I got my boys Coby Kyros tablets for Christmas and have been setting them up when I have time.

(This was largely due to me not wanting them to steal my KF anymore!

)

Anyway, there are some apps I wanted to install for one boy (Madden NFL 12 from EA being one) that I don't think are available on the GetJar and won't work from the Amazon Marketplace for their device for some reason (says it's not compatible). I did some research on installing the Google Android Market for the Coby and found these instructions:

Any thoughts on whether the same procedure would work on the KF without rooting to get the Google Market? I'm sure someone's probably tried. Heck, I'd just settle to get Google Apps working.

Thoughts?
