Anyone here deep into the Coby Kyros MID7015?

mickeyfinn · 03-28-2011, 01:17 PM

I know a lot of people turn up their figurative noses at any android/tablet/ that retails for less than $500 or so.

But I keep coming across snippets here and there concerning the Coby Kyros MID7015. They usually begin with something like, "This device isn't an Ipad but it doesn't cost $500 either and it does a decent job for the money ($150 or less)."

Kias and Hyundais aren't luxury cars but they are improving and ultimately they get you where you want to go.

Have any MobileReaders owned one of these long enough to provide and in-depth review of the thing or does anyone here know where I can go to read up on it a bit? There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there on it right now.

Thanks.

Guess not. Anyone know of a forum where poor folks like me could go to ask how the Coby Kyros 7015 is as an ereader etc?

Thanks.

slatedroid caters to inexpensive android tablets. there's a dude on here sometimes named Tipstir that has a site and messed with some Cobys for a while. I bet he might have built some firmware. Google him

You should take a look at the tablet everyone is talking about in this thread.....

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=123208

It's a craig tablet and from the looks of this thread, they have done some great things! It's $99 and can be easily returned to the store if you have any problems. One of the members Bhartman, is awesome and I'm sure he will help you with any questions you may have or if you want to install a a new ROM.

Good luck!

Yes at The Android Tablet Zone we do have Coby with HoneyComb type of ROM I've came up with go here The 7015 suffers from 3D graphics not that great and only slightly better than CMP738A which only thing going for that is the CPU can reach 1GHz and the 7015 peaked is 720MHz. But Coby has 7024 to replace the 7015 and the soon to be released 7026 to replace the 7024. Funny how Low cost Audio Electronic Companies are selling low cost tablet's now! Augen started in 2010, followed by CobyUSA and now Craig Electronics. CS (customer service) is weak although Craig CEO keeps telling me his CS is stronger based. Time will have to tell?

7" tablet with 800x600 4:3 is better for reading stuff on the internet, newspapers, books and mags Then on 7" tablet with 800x480 @ 16.9 you loose the extra VIS visual image size.
