Review: Great tablet - This tablet is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. For the price, I really don't think it can be beat. One nice thing about it is that Coby, while a cheaper brand, is at least a BRAND. They have a website with contact information, help topics, and support available. They have products available everywhere etc. The reason I point this out is because in this price range, you will mostly get no name tablets from who knows who. If you have trouble, I would not know who to contact or even who to be mad at, since so many of the cheap tablets are not branded at all. Coby is a value brand, but seem to be putting everything they have into building better and better products. The main thing I would stress to anyone interested is that in addition to Getjar app store, you can also access the desertcart Android app store (as well as several others you can find online). You can easily find the information online on how to download it. It's also on desertcarts app site, just do a search for it. You can even get the free app each day that they charge for every other day. I check every day and there are some good ones that it's fun to get for free. Even Getjar is pretty good. Unless you have a very specific predetermined list of apps you must have, the sources available on this tablet will suit you well. And for many things, you can simply bookmark the mobile website if there is no app for something that is primarily a link to the website anyway. Now, I use my tablet as a book reader, to play some games, check email etc. Just normal stuff. No business apps. No need for the games that only a few powerful computers can run. I'm just a casual user. I have looked at some of those lists like "the 100 best android tablet apps" etc and have not found any that I wanted that I couldn't get from Getjar or desertcart. But that' just me. The screen is better than I expected. I have used the Kindle Fire and it's screen is definiately better. However, this screen is crisp, clear, bright, and accurate. The touch mechanism is perfect. Just an easy tap and things work. Side by side, they may look differently, but I don't anyone would look at the Coby by itself and think anything is bad about it. I have read ebooks on it for hours at a time and have no complaints. Page turns are very smooth. All of the normal adjustments are there. Font, font size, black on white/white on black lettering etc. The speaker is fairly strong. The sound is loud and doesn't distort much when turned up. Wifi reception could be a little better. Doesn't drop the signal, but has less bars than my laptop sitting right next to it. Seems like it's a little slower on the downloads when it's getting minimal bars. When I'm close to the router, it's faster. Haven't used Skype yet, and may not ever use it. But the camera on this tablet is pretty low quality. But I did want one with a camera, just in case I want to video chat once in a while.. Some of the really cheap ones have no camera at all. Battery life is not as long as the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire, but I have been getting about 6 hours if I am downloading apps or watching video the entire time. I get longer if I am reading books. I do adjust the screen brightness down a bit for reading. It is better for my eyes and does keep the battery fuller longer. I am satisfied with the battery, just don't expect 12 hours like some of the tablets are advertising now. I don't think they actually get quite that long for most people, but it is how they are advertised. Note for anyone looking at this tablet--Coby is coming out with a newer, updated 7 inch model called the MID7065 in spring of 2013. I didn't want to wait and pay $50 more for it, but it dual core and has Google Play installed. Otherwise, it appears to be exactly the same, appearance wise. But I look at it this way--if I really wanted a dual core tablet with Google Play for more money, those were already available when I chose this one. I am quite happy with the tablet and would recommend it to everyone except "power" users who know they need more. For the rest of us, for under $100, it's really hard to beat. I don't think I could have gotten anything better for this price and I didn't really want to spend much more. Nothing about the tablet has been a disappointment. It also comes with a regular wall charger in addition the usb cable. desertcart charges for it with the kindle fire. This also has no ads like the kindle fire. This Coby case also included a sleeve style case to protect it when carrying it around. Cases are extra on most tablets. This tablet also comes with a nice manual to help you get started. Some others don't really include a guide at all. Edit: Now that I have had this tablet for a while, I still love it. The desertcart app store is great, content wise, although I do have to reload it on the tablet sometimes to get it to work. I don't think it's the tablets fault, just a compatibility issue between the hardware and software. I really don't think the Google Play store would give me anything significant I can't get from the desertcart Store. The only downer of this tablet is that it doesn't charge from the mini USB port. The only way to charge is by the included charger. Battery life is good though. I turn off wifi when I am not actively using it and it makes a huge difference in battery life. I would not recommend leaving wifi on when the tablet is just sitting around but turned on or while reading books etc. I also do not keep the screen at maximum brightness all of the time. It helps preserve battery as well. I have downloaded an app to make turning wifi on/off quick and easy and adjusting the screen brightness easy too--without having to go into menus and find the settings.
Review: good - Okay, I've had this little gem for about 5 days now. I was looking for a ten inch tab, but didn't have a lot of cash. I already have the Acer Iconia A-100, which is a great tablet. But i wanted a 10 incher. When i first got it, it ran fine but there was no Google App Store, bummer, So I got the desertcart App Store. everything was working fine but when I loaded Netflix it didn't work, the app loaded fine but the screen would just go blank. I called Coby Customer Service and they said it was a problems with Adobe flash not running right? Anyways, with Coby you actually get a live person however, you may not get one that knows anything. So i looked around on the internet and found that this is a problem with the tablet. I also found a solution. A tech advised to reboot the system and erase factory files. Here is the message ---- "Power the unit off (holding power buttom) and selecting Power off, then hold simultaneusly back button and on buttom 8 seconds,when the android icon appears press the back button, in the menu select wipe data/factory reset pressing home buttom and then press back buttom, in the next screen select "yes delete all user data" pressing back buttom, and in the next screen select "reboot system now" with the back buttom and wait. IT WORK FOR MY TABLET." ------ After doing this download the Good e-Reader app store through Getjar. The Good e-Read app store has everything. Netflix now works great on my tablet. I was also able to down load pretty much every app the Google Play Store has. They even have the Google Play Store app. Anyways, after doing this my tablet runs smoother, seems to be faster and everything works. Took this tablet from a 3 to a 5 star. I now love this tablet. Oh, when doing this it will erase things (music, pics, videos) on the tablet but not on the SD Card.
