Coby Kyros MID7024-4G Black Android 2.2 Touchscreen Tablet 7 inch 4 GB Review
We have an iPad and a 7" Galaxy Tab, but with 4 kids they disappear at the worst times. So, we sought out an inexpensive tablet for the kids. On black Friday I got one for $99 that was just a paperweight that lights up; it turns out that there are older versions of the Android OS out there that aren't compatible for many games and applications on the devices we owned already. Even when we upgraded the newer OS the capability under the hood was lacking. Lesson learned. Extensive research was then done for price and capability. This is the one we chose and we are pleased with the decision.
These are not iPads. They do not have a robust application cabability. They are, however, excellent devices for the price point. In our travels, we have learned that there are older versions of the Android OS and more current versions on more expensive tablets like the Xoom and Samsung Galaxy 10.1. This OS is just right- in between the Android 2.1 which we found to be useless and the exotic Android 3.1 which would cost hundreds more. If you are like me and sifting through all these reviews and all the jargon, that is what you need to know.
We got Santa to bring us three of these devices. My wife prepped them to have the games the kids love and to connect to our home Wi-fi. On Christmas morning they worked right out of the box. We did not have high expectations due to the price; we just wanted a tablet that would enable the kids to play Angry Birds, get YouTube, and various other apps, some web- based, some not. Thus far, all has been just fine. The kids got them to work & run their apps, and we avoided a headache. These do NOT have 3G, which connects to the Internet anywhere. They need a signal, like your home Wifi. Remember that.
I think many of the negtaive reviews are from some people that didn't do their research who had high expectations. Think of this as a diner; good hamburger apps, don't bother asking for Lobster. As I said, for the price we are quite happy.
