Good for our needs!
By little bad boy
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. Ordered on 12/15, delivered on 12/21.
Our
intentions for the unit is to have something portable to store family
pictures and videos. The wife also wanted something to hold and play
music while at work when connected to speakers. She wants something to
occasionally surf the web and check email too. This thing fits all our
requirements.
The item is good out of the box! This play mpeg4
files straight from our high def camcorder without the need of any
conversion. It runs Angry Birds but the wife won't play it at all. It
has a bigger screen than the 7" Cruz Reader she gave me which made her
happier. I also bought a tablet holder and with nice speakers on each
side it looks great! My wife is having fun with it!
I don't
understand what the others are complaining about. Don't expect it to be
what it's not. If you want something more, get an ipad or a laptop.

You have to understand Operating Systems. . .
By imagesinthewind
I've read a bunch of very negative reviews on this and other Coby
tablets. These tablets are actually very good for the money! The
problem that most reviewers are having has to do with the Gingerbread
OS, or Android 2.3. This OS doesn't run the most current programs like
Netflix. If you want Netflix, you need to find and download the 1.2.1
version of that program. There is an easy way to get Android Market
(see Youtube for it) and Netflix and even Flash on this but one must do
some web surfing to find out HOW. There are also some great Android
Tablet forums out there with people who do all kinds of great things
with the Coby Tablets.
I have 4 Coby Tablets that we got for
Christmas, and all of them are running Gingerbread. All have Netflix,
Flash and the full Android Market and Amazon Apps Market on them. All
the apps we have play perfectly well, even Angry Birds (which does not
need flash) You DO get what you pay for. And for the $120 that this
tablet costs, you can make it do just about everything that the tablets
with Honeycomb (Android 3.2) on them. I watched two movies on Netflix
this morning on my 1126.
One must also understand that not all
apps that work on your phone will work on the tablet. Some are just not
written for tablet. I have several on my phone that will not work on
my tablet because of the coding.
Also, one must do some research
on the different types of touchscreens. Some are Resistive (use a
stylus or fingernail for these, perfect if you have fake nails) and some
are Capacitive (the smooth screen and easy swipe type). You have to
understand how these work before you decide which touchscreen you get.
Resistive is older technology and less expensive, but works great for
some (I have fake nails). For others they can only deal with the type of
touchscreen as they have on their phone. If this is you, get a
Capacitive (Coby Kyros 1125, 1126, 7022, 7127, 8127) as they have the
smooth swipe screen.
So, please don't discount the Coby line
(especially since they are going to come out with a set of tablets that
will have the very newest Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich
very soon) just because they don't spend the extra money to advertise
all over the media. This is a well built, user-friendly, happy line of
tablets, and they have something that will fit everyone! Just do some
research to get the most out of it. And, no, I'm not a Coby rep, LOL!
Happy New Year to all!!

Took DAYS to set up!
By RJ'sMom
Same as Coby Kyros 8-Inch Android 2.3 4 GB Internet Touchscreen Tablet - MID8125-4G (Black)
I
bought this talet as a learning tool for my 15 month old (and for
future use for my 3 month old). I couldn't justify spending $500 on an
iPad when there are thousands of free android apps that would be
appropriate for toddlers. So I was excited to buy this for $130 on Cyber
Monday! It came by Saturday.
This is a nifty little gadget. My
son already loves it- there are tons of apps on amazon that will teach
letters, numbers, colors, animals, etc. We also love the musical ones
like the mini piano and finger drums. I spent a great deal of time
searching through the free apps and found 120 of them that seemed worth
trying out.
Here's the part I hate about this tablet: it takes FOREVER to get it all set up. Here's what I had to all do:
-set
up email account through the device (HINT- if you enter it a million
times and it says username/password incorrect, you probably have to
change your email settings to enable IMAP)
-go to amazon, choose apps.
-download amazon AppStore
-download each app one at a time. This takes a while.
-install each app once they're downloaded. This also takes a while.
-the internal memory will fill up quickly. So I put in a micro SD card. I then transferred the apps to the card (one at a time).
-continue downloading/installing apps now that there was more memory available.
-eventually
the SD card was full. So then I went through the apps that were
installed. Mayn didn't work, so I deleted those. Then I was able to
download more (and transfer, and check to see if they worked...)
So in general, the PROS would be:
-it's fun, lots of apps to check out
-pretty inexpensive
CONS:
-It is super slow. Probably takes about 1-2 minutes to start up (like a computer; I know iPads are pretty instantaneous).
-It's annoying to have to download everything item by item.
-The information guide is a joke. It just tells what the buttons are (in 3 different languages).
It
fulfilled my need as an educational tool for kids, but if you're
looking for something hardcore (or if you don't have a weekend to waste
setting it up), you might want to keep looking.
***UPDATE*** I'm
returning this, and changing my rating to 2 stars. I thought I was
willing to deal with its slow speed, but half the apps don't work, it
keeps exiting apps on me, and there's hardly any memory space on it,
even with a memory card. I think I'll get a kindle fire instead. This
tablet is just poorly made, and isn't worth what they're charging for
it.
Too see the price
