

Edit: I've been reading a little on the WiFi issues on the Coby tablets. It seems that there's a time out on WiFi and that's why it cuts out. Supposedly the market has an app that can work around this called Advanced WiFi Lock Free

Hmm it seems the MID8125 has issues with memory corruption. Maybe downgrade to a 7022. It seems to have the best reviews and it's a capacitive screen.
