Coby Kyros MID8127-4G Black Android 2.3 Internet Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet 8 inch 4 GB Review
(November 26, 2011)Before I bought my 1st tablet I did a ton of research, as I didn't want to spend the $'s for a gadget I wouldn't use. I wound up paying ~ $140 for the gen 1 Coby Kyros Mid7015 as an entry level trial. After getting the right apps in via appslib it worked pretty good, but kinda slow and lots of resets needed after freezes. It only had android os 2.1 and not very easily controlled resistive touch screen -- better with a protective film and a stylus. I haven't rooted it yet. A new forum

shows how to root the Coby tablets and install current android os's. Now that I have the 8127 I'll use my 7015 as the experimental device and do some stuff.
But with the 8127 (os 2.3.3) you don't need to. It uses getjar for its apps source (but won't take apps from anywhere else), has a really clear and fast capacitance 4 touch screen with no need for a stylus; dedicated youtube and other popular apps preloaded (one is a very functional apps manager.) It loads fast, downloads fast and accurately, the 8" size is nice to handle, the quality is very good, has updated keyboard, good responsive navi buttons on right side, nice volume rocker on top left. I'm very happy with it. Got it on sale for $170 ($199) at local BiMart store, again after spending weeks of research on which new tablet wouldbe best for the $'s.
Addendum 1. Above I said the 8127 wouldn't take any apps except from getjar; actually I side loaded "skyfire" browser using mini sd card in netbook to dl the app then dl'd to tablet from card. Easy. Now I'm not limited to "outside" apps.
